Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures. These conditions can be min -
imized with the following steps:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en -
circling the pole saw handles. Both hands should
be on the saw with your body and arms in a posi-
tion to resist kickback forces.
2. Do not overreach and keep the work area free
from obstructions.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified
for this product. Replace dull blades as necessary.
4. Do not let the tip of the guide bar contact any
surfaces.
5. Keep proper tension on the blade at all times.
Check the tension at regular intervals. Remove
the battery from the tool before making any ad -
justments to the blade or the tool.
6. Cuts should only take place while the chain is
moving at full speed. Do not turn the saw ON or
OFF in the middle of a cut. Use extreme caution
when re-entering a previous cut.
7. Cut one branch at a time. Do not attempt plunge
or bore cuts. Watch for shifting logs or other ex -
ternal forces that could close a cut and pinch the
chain.
8. Make a precut on the opposite side of the log to
avoid the blade from being pinched during opera-
tion as another safeguard against kickback.
SAWING TECHNIQUES
WARNING: When removing branches, hold the
pole saw at an angle ranging from 0° to 60° in
order to avoid being struck by a falling branch.
The saw should never be operated directly above
head.
Saw off the lower branches on the tree first. By do -
ing so, it is easier for the cut branches to fall to the
ground.
ƒ
At the end of the cut, the weight of the saw sud -
denly increases for the user since it is no longer
being supported by a branch. There is a risk of los -
ing control of the saw, so make sure to stay alert
during the entire sawing operation.
ƒ
Only pull the saw out of a cut while the saw is run-
ning. By doing so, you prevent the chain from jam -
ming in the wood.
ƒ
Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. Do not
saw into the branch formations (where the tree
branches outwards). This will impede the tree’s
ability to heal.
ƒ
For sawing off smaller branches, place the stop
face of the saw on the branch. This prevents un -
wanted movements of the saw at the beginning
of the cut. While applying light pressure, guide the
saw through the branch from top to bottom.
ƒ
For sawing off larger branches, first make a relief
cut. Saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from
the bottom to top using the top side of the guide
bar. Then saw from top to bottom for the other
2/3 using the bottom side of the guide bar. Saw
off longer branches in sections in order to main -
tain control over the location of impact.
