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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Before using
1. Study this manual thoroughly.
2. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the pole chain
saw and learn to use it properly.
3. Never permit others (especially children) who have not
read the manual to use the machine.
4. If the unit must be given to other people, give them
this manual.
5. Never remove the labels or security elements.
6.
Do not use the pole chain saw if the trigger on/off switch
does not work properly. If necessary, contact your dealer
for any repair.
7. Never expose the pole chain saw to rain or moisture.
Never allow water or other liquids to enter the machine.
8. Check the oil level before each use of the pole chain saw.
Never use the pole chain saw without oil in the tank or
when the amount of oil is low.
9. Check the condition of the chain guide, chain, fasteners
and safety switch before each use. Replace excessively
worn or missing parts.
10.
Do not start the pole chain saw if the chain/sprocket end
cover is not installed.
11. Do not cut near other electrical machines.
12. Do not operate the pole chain saw in an environment with
flammable materials such as liquids, gases or dust.
The sparks generated by the operation of the machine can
cause an explosion.
13. Do not start cutting until the work area is cleared and
cleaned. Keep the work area clean and tidy to reduce the
risk of an accident.
14.
For the first use, it is recommended that the user be
accompanied by an experienced person.
15. Keep all parts of the body away from the pole chain saw.
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, as the chain saw continues
to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of
inattention while operating the pole chain saw may result
in serious personal injury.
16. Carry the pole chain saw by the handle with the unit
turned off. When transporting or storing the pole chain
saw, always use the chain saw cover. Proper handling of
the pole chain saw will reduce possible personal injury.
17. Hold the pole chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the chain saw may contact hidden wiring.
A chain saw contacting a ″live″ wire may make exposed
metal parts of the pole chain saw ″live″ and could give the
operator an electric shock.
18. Do not use the pole chain saw in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
19. Always use head protection when operating the pole chain
saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal
injury.
When using
1. Use the pole chain saw only in daylight or good
artificial light.
2. The use of power equipment can be regulated. Remember
to comply with legal regulations which may differ from one
location to another.
3. Do not use the pole chain saw if you are tired or ill.
Also avoid use if you have consumed alcohol or taken
drugs. A moment of inattention can result in serious injury.
4. When using, keep your hair away from the machine.
Never wear loose clothing or accessories such as
neckties, cords, scarves or jewelry that could get caught
in the machine or in the cutting system.
5.
Wear close-fitting clothing to help protect you from cuts.
Always wear long pants, sturdy non-slip shoes and
protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, a helmet
with a visor and an acoustic shield.
6. Do not allow anyone to remain in the range of the pole
chain saw during use. Keep people, children and animals
away from the work area. If conducting group work,
keep sufficient distance between people.
7. Make sure that the handles are clean and dry. When the
pole chain saw is running, always firmly grip the front
handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your
right hand.
8.
Always maintain a stable, balanced and firm stance during
operation. Do not work on slippery or unstable ground.
9. Firmly hold the pole chain saw with both hands.
Put yourself in a position that allows you to withstand the
forces applied by a backlash. Never let go of the machine.
10. Always start sawing with the moving chain running.
11. Do not saw with the tip of the saw guide bar.
12. During cutting, some tension on the wood may be
released suddenly and cause springbacks or hazardous
releases.
13. Never use the pole chain saw above shoulder height
when cutting.
14. Never operate a damaged machine.
15. Do not overload the machine.
