• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control
• Use the power tool, accessories, and
tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained Attempting
to perform service or maintenance outside of
the scope of this manual or failure to perform
recommended inspection and cleaning may cause
denial of warranty claims

PS600 Multi-attachment
Important Safety Instructions
material Saw chain continues to move after the
switch is turned off A moment of inattention
while operating the pole saw may result in
serious personal injury
• Carry the pole saw by the handle with the
saw chain stopped. When transporting or
storing the pole saw, always fit the saw chain
device cover and activate the trigger lock out
mechanism Proper handling of the pole saw will
reduce possible personal injury from the saw
chain
• Hold the pole saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. A saw chain contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the pole saw "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock
• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use near any electrical power lines. Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious
injury or electric shock resulting in death
• Always use two hands when operating the
pole saw. Hold the pole pruner with both hands
to avoid loss of control
• Always use head protection when operating
the pole saw overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury
Battery and Charger

• Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into machines that have the switch
on invites accidents
• Do not charge battery in rain or in wet
locations.
• Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the battery
charger increases the risk of an electric shock
• Recharge battery only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer (Oregon C
Series chargers). A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack
