GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS 

 

• 

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the 
battery pack from the power tool before making any 

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power 

tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

 

• 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or 

these instructions to operate the power tool. 

Power 

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 

• 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or     
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 

other condition that may affect the power tool

s             

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired 

before use. 

Many accidents are caused by poorly            

maintained power tools.

 

• 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly                  

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 

likely to bind and are easier to control.

 

• 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in 
accordance with these instructions, taking into                    

account the working conditions and the work to be 

performed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

 

Battery tool use and care

 

• 

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.

 

• 

Use power tools only with specifically designated   
battery packs. 

Use of any other battery packs may              

create a risk of injury and fire.

 

• 

When 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.

 

• 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally  

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek 

medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns

 

Service

 

• 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 
person using only identical replacement parts. 

This 

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is                   

maintained.

 

• 

When servicing a power tool, use only identical                
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the                    

Maintenance section of this manual.

 Use of                           

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance                   

instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

saw with finger on switch, Be sure the switch is off when   

installing battery pack.

 

CAUTION: 

Never carry pole saw with one hand, Doing so 

could cause saw to become unbalanced and damage may 

occur. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious     

personal injury. 

 

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY: 

All visitors, children and pets 

should stay at a safe distance from the work area. 

 

STORE IDLE POLE SAW INDOORS: 

When not in use, the 

pole saw should be stored indoors in a dry and high or   

locked

up place, out of reach of children. 

 

DO NOT ATTEMPT 

to remove cut material or hold material to 

be cut when pole saw is on and the chain is moving. Make 

sure switch is off when clearing jammed material from the 

chain, Do not grasp the exposed cutting edges when picking 

up or holding the saw. Keep all parts of the body away from 

the saw chain.

 

 

CAUTION: 

Chain coasts after pole saw is turned off.

 

WARNING: 

To protect yourself from electrocution maintain a 

min of 50ft (15m) from overhead electrical likes. 

 

DO NOT FORCE POLE SAW—

It will do the job better and 

with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it 

was designed.
