23. Store idle tool indoors – 

When not in use, appliances 

should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up 

place out of the reach of children.

m

WARNING!

 Some dust and debris created by the 

use of the tool could contain chemicals known to the State 

of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•  Chemicals in fertilizers
•  Compounds in insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides
•  Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, and 

depends on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 

your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with 

approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are 

specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Electrical Safety

1. 

Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should  

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for  

the electric pole + chain saw. Receptacles are available 

having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this  

measure of safety.

2. 

To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord 

suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, 

STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

  Before use, check that the extension cord is in good 

condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to 

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product 

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line 

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

3. 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has  

a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).  

Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or 

ETL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use.  

The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension 

 

cord only one way.

  If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension 

cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain 

a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension 

cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The 

extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet 

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall 

outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, 

contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall 

outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord 

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

WARNING! 

 

m

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or 

DEATH. Heed these warnings:

•  Do not allow any part of the electric pole + chain saw 

to make contact with water while it is in operation. If 

the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry 

before starting. 

•  Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord 

for outdoor, all-weather use.

•  Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
•  Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands 

or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots 

offers some protection.

4. 

To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the 

extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two 

cords as shown in Table 1.

5. 

Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the electric pole + chain 

saw by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the 

receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and  

sharp edges.
