Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the tool handles, with both hands on
the tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the tool.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment guide bars and saw chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
• Follow all instructions when freeing a pinched
saw. Make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the tool
while freeing a pinch may result in serious personal
injury.
• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the tool. Make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected actuation of the tool while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
• Do not attempt to limb or trim a tree until you
have an understanding of the risks and how to
avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the opera-
tor or bystanders while limbing or trimming a tree.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike
the operator and/or throw the tool out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Stop the tool before setting it down. Remove
finger from trigger and wait for the chain to come to
a full stop before setting the tool down.
• Carry the tool by the hand grip to avoid accidental
starting. Proper handling of the tool will prevent injury.
• Always turn off the tool when transporting from
one location to another. Do not carry tool with
finger on the trigger. Accidental starting can cause
serious personal injury.
• When transporting or storing the pole saw al-
ways fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the pole saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
• Do not immerse in water or spray with a hose. Do
not clean with a pressure washer. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Store tool indoors.
• Do not store the power tool on or near to fertiliz-
ers or chemicals.
• Always turn off the tool and then remove battery
pack before changing or removing accessories.
• Use only recommended accessories. Others
may be hazardous.
• Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
• Chain is sharp. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing the bar and chain. Improp-
erly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the chance for kickback.
Other Safety Rules
• Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the tool.
• Dress Properly - Wear snug fitting clothing. Al-
ways wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, overalls,
jeans or chaps made of cut resistant material or
ones that contain cut resistant inserts. Wear non-slip
safety footwear. Wear non-slip heavy duty gloves
to improve your grip and to protect your hands.
Do not wear jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go
barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which
could be drawn into the motor or catch the chain
or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder
level. Wear hearing and head protection.
• Heavy protective clothing may increase operator
fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke. During
weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should
be scheduled for early morning or late afternoon
hours when temperatures are cooler.
• Always be aware of what you are doing when us-
ing the tool. Use common sense. Do not operate
the tool when you are tired, ill, or under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the unit is running.
• Never let anyone use your tool who has not
received adequate instructions in its proper
use. This applies to rentals as well as privately
owned tools.
• Do not hang from pull hook.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.

Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
