POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
•Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to
provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric
lines. Consult local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power
lines and ensure that the operating position is safe and secure before operating the pole
saw.
•Use pole saw 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.
•Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is
turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole saw may result in serious
personal injury.
•Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting
the pole saw will reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.
•Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the pole saw “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
•Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in
shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
•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.
•Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold the pole saw with both
hands to avoid loss of control.
•Always use head protection when operating the pole saw overhead. Falling debris
can result in serious personal injury.
•Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or
holding the product.
•To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 50’ (15 m) of
overhead electrical lines.
•Before starting the motor, make sure the chain is not contacting any object.
•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.
•Turn off the motor and make sure cutting attachment has stopped before setting
unit down.
•Do not operate the saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
bystanders, or any combination of these persons may results from one hand
operation. This saw intended for two-handed use.
•Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and saplings because slender

SAFETY RULES
W A R N I N G (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead-based paints
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are speciall
particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
•Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
•Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this polesaw. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
•Stay alert, and turn the polesaw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
•Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the polesaw.
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 saw 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 saw chain 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
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As
a polesaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
•Maintain a grip, with thumbs and encircling the polesaw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go
of the polesaw.
•Only use replacement bars and chains by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
•Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
•Push and Pull — This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where
contact is made with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar, and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
