sharpening and maintaining the chain.
6. Use only the replacement bar and chain or
equivalent as specified by the manufacturer.
• Make sure the chain and sprocket are correctly
adjusted before operating the pruner (see page
24, 26 for adjustment procedures). Never attempt
chain adjustment with the engine running!
• Always make sure the cutting attachment is
properly installed and firmly tightened before
operation.
• Never use a cracked or warped guide bar:
replace it with a serviceable one and make sure
it fits properly.
• If a saw blade should bind fast in a cut, shut off
the engine immediately. Push the branch or tree
to ease the bind and free the blade.
• Do not operate the pole pruner with the muffler
removed.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for springback so that you will not be struck
by the moving limb.
• Always stop the engine immediately and check
for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the
machine becomes tangled. Do not operate with
broken or damaged equipment.
• Do not make unauthorized modifications or
substitutions to the guide bar or chain.
• Never allow the engine to run at high RPM without a
load. Doing so could damage the engine.
• Keep the pruner as clean as possible. Keep it free of
loose vegetation, mud, etc.
