The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their explanations, deserve your
careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give
are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Kickback may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast
reverse action, kicking the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator. Either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could
result in serious injury to the user.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built
into your saw. As a pole saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate
the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Grip saw firmly. Hold the pole saw firmly with both hands when the
motor is running. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands,
the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle.
• Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground
or other obstruction.
• Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze
the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
• Do not over reach.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain.
• Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT operate a pole saw with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one-handed
operation. A pole saw is intended for two-handed use.
• Do not operate a pole saw if you are fatigued.
