5. When handling the saw chain or adjusting the
chain tension, wear protective gloves. Saw
chain can cut bare hands severely.
6. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Work area safety
Keep the tool at least 15 m away from electric
1.
lines and communication cables (including
any branches contacting them). Touching or
approaching high-voltage lines with the tool
can result in death or serious injury. Watch
power lines and electrical fences around the
work area before starting operation.
2. Operate the tool under good visibility and day-
light conditions only. Do not operate the tool in
darkness or fog.
3. During operation, never stand on an unstable
or slippery surface or a steep slope. During
the cold season, beware of ice and snow and
always ensure secure footing.
4. During operation, keep bystanders or animals
at least 15 m away from the tool. Stop the tool
as soon as someone approaches.
5. When working with two or more people, keep a
distance of at least 15 m or more between each
other, and put a supervisor.
6. Before operation, examine the work area for
wire fences, walls, or other solid objects. They
can damage the saw chain.
7. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Preparation
1. Before assembling or adjusting the tool,
switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge or the spark plug cap.
2. Before handling the saw chain or adjusting the
chain tension, wear protective gloves.
3. Before starting the tool, inspect the tool for
damages, loose screws/nuts or improper
assembly. Sharpen blunt saw chain. If the saw
chain is bent or damaged, replace it. Check all
control levers and switches for easy action.
Clean and dry the grips and handles.
Never attempt to start the tool if the tool is
4.
damaged or not fully assembled. Otherwise
serious injury may result.
Adjust the shoulder harness to suit the opera-
5.
tor's body size.
6. Adjust the chain tension properly. Refill the
chain oil, if necessary.
Refueling
1. Stop the engine before refueling. Keep away
from open flames and sparks. Never smoke
during refueling. Otherwise fire and/or explosion
may result.
2. Refuel outdoors. Refueling in a closed room can
cause explosion of fuel vapor.
3. Avoid contact with fuel or engine oil. Do not
inhale fuel vapor. If fuel or oil spills, wipe it off
from the machine and/or ground immediately.
If fuel spills on your clothes, change it immedi-
ately to prevent it from catching fire.
4. After refueling, carefully tighten the fuel tank
cap and check for fuel leak. Move at least 3 m
(10 feet) away from the fueling source and site
before starting engine.
Only transport and store fuel in approved con-
5.
tainers. Keep children away from the stored
fuel.
Starting the tool
Wear the personal protective equipments
1.
before starting the tool.
2. Before starting the tool, make sure that there
is no person or animal in the work area.
3. When installing the battery cartridge or start-
ing the engine, keep the saw chain and guide
bar clear of your body and other object, includ-
ing the ground. The saw chain may move when
starting and may cause serious injury or damage
to the saw chain and/or property.
Place the tool on firm ground. Maintain good
4.
balance and secure footing.
5. Check that there is sufficient difference
between idling and engagement speed to
ensure that the attachment is at a standstill
while the engine is idling (if necessary reduce
idling speed).
If the saw chain moves at idle, stop the engine
6.
and adjust the idle speed down.
Operation
In the event of an emergency, switch off the
1.
tool immediately.
2. If you notice any unusual condition (e.g. noise,
vibration) during operation, switch off the tool.
Do not use the tool until the cause is recog-
nized and solved.
The saw chain continues to move for a short
3.
period after switching off the tool. Don't rush
to contact the saw chain.
4. During operation, use the shoulder harness.
Keep the tool on your right side firmly.
5. Hold the front grip or front handle with your
left hand and the rear grip or rear handle with
your right hand, no matter you are right-hander
or left-hander. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the grips or handles.
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
6.
only, because the saw chain may contact hid-
den wiring. A saw chain contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the extend-
ed-reach pruner "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
7. Never attempt to operate the tool with one
hand. Loss of control may result in serious or
fatal injury. To reduce the risk of injury, keep
your hands and feet away from the saw chain.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Watch for hidden obsta-
cles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches
to avoid stumbling. Clear fallen branches and
other objects away.
