WARNING!
Be certain that the chain is not in contact
with any object when you start the motor.
m
WARNING!
Always keep your hands on the handles,
away from the chain. Do not overreach.
A good, firm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain control. When using the pole chain saw, place one
hand on the front handle foam grip and the other hand on the
rear handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the pole
and handle. A firm grip combined with proper positioning of
the handle against your body will help you maintain control
of the saw. Do not let go of the pole chain saw while it is in
operation.
m
WARNING!
Do not operate the pole chain saw in a
tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold. Using the tool under such
circumstances is extremely dangerous.
m
CAUTION!
The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
Do not use the pole chain saw under wet conditions. Use
extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs
under tension because slender and tense material may catch
the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance, or
spring back.
Do not use the pole chain saw to cut vines and/or small
underbrush.
m
WARNING!
Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.
m
WARNING!
Do not operate near electrical wires.
m
WARNING!
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.
One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl oz (4 ml)
of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in
use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use.
When storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or
longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
m
WARNING!
Be aware of the cord while operating the
saw. Keep the cord away from the chain. Be careful not to trip
over the extension cord.
m
WARNING!
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 saw in the cut (Fig. 12). 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 saw is pinched
along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions
can cause loss of saw control, which can throw the operator
off balance and result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several precautions to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
1. Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily
checklist (see pg. 14).
2. Connect the electric pole chain saw to a working 120 V
outlet using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord.
3. Make a loop in the power cord and push it up through
the hole in the handle and around the cord restraint
hook (Fig. 13), then connect the extension cord to the
appliance cord.
4. To turn the tool ON, push and hold the safety lock button
(located on the rear handle) with your thumb and then
squeeze the trigger with your fingers. Once the tool is
running, you can release the safety lock button (Fig. 13).
