OPERATION

OPERATING THE POLE SAW

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Always reduce the tension off the chain again after finishing work. The chain
contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it can damage the pole saw.
IMPORTANT: 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. Never
adjust the guide bar or saw chain when the motor is operating.
