Avoid Hot Surfaces
During operation, the drive shaft housing and attachment
bearing housing may become very hot, too hot to touch. Avoid
contact during and immediately after operation.
Kickback
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the Power PrunerTM and result in serious injury to
the operator or any one standing close by. Hold the Power PrunerTM firmly with both hands with
thumbs and fingers encircling the front and rear handles. Be aware of the down and outward path
the pruner will take after the cut is made.
Kickback may occur when the moving saw chain at 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. In some cases this may cause a
lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar and saw chain up
and back or down and back towards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause the operator to lose control of the Power Pruner
TM
which could result in serious personal injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise which contributes to accidents.
Avoid contact of the guide bar tip with any object while the saw chain is
moving.
Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire, or other
obstructions which could cause kickback or damage to the saw chain.
If the saw chain does strike a foreign object, immediately stop the engine, inspect and repair the Power
Power Pruner
TM
if necessary.
