SAFETY INFORMATION

2

•  SAFETY AND INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS  •

This operator's manual describes safety and international symbols and pictographs that
may appear on this product. Read the operator's manual for complete safety, assembly,
operating, maintenance and repair information.

• SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

Indicates danger, warning or caution. May be used in conjunction with other
symbols or pictographs.

• READ OPERATOR'S MANUAL

WARNING:

Read the operator’s manual(s) and follow all warnings

and safety instructions. Failure to do so can result in serious injury to the operator
and/or bystanders.

• WEAR HEAD, EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION

WARNING:

Thrown objects and loud noise can cause severe eye

injury and hearing loss. Wear eye protection meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989
standards and ear protection when operating this unit. Wear head protection
when operating this unit; falling objects can cause severe head injury. Use a
full face shield when needed.

SYMBOL

MEANING

• WEAR SAFETY FOOTWEAR

Wear non-slip safety footwear when using this equipment.

• WEAR SAFETY GLOVES

Wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves when handling the unit.

• DO NOT USE IN THE RAIN 

WARNING:

Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate your

unit in the rain, or in damp or wet conditions. Moisture is a shock hazard.

• KICKBACK WARNING

Contact of the guide bar tip with any object should be avoided. Tip contact
may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which
may cause serious injury.

• KEEP BYSTANDERS AWAY

WARNING:

Keep all bystanders, especially children and pets, at

least 50 feet (15 m) from the operating area. If anyone enters the work area, stop
the unit!

• POWER LINES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY 

WARNING:

Do not operate this unit near power lines. Contact

with a power line may cause serious injury or damage to the unit. Maintain a
clearance of at least 50 feet (15 m) between the pole saw (including any
branches it is contacting) and any electrical line.

• If using wedges, only use wedges made of plastic or wood. Do not use metal to hold a cut open.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent. 
• Use devices, such as low-kickback chains, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars,

which reduce the risks associated with kickback. There are no other replacement components for
achieving kickback protection in accordance with CSA Z62.3.

• Low-kickback saw chain is chain that has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-1991

and is in accordance with CSA Z62.3. Do not use other replacement chain unless it has met these
requirements for the specific model. As saw chains are sharpened, some of the low kickback qualities are
lost and extra caution should be used.

OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT

operate the unit with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers or bystanders may result

from one-handed operation. This unit is intended for two-handed use.

DO NOT

handle the unit with wet hands.

DO NOT

operate a pole saw in a tree or on a ladder unless specifically trained to do so. 

DO NOT

expose the unit to rain. Do not use the unit in damp or wet locations or conditions.

DO NOT

operate the unit on wet surfaces.

DO NOT

use the unit in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. 

DO NOT

operate a unit that is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and securely assembled.

Be sure that the unit stops when the trigger is released. Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn the
unit on and off properly or if the switch lock does not work. 

DO NOT

attempt operations beyond the operator’s capacity or experience.

DO NOT

cut near electrical cables or power lines.

DO NOT

force the pole saw, especially near the end of a cut. It will do a better, safer job when used at

the intended rate.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with grounded conductors, such as metal pipes

or wire fences.

• Keep all body parts away from the saw chain when the motor is operating. Before starting the saw, make

sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. 

• Always stop the motor when operation is delayed, before setting down the unit or when walking from one

location to another. Make sure the chain comes to a complete stop.

• To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with fingers on the switch trigger. 
• Always carry the pole saw with the battery removed, finger off the switch trigger and the guide bar and saw

chain sheathed in the scabbard and positioned to the rear. 

• Always make sure the lock-off button is in the locked or OFF position before installing or removing the battery. 
• Cut wood only. Do not use the pole saw for purposes for which it was not intended.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back, which may cause the operator to

be struck when the tension of the wood fibers is released.

• Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and saplings, as slender material may catch the

saw chain and be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator off balance. 

• This unit is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers and campers, and for general

applications such as limbing, pruning, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. If the intended use
involves prolonged periods of operation, this may cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due
to vibration. It may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-vibration feature.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE SAFETY

DO NOT

perform maintenance procedures other than those described in this manual. Do not

attempt to repair; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• Follow all maintenance instructions in this manual.
• Before inspecting, servicing, cleaning, storing, transporting or replacing any parts on the unit:

1. Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
2. Allow the unit to cool.
3. Make sure the lock-off button is in the locked or OFF position.
4. Remove the battery.

• Never remove, modify or make inoperative any safety device furnished with the unit.
• For safer, more effective performance, make sure the bar and chain are properly cleaned, lubricated,

tightened and sharpened. Check the bar and chain at frequent intervals for proper adjustment. 

• Frequently inspect the unit for damage. Before further use, any damaged part should be carefully checked

to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Damaged parts should be properly repaired or replaced. 

• Use only original manufacturer replacement parts and accessories, which are designed specifically to

enhance the performance and maximize the safe operation of the product. Failure to do so may cause
poor performance and possible injury. Use only the chain and guide bar supplied with this product.

• Remove the battery from the unit when not in use.
• Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
• Always use the scabbard on the bar and chain during transportation and storage.
• When not in use, store the unit in a locked-up and dry, or high and dry, place to prevent unauthorized use

or damage. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Keep the handle and grip dry, clean and free from debris, oil and grease. Clean the unit after each use.

Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Do not use solvents or strong detergents. 

• If dropped in water, do not use the unit.

• USE BOTH HANDS

Always use both hands while operating the pole saw. Never use only one
hand to operate the unit.
