WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
speci cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
GENERAL PRUNING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the pruning saw is operating. Before you start the
pruning saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating pruning
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with
the saw chain.
b) Always hold the pruning saw with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the pruning saw with a reversed hand con guration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
c) Hold the pruning saw 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 pruning saw „live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for
hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury
from ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a ladder, from
a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a pruning
saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the pruning
saw only when standing on xed, secure and level sur-
face. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance
or control of the pruning saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood bres is released
the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and /or throw
the pruning saw out of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you o balance.
i) Carry the pruning saw by the front handle with the
pruning saw switched o and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the pruning saw, always
t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pruning saw
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
k) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
l) Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use pruning saw for
cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the pruning saw for operations di erent than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
