Pole Chainsaw
Safety
General Safety
•WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or Battery-operated
power tool.
•Work area safety
−Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
−Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
−Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
•Electrical safety
−Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
−Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
−Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
−Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
−When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
−If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. NOTE: The term “residual current
device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
•Personal safety
−Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
−Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
−Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
−Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
−Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

−Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
−If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•Power tool use and care
−Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
−Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
−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, additionally 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.
•Storage
−Use of transport guard during transport and storage
−Cleaning and maintenance before storage
−Securing of the unit during transport to prevent loss of fuel, damage or injury

Trimming Safety
•
Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming. Always
position yourself out of the path of falling debris.
•
Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable support while
using the Pole saw.
•
Always use both hands to operate pole saw. Keep a firm, steady
pressure on the pole saw while cutting but do not try to force the
saw through the wood.
•
Do not use the pole saw to cut limbs larger in diameter than the
length of the guide bar.
•
Keep other persons away from cutting end of pole saw and at a
safe distance from work area.
•
Do not use pole saw near cable, electric power or telephone lines.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet from all power lines.

Battery Charging Safety
•Before attempting to charge the battery pack, thoroughly read all Safety Instructions.
•The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
that were easily done before.
•The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
•NOTE: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity.
•Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4ºC or above 40ºC (below 40ºF or above
104ºF).
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES:
•After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in about 4 hours. Allow the battery to cool
down before charging after using the saw. (NOTE: A hot battery placed in the charger will not charge)
•DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4 °C) or above 104°F (40 °C). This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
•While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not
indicate a problem.
•If the battery pack does not charge properly
−Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
−Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
−Move charger and battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4°C) to 104°F (40°C)
−If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging contact (DESA Power
Tools) service centre.
•The battery pack need to be charged before first using and should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using this product with its
battery pack in a depleted condition. (NOTE: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity.)
•To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charger for extended periods of time (over 30 days
without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.
•The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is
no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of
discharging and recharging the batteries.
