22. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the pole chain saw when you are tired.
23. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, appliances
should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up
place out of the reach of children.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the pole chain saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-
rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The extension cord
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

WARNING!
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the pole chain saw to make
contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots offers
some protection.

4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.

(A) Tie cord as shown
(B) Connect plug and receptacle
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the pole chain saw by the
cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

WARNING!
SHOCK HAZARD! – To protect yourself from
electrocution, do not operate the pole chain saw within
50 ft (15 m) of overhead wires. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in severe personal injury.
Operating Tips for Pole Chain Saws
• Note the extension cord's location relative to the tool. While
operating the pole chain saw, be careful not to trip over the
cord.
• Keep the cord away from the chain and the operator at
all times.
• Keep children, animals, and bystanders a safe distance away
from the pole chain saw and extension cord.
• Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the
work area.
• Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw.
Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on the
trigger and the other hand on the pole.
• Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the saw
chain is not in contact with any object.
• Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with
grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
• Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will perform more effectively and safely if it is
used at the rate for which it was designed.
