WARNING: READ ALL SAFETY
WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
WARNING: When using this device,
safety precautions must be followed. For your
own safety and that of bystanders, please
read these instructions before operating the
device. Do not use the device without reading
the instruction manual. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate polesaw in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Polesaws create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors,
and animals out of the work area while
starting or cutting with the polesaw.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
polesaws. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose the polesaw to rain or wet
locations. Water entering a polesaw will
increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a polesaw. Do not use a polesaw while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating polesaws may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Carrying
polesaws with your finger on the switch or
plugging in polesaws that have the switch
on invites accidents.

SAFETY RULES

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the polesaw on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
polesaw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the polesaw in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
POLESAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the polesaw. Use the correct
polesaw for your application. The correct
polesaw will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the polesaw if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any polesaw
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments
changing accessories, or storing
polesaws. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
polesaw accidentally.
• Store idle polesaws out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the polesaw or these
instructions to operate the polesaw.
Polesaws are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain polesaws. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the polesaw's
operation. If damaged, have the polesaw
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained polesaws.
• 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 polesaw, 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 polesaw for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
