Vibration Hazard
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
appliance. If you feel any symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as
soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration
effects on the user.
4. Use appliances with the lowest vibration when
there is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip appliance as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of it).
Let the appliance do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the appliance
as explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
Pole Saw Safety
1. Keep all parts of the body away from saw
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when saw chain is moving.
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.
2. Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw
chain stopped.
When transporting or storing
the pole saw, always fit the saw chain device
cover. Proper handling of the pole saw will
reduce possible personal injury from the saw
chain.
3. Hold Pole Saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
pole sw “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
4. 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.
5. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use near any electrical power lines.
Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious
injury or electric shock resulting in death.
6. Always use two hands when operating the pole
saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
7. Always use head protection when operating
the pole saw overhead. Falling debris can result
in serious personal injury.
8. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
9. Do not touch guide bar tip to any object.
Tip contact may cause guide bar to move
suddenly upward and backwards.
10. Do not operate Pole Saw from within a tree.
Operation of tool while up in a tree may result
in personal injury.
11. Keep proper footing and operate the garden
power tool only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the garden power tool.
12. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back.
When the tension in the
wood fibers is released, the limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the tool out of control.
13. Do not use for bore cutting, felling or bucking.
14. Keep bystanders and other workers at least
50 feet from the work area.
15. Do not operate within 50 feet of electrical
lines.
