Cutting

BASIC CUTTING
DANGER: To reduce the risk of shock,
never operate this tool near any wires or
cables which may be carrying electric
current.
Electricity can arc from one point to
another. Maintain a distance of at least
50 ft (15 m) between the pole saw and
any electrical line carrying live current or
branch contacting an electrical line.
Before working closer than 50 ft (15 m),
contact electric utility and make sure the
current is turned off (Fig. 22).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
wear proper boots, gloves, head, ear, and
eye protection.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, make sure the cord
insulation is intact and that the cord is in
a dry location where there is no danger of
it being cut or tripped over.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
always be sure of footing and hold the pole
saw firmly with both hands while the motor
is running.
WARNING: Falling limbs may bounce
when they hit the ground. Never work
under the limb being cut.
Observe all applicable national and municipal
rules and regulations for cutting .
Take frequent breaks to reduce the risk of
injury .
Before beginning to cut, make sure the saw
chain is properly tensioned, the automatic oiler
is functioning, and the chain is sharp .
Saw chains are made to cut wood only . Do not
use the pole saw to cut any other materials,
and do not allow the chain to come into
contact with dirt or rocks . These materials
are extremely abrasive and will wear away
protective plating from the chain in a very short
time .
Sharpen or replace the saw chain if any of these
conditions occur:
• The pressure required to make cuts increases
noticeably
• Wood chips coming off of the chain are very
fine or dust-like
Do not work with a dull chain as it will increase
the effort required to cut, cause jagged cuts,
and increase wear on the pole saw . Never force
a dull chain to cut .
Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar
against the wood . Use only light pressure,
letting the saw do the work .
