WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:
− Read instruction manual before using.
− Save instruction manual.
− Keep hands away from blades.
− Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
A good, firm grip on the pole and handle with both hands will help
you maintain control. Place one hand on the pole and your other
hand on the rear handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the
pole and handle. A firm grip together with positioning handle
against your body will help you maintain control of the saw. Don't
let go.
WARNING: Do not operate pole saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a
scaffold; this is extremely dangerous.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after pole saw is turned off.
Do not use under wet conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or
limbs under tension, because slender and tense material may catch
the saw and be whipped toward you, pulling you off balance or
springing back.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this type of tool to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING: Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil or, if not
available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted. One
minute of use will consume approx. 0.15 fl. oz. (5ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the chainsaw cutting head
when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each
use. When storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or
longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust
on the chain and bar sprocket.
WARNING: Do Not use the pole saw with any type of accessory or
attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
WARNING: Beware of the cord while operating the saw. Keep
the cord away from the chain. Be careful not to trip over the
extension cord.

WARNING: Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an
object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the chain saw in the cut. Contact at the
upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig
into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightening fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and
back toward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched along the top of
the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control
which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
The following precautions should be followed to minimize
kickback:
1.
Always grip the pole and handle firmly with both hands when
unit is running. Place one hand on the pole and your other hand
on the rear handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the
pole and handle. A firm grip together with positioning handle
against your body will help you maintain control of the saw if
kickback occurs.
2.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from
obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log,
branch, fence or any other obstruction that could be hit while you
are operating the saw.
3.
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the
throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
4.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip protection.
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip.
Maintain secure footing and balance.
WARNING: To protect yourself from electrocution, maintain a min. of
50 ft. (15m) from over head electrical lines.
WARNING:Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. away.
WARNING: Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.If
chain jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR
AND CHAIN. THEY CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND
VERY DANGEROUS.
