• Starting, stopping and restarting the motor repeatedly
within a few seconds can generate a great deal of heat
and damage the motor. To protect the life of your cordless
pole chain saw, always wait at least five seconds after
stopping before restarting the saw.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in
use. To prevent this, empty the oil tank after each use. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer),
be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on
the chain and bar sprocket.
m
WARNING!
Be certain that the chain is not in contact
with any object when you start the motor.
m
WARNING!
Keep hands away from the chain. Keep
hands on the handles. Do not overreach.
A good, firm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain control. When using the pole chain saw, place one
hand on the rear pole soft grip and the other hand on the rear
handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the pole and
handle. A firm grip combined with proper positioning of the
handle against your body will help you maintain control of the
saw. Do not let go of the pole chain saw while it is in operation.
m
WARNING!
Do not operate the pole chain saw in a
tree, on a ladder or on a scaffold. Using the tool under such
circumstances is extremely dangerous.
m
CAUTION!
The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
Do not use the pole chain saw under wet conditions. Use
extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings or limbs
under tension because slender and tense material may catch
the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance or
spring back.
Do not use the pole chain saw to cut vines and/or small
underbrush.

WARNING!
Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.
m
WARNING!
Do not cut trees near electrical wires.

WARNING!
Kickback may occur when the moving
chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of
the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the
chain saw in the cut (Fig. 24). Contact at the upper portion
of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into
the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning-fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up
and back toward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched
along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions
can cause loss of saw control, which can throw the operator
off balance and result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a user, you
should take several precautions to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
