• Use extreme caution when cutting a limb that is under
tension. When wood tension is released, the limb could
spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury or
death.
• Do not carry a plugged-in unit. Carry the pole chain saw
from one place to another with the unit unplugged. During
transport, hold the pole at its balance point (close to the saw
end), with the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
• Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain
saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and be whipped
towards the operator, which could pull the operator off
balance.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
• Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating
the extended-reach pole saw may result in serious personal
injury.
• Carry the extended-reach pole saw by the handle with
the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing the
extended-reach pole saw, always fit the saw chain device
cover. Proper handling of the extended-reach pole saw will
reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the extended-reach pole saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the extended-reach pole
saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the
cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut
by the saw chain.
• Do not use the extended-reach pole saw in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• Always use head protection when operating the extended-
reach pole saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury.
Kickback
m
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.
AVOID CONTACTING THE GUIDE BAR TIP WITH ANY OBJECT.
In some cases, when the tip makes contact with an object, it
may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the pole chain saw, which could result in serious
personal injury.
• Kickback safety devices on this pole chain saw include a
skip chain and a low kickback guide bar. These will reduce,
but not entirely prevent, kickbacks. Follow the necessary
precautions indicated in this operator's manual to avoid
kickbacks.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw,
one hand gripping the trigger and the other hand gripping
the pole. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around the trigger and the pole.
• Keep all guards in place on the pole chain saw. Make sure
they are in proper working order.
• Do not overreach or extend arms above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Never try cutting through two branches at the same time.
Only cut one at a time.
• Do not bury the guide bar nose or try to cut by boring the
guide bar nose into the wood.
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch the
chain.
• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
• Use the low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with
this pole chain saw. Only use genuine All Season Power
replacement parts designed specifically for use with this pole
chain saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp and
properly tensioned.
Pole Chain Saw Trimming Precautions
• Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming. Always
position yourself outside the path of falling debris.
• Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable support
while using the pole chain saw.
• Keep all handles and grip surfaces clean, dry, and free from
oil and grease.
• Always use both hands to operate the pole chain saw. Keep
a firm, steady pressure on the pole chain saw while cutting,
but do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than the length
of the guide bar.
• Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of the
pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the work
area.
• Do not use the pole chain saw near cable, electric power, or
telephone lines. Maintain a minimum clearance of
50 ft (15 m) from all power lines.
