• Don't Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Don't Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.
• Disconnect Appliance – Disconnect the appliance from
the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when
changing accessories such as blades, and the like.
• Store Idle Appliances Indoors – When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place – out of reach of children.
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Keep cutting edge sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of
injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically, and if
damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in
this manual.
4 POLE SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. 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 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. 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 or its
own cord. 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.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the
cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut
by the saw chain.
• 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.
English
• 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 saw 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.
5 CHAINSAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not in contact
with anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand at the
rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective product for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a
chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw
only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert of
spring back. When the tension in the wood is released,
the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or
throw the chainsaw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chainsaw, always fit
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback.
