Special safety instructions
For outdoor use only. Do not use in rainy weather.
Never stand directly under the branch you are
cutting, as it can fall without warning. Never
operate the saw at an angle over 60° in relation to
the ground. Beware of falling branches when using
the saw.
Watch your footing when using the saw. Sawn
branches on the ground represent a safety risk if
you trip over them while sawing.
The saw has an extensive reach. Ensure that you do
not accidentally cut power or telephone cables,
and always make sure there are no other people or
animals in the vicinity when starting or using the
saw.
Never lift the saw blade up to the area to be cut
while the chain is running.
Ensure there is sufficient chain oil in the tank and
that the chain is well lubricated.
Always wear a helmet, heavy-duty gloves and
protective glasses when using the saw.
Always hold the saw with both hands when in use.
Caution: the saw can vibrate very heavily, or kick
back when cutting with the end of the blade.
Always use protective gloves when handling the
blade. Never place your hand or fingers near the
chain while the saw is running.
Never allow the blade to be in contact with the
item to be cut - or other objects - when starting
the saw.
Never carry the saw around while the chain is
running.
Check that the branch to be cut does not contain
any metal objects that could damage the chain
and there are no other obstructions around the
branch that could damage the saw.
Check to see if the branch you are cutting might
get stuck in other branches, or if it may cause
damage to other objects when it falls.
Before you start:
Check chain (9) tension. You should be able to lift
it 1-2 mm from the blade (8) at the most.
Adjust chain tension using the screw (16) and
Allen key supplied. Turn the screw clockwise to
tighten the chain, and anticlockwise to slacken.
Slacken the length adjustment handle (2), and
adjust the telescopic pole to the desired length.
Re-tighten the handle.
Check there is sufficient chain oil in the tank.
