IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read all of the instructions, safety information, etc.
contained in this manual thoroughly and understand them completely. Failure to comply may result
in accidents involving re, electric shock, or serious personal injury.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or cutting
with the chainsaw.
• Do not operate chainsaw in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
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.
• Polarized Plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will only t into a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• 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 14 is recommended for an extension cord 100’ (30 m) 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.
• Inspect extension cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by a licensed electrician.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock
or re.
• Wear snug tting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, overalls, jeans or chaps made of
cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear.
Wear non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands. Do not wear
jewellery, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose-tting clothing that could be
drawn into the motor or catch the chain or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
• Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke.
During weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early morning or late
afternoon hours, when temperatures are cooler.
• Wear eye protection that is marked to comply withANSI Z87.1 as well as hearing and head
protection when operating this equipment. Hearing protection should be worn.
• Always be aware of what you are doing when using the chainsaw. Use common sense. Do
not operate the chainsaw when you are tired, ill, or under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain.
• Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will only t into a
polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only t into the
polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• 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’ (15 m) 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 gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• 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 that 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 on 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 pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use for cutting non-wooden items.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free of 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' (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 the cutting attachment has stopped before setting the unit
down.
• Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Use only the replacement guide bars and low-kickback chains specied for the unit.
• Do not operate the saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders,
or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. This saw is
intended for two-handed use.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small brush and saplings, because slender material may
catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck
when tension in wood bers is released.
• To avoid accidental starting, never carry plugged in product with nger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
• Maintain product with care. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to
reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically, and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil
and grease.
