11. Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming.
Always position yourself outside the path of falling debris.
12.
Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pole chain saw while
cutting. Do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than the
length of the guide bar.
13. Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of
the pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the
work area.
14. Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutting blade or chain may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting blades or chain contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the product “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
15. Carry the power tool by the handle with the cutting blade
or chain stopped. When transporting or storing the power
tool, always keep the blades or chain bar covered. Proper
handling of the pole chain saw will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutting blades or chain.
Battery Tool Use and Care
m
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 104°F (40.5°C) may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
8. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Cleaning the Tool
m
WARNING!
Never let any liquid get inside the motor
housing and NEVER immerse any part of the housing in liquid.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2. Clean dirt and debris from the body of the tool, using a
damp cloth with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle, as they can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents
such as kerosene.
Storage
m
WARNING!
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2. Clean the pole chain saw thoroughly before storing.
3. Always place the bar sheath on the chain bar before
storing or transporting the pole chain saw. Use caution to
avoid the sharp teeth of the blade and the chain.
4. Store the pole chain saw indoors, in a dry place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents
such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
5. We recommend using the original package for storage or
covering the product with a suitable cloth or enclosure to
protect it against dust.
Kickback
m
WARNING
! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip
of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes
in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
AVOID CONTACTING THE GUIDE BAR TIP WITH ANY
OBJECT. In some cases, when the tip makes contact with an
object, it may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the pole chain saw, which
could result in serious personal injury.
• Kickback safety devices on this pole chain saw include
a skip chain and a low kickback guide bar. These will
reduce, but not entirely prevent, kickbacks. Follow the
necessary precautions indicated in this operator's manual
to avoid kickbacks.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw,
one hand gripping the trigger and the other hand gripping
the pole. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around the trigger and the pole.
• Keep all guards in place on the pole chain saw. Make sure
they are in proper working order.
