saw to release the chain saw which is stuck
by making a cut which is at least 11.8" (30
cm) away from the chain saw which is stuck.
Regardless of whether a handsaw or chain
saw is used to release a chain saw which has
gotten stuck, the cuts made to release the
chain saw must always be made towards the
outside (towards the tips of the branches) so
that the chain saw does not fall along with the
pieces which have been cut off , complicating the
situation.
Poor maintenance, use of non-approved spare
parts, or the removal of safety equipment might
result in serious injury.
Incorrect, imprecise sharpening of the chain will
result in increased danger due to recoiling and
might result in serious injury.
There is a risk of the chain jolting when cutting
through the last fi bers. Please keep a safe
distance away in this area.
Pruning chain saw safety warnings:
1) Keep all parts of the body away from the
pruner when the pruner is operating.
Before you start the pruner, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating
pruners can cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
2) Always hold the pruner with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the front handle. Holding the
pruner with a reversed hand confi guration
increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain
could contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire can make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4) Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective equipment
for head, hands, legs, and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing
will reduce personal injury by fl ying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
5) Do not operate a pruner in a tree.
Operation of a pruner while up in a tree can
result in personal injury.
6) Always keep proper footing and operate
the pruner only when standing on a fi xed,
secure, and level surface. Slippery or

unstable surfaces such as ladders can cause
a loss of balance or control of the pruner.
7) When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fi bres is released, the spring-
loaded limb could strike the operator and/or
throw the pruner out of control.
8) Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material could
catch the pruner chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
9) Carry the pruner by the front handle with
the pruner switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing
the pruner, always fi t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the pruner will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
10) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning, and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
could break the pruner chain.
11) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery, causing loss of control.
12) Cut wood only. Do not use pruner for
purposes not intended. For example:
do not use pruner for cutting plastic,
masonry, or non-wood building materials.
Use of the pruner for operations diff erent than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
13) Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and
fi ngers encircling the pruner handles,
with both hands on the pruner. Maintaining
control of the pruner will reduce the risk of
losing control. Do not let go of the pruner.
14) Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This enables better control
of the pruner in unexpected situations.
15) Only use replacement bars and chains
specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains can cause
chain breakage and increase the risk of injury.
16) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
pruner chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased risk of injury.
General safety information for chain saws:
a) Follow all instructions when clearing
jammed material, storing or servicing the
chain saw. Make sure the switch is off and
the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
actuation of the chain saw while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in
