WARNING: When using an electric
chain saw, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
8. Wear snug-fitting clothes when operating Pole
Saw or chain saw. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can get caught in moving saw
chain.
9. Wear the following safety gear when operating
saws:
• heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber gloves when
working outdoors)
• steel-toed safety footwear with non-skid soles
•eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles,
or face screen
• safety hard hat
• ear mufflers or ear plugs
• hair covering to contain long hair
•face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)
10. Before cutting, always provide the following:
•clear work area
• secure footing
• planned retreat path from falling limbs
11. Inspect tree before trimming. Make allowance
for branches to fall freely to the ground.
12. Do not use your Pole Saw to fell saplings. Use
the chain saw without pole attachment.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out-
let of your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, a polarized extension cord will
be necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.
WHILE OPERATING POLE SAW
1. Stay alert. Use common sense while operating
the unit.
2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite in-
juries.
3. Be aware of extension cord while operating chain
saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord
away from chain and operator at all times.
4. Keep children, animals, and bystanders away
from Pole Saw and extension cord. Only Pole
Saw user should be in work area.
5. Do not use the Pole Saw to cut down trees. Use
the chain saw without pole attachment and only
if you are trained or have expert help.
6. Do not use near power lines. Keep at least 10
feet away from electrical lines.
7. Grip Pole Saw securely - one hand on the pole,
the other on the handle.
8. Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.
9. Before starting Pole Saw, make sure chain is not
touching anything.
10. To guard against electrical shock, avoid body
contact with grounded objects such as pipes,
fences, and metal posts.
