5. For safe operation
HANDLING FUEL
1. The engine of the ZENOAH product
is designed to run on a mixed fuel,
which contains highly flammable
gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or
refill the tank of the unit in any place
where there is a boiler, stove, wood
fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks,
or any other source of heat or fire
which might ignite the fuel.
2. Never smoke while operating the unit
or refilling its fuel tank.
3. When refilling the tank, always turn off
the engine and allow it to cool down.
Take a careful look around to make
sure that there are no sparks or open
flames anywhere nearby before refu-
eling.
4. Wipe spilled fuel completely using a
dry rag if any fuel spillage occurs
during refueling.
5. After refueling, screw the fuel cap
back tightly onto the fuel tank and then
carry the unit to a spot 3 m or more
away from where it was refueled be-
fore turning on the engine.
TRANSPORTATION
1. When you finish cutting in one location
and wish to continue work in another
spot, turn off the engine, lift up the unit
and carry it paying attention to the
blade.
2. Never forget to place the protective
cover over the blades.
3. When hand-carrying the product,
cover over the cutting attachment if
necessary, lift up the product and
carry it paying attention to the cutting
attachment.
4. Never transport the product over
rough roads over long distances by
vehicle without removing all fuel from
the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel might
leak from the tank during transport.
Kickback and Pinching Safety
Precautions
Beware of kickback!
Kickback can occur whenever the tip of
the guide bar touches an object while the
saw is operating. Kickback may force the
bar up and back toward the operator with
lightning-like speed!
Beware of pinching.
Pinching the saw along the tip of the
guide bar may force the bar back rap-
idly toward the operator. Pinching can
occur whenever wood closes in around
the moving chain.
WARNING
Both kickback and pinching may cause
you to lose control of the pole pruner
which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively on the
safety device built into the pruner! You
GB-6
must take several steps to keep your
jobs free from accident or injury:
1. Understand kickback and pinching!
You can reduce or eliminate the ele-
ment of surprise. Sudden surprises
contributes to accidents.
2. Keep a firm grip on the pole pruner
with both hands whenever the engine
is running. A firm grip will help you
reduce the affects of kickback and
pinching as well as maintain control
of the machine.
3. Make sure the area in which you are
cutting is free from obstructions. Do
not let the nose of the guide bar con-
tact a log, branch, or any other ob-
structions which could be hit while you
operation the pole pruner.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
for sharpening and maintaining the
chain.
6. Use only the replacement bar and
chain or equivalent as specified by
the manufacturer.
WARNING
• Make sure the chain and sprocket are
correctly adjusted before operating
the pruner (see page 9~10 for adjust-
ment procedures). Never attempt
chain adjustment with the engine run-
ning!
• Always make sure the cutting attach-
ment 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 saw chain should bind fast in a cut,
shut off the engine immediately. Push
the branch or tree to ease the bind
and free saw chain.
• Do not operate the pruner with the
muffler removed.
• When cutting a limb that is under ten-
sion, 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 be-
comes tangled. Do not operate with
broken or damaged equipment.
IMPORTANT
• Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions 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
