GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to product safety rules. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury!
1. Use the pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use this tool for cutting plastic, masonry, etc.
2. Keep the cable away from the cutting area. When working with the tool, make sure to keep the blade away from
any extension cords or wiring.
3. Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain while the saw is running. Before starting the saw, make sure the
chain is not touching any objects
4. Always hold the pole saw with your right hand at the rear handle and your left hand at the front handle. Holding
the chain saw differently (left hand on rear handle, right hand on front handle) may affect the balance of the saw
and will increase the risk of injury.
5. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal protection equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended.
6. Do not operate the saw while sitting or standing in a tree. Make sure to have a safe stance at all time. Only use the
saw when standing on solid, safe and level ground.
7. When cutting a branch that is under tension, take into account that the branch may spring back.
8. Use particular caution when cutting brush and young trees. The thin material may get caught in the chain and hit
you or throw you off balance.
