Specific Safety Warnings
for Pole Chain Saw
m
WARNING!
SHOCK HAZARD! Do not operate near
electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to
provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact
with overhead electric lines. Consult local regulations for safe
distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that
the operating position is safe and secure before operating the
pole chain saw.
m
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the
work area.
2. Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.
3. Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw.
Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on the
trigger and the other hand on the pole.
4. Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the saw
chain is not in contact with any object.
5. Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with
grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts
6. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blades or
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. The blades or chain will continue
moving for a while after the tool is turned off. A moment
of inattention while operating the power tool may result in
serious personal injury.
7. Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will perform more effectively and safely if it is
used at the rate for which it was designed.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting a limb that is under
tension. When wood tension is released, the limb could
spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury
or death.
9. During transport, hold the pole at its balance point, with
the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
10. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain
saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and be
whipped towards the operator, which could pull the
operator off balance.
