Pole saw safety warnings
WARNING – Do not operate near electrical
power lines. The unit has not been designed to
provide protection from electric shock in the
event of contact with overhead electric lines, Consult
local regulations for safe distances from overhead
electric power lines and ensure that the operating
position is safe and secure before operating the saw
chain pole pruner.
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. Saw chain continues to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the pole pruner may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Carry the pole pruner by the handle with the saw
chain stopped. When transporting or storing the
pole pruner, always fit the saw chain device cover.
Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
c) Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
pole pruner "live" and could give the operator an
8
electric shock.
d) Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
e) Do not use the pole pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
f) 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.
g) Always use two hands when operating the pole
pruner. Hold the pole pruner with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
h) Always use head protection when operating the
pole pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR

Pole saw attachment
other or be short-circuited by other metal
objects. 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 fire.
d) Do not remove battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.

affected area with copious amounts of water
and seek medical advice.

temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
r) When disposing of battery packs, keep
battery packs of different electrochemical
systems separate from each other.
s) Recharge only with the charger specified
by Worx. Do not use any charger other than
