WARNING!

 When using the power tool, basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of 

fire, electric shock, and personal injury. These include:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be 

checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and 

in correct working order.

2. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of 

branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered 

areas invite accidents.

3.  Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use 

power tools in damp or wet locations.

4.  Do not use the pole chain saw in the rain – Do not use 

the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when 

there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being 

struck by lightning.

5.  Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders, 

including children and pets, should be kept a safe 

distance away from the work area.

6.  Do not force the tool – 

It will do the job effectively and 

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed. 

7.  Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any 

attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were  

not designed. 

8. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of 

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught 

in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves, 

substantial non-skid footwear and close-fitting clothing is 

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

9.  Always use head protection when operating the pole chain 

saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal 

injury. 

10. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to 

provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses 

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the 

same protection as safety glasses.

11. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is 

dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed 

to filter out microscopic particles is recommended.

12. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance  

at all times.

13. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean 

for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for 

lubricating and changing accessories. 

14. Disconnect tool – 

Turn off the power switch and remove 

the battery when it is not in use, before servicing, when 

transporting or when changing the chain or  

other accessories.

15. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting – Make sure 

the safety lock button and the On/Off switch are in the 

OFF position before inserting the battery in the unit. Do 

not carry the pole chain saw with the safety lock button 

and the On/Off switch engaged.

16. Use recommended accessories – Consult the owner’s 

manual for recommended accessories. The use of 

improper accessories may cause risk of injury. 

17. Check for damaged parts – Before each use, repair or 

replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition, 

check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that 

may affect the tool's operation.

18. Never leave tool unattended while it is running – Turn 

the power OFF and remove the battery from the unit. 

Do not leave the saw until the cutting bar comes to a 

complete stop.

19. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting 

edges when picking up or holding the saw – Be sure  

to encase the cutting bar in its protective sheath when  

not in use.

20. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the pole chain saw when you  

are tired.
