OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep bystanders 50 feet (15 meters) away when
operating the saw.
2. Do not use the pole saw to cut down trees. Use a
chain saw without a pole attachment.
3. Grip pole saw securely - one hand on the pole, the
other on the handle.
4. Keep finger off the trigger until ready to make cut.
5. Before starting the pole saw, make sure the chain is
not touching anything.
6. Keep all parts of your body away from the chain
when the saw is running.
7. Do not force the chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
8. When cutting limbs or branches that are under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, the
limb could spring back and strike operator causing
severe injury or death.
9. When carrying pole saw from one place to another:
• hold pole at balance point
• keep guide bar and chain to the rear
10. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole
saw. Use a chain saw only, with extreme care.
Slender matter may catch in the chain and be
whipped toward you. This could also pull you off
balance.
11. Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming.
Always position yourself out of the path of falling
debris (Fig. 4).
12. Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable
support while using the pole saw.
13. Always use both hands to operate pole saw. Keep a
firm, steady pressure on the pole saw while cutting,
but do not try to force the saw through the wood.
14. Do not use the pole saw to cut limbs larger than
4” (10 cm) in diameter.
15. Keep other persons away from cutting end of pole
saw and at a safe distance from work area. (Fig. 5).
16. Do not use the pole saw near cable, electric power
or telephone lines. Maintain a minimum clearance of
10 feet from all power lines (Fig. 6).
