Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
Alligator™ Lopper.
Warning! Never use the tool above shoulder height. Always
position yourself out of the path of falling branches and debris.
Warning! Do not use this tool to fell trees.
u
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.
u
Keep all parts of the body and clothing away from
the saw chain at all times. Before you start the tool,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating the tool may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Hold the tool in front of you and be aware of the saw
chain position especially when cutting branches near the
ground.
u
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches and debris.
Ensure the exit route is clear of obstacles that would
prevent or hinder movement. Remember wet grass and
freshly cut bark is slippery.
u
Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall.
Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
including:
u
The intended direction of fall.
u
The natural lean of the branch.
u
Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u
Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
lines.
u
The wind speed and direction.
u
The safe distance between a branch to be felled and
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least
2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any bystander,
building or object within this distance is at risk from being
struck by the falling branch.
u
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the tool out of control.
u
Always wear suitable safety equipment such as non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, goggles, ear protection and gloves
when operating the tool.
u
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
of an accident.
u
Do not attempt to operate the tool when in a tree, on a
ladder or standing on any other unstable support.
u
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
u
Hold the tool firmly with both hands when the motor is
running.
u
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
u
Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of
the guide bar.
u
Keep your saw chain properly tensioned. Check tension
at regular intervals with the motor stopped and cord
disconnected.
u
Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at
full speed.
u
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
u
Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
Engage spikes on lower jaw into wood and allow the chain
to reach full speed before proceeding with cut.
u
Use of this tool for operation different to those intended
could result in hazardous situations. Cut wood only.
