SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Storage
1 . Store indoors. The best storage place is one that is cool and
dry away from direct sunlight, excess heat or cold and out of
the reach ofchildren.
2 . Always reduce the tension off the chain again after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If
tension is not reduced, it can damage thesaw.
Kickback Safety Features

WARNING: The following features are included on
your pole saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback;
however such features will not totally eliminate this
dangerous reaction. As a pole saw user do not rely only
on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions,
instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid
kickback and other forces which can result in seriousinjury.
• Reduced‑Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small
radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone
on bar tip. A reduced‑ kickback guide bar is one which has
been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and
seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with
safety requirements for electric chainsaws.
• Reduced Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth
gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually ride into the cutter. A reduced‑kickback
chain is a chain which has met kickback performance
requirements when tested on the representative sample of
chainsaws.
