General Safety

WARNING!

When using cordless yard tools, basic

safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the

risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the

following:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be

checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and

in correct working order.

2. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of

branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered

areas invite accidents.

3. Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use

power tools in damp or wet locations.

4. Do not use the pole chain saw in the rain.
5. Keep bystanders and children away –
All bystanders,

including children and pets, should be kept a safe

distance away from the work area.

6. Do not force the tool – It will do the job effectively and

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

7. Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any

attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were

not designed.

8. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught

in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves,

substantial non-skid footware and close-fitting clothing is

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

9. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.

10. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to

provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the

same protection as safety glasses.

11. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is

dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed

to filter out miscoscopic particles is recommended.

12. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

13. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean

for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories.

14. Disconnect tool – Turn off the power switch and remove

the battery when it is not in use, before servicing,

when transporting or when changing the chain or other

accessories.

15. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting – Make sure

the safety switch and the trigger switch are in the OFF

position before inserting the battery in the unit. Do not

carry the pole chain saw with the safety switch and the

trigger switch engaged.

16. Use recommended accessories – Consult the owner’s

manual for recommended accessories. The use of

improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

17. Check for damaged parts – Before each use, repair or

replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition,

check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that

may affect the tool's operation.

18. Never leave tool unattended while it is running – Turn

the power OFF by removing the battery from the unit.

Do not leave the saw until the cutting bar comes to a

complete stop.

19. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the pole

chain saw with your finger on the switch.

20. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting

edges when picking up or holding the saw – Be sure to

encase the cutting bar in its protective sheath when not

in use.

21. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the pole chain saw when you

are tired.

22. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, appliances

should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up

place out of the reach of children.
