Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the product or to disconnect the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. A wire gauge
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for
an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
WARNING:
Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)
to be used for the product. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection and
may be used for this measure of safety.
DANGER — Keep hands away from blade.
Contact with blade will result in serious personal
injury.
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead
to serious injury. Kickback may occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the chain in the
cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of
the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into
the object and stop the chain for an instant.
The result is a lightning-fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. If the chain is pinched along the
top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator, which can
cause loss of control and may result in serious
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into the product.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Use lopper for cutting wood only. Do not use
for cutting non-wood items.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting
is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of
the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or
any other obstruction while you are operating
the unit. Have a planned retreat path.
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or
cutting edges when picking up or holding the
product.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not
operate within 50 feet of overhead electrical
lines.
Before starting the motor, make sure the chain
is not contacting any object.
Do not operate the lopper if either the upper or
lower guards are broken, cracked, missing, or
damaged in any way.
To protect yourself from falling branches, do not
stand directly under the branch or limb being
cut. This unit should not be held at an angle over
60° from ground level.
Keep unit clean of clippings and other materials.
They may become lodged between the jaw and
blade.
Turn off the motor and make sure cutting
attachment has stopped before setting unit
down.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the unit.
