◾
Always hold the pole saw with your one hand on
EN
the rear handle and your other hand on the front
handle. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or
bystanders can result from one-handed operation.
◾
Hold the machine 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 machinel "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
◾
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
◾
Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of
a pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
◾
Always keep proper footing and operate the pole
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders
may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole saw.
◾
Never operate a pole saw that is damaged or
improperly adjusted or that is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the trigger switch is released.
◾
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other
foreign objects prior to cutting.
◾
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the pole saw 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.
◾
Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the
pole saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/
or sprocket wear, as well as broken chain or bar,
leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of
material.
◾
Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar
can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear,
as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback,
chain throw or the ejection of material.
◾
Carry the pole saw with two hands on the handles,
with the pole saw switched off. When transporting
or storing the pole saw always fit the guide bar
cover. Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving 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 pruner
may result in serious personal injury.
◾
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback. Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury.
◾
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
◾
Cut wood only. Do not use pole saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use pole saw
for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the pole saw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
◾
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.
◾
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack
whenever you leave the tool.
◾
Store Idle Appliances Indoors. When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high
or locked-up place with the battery pack removed, out
of reach of children.
◾
Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the
product, 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.
