IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Hydraulic oil could cause skin irritation.
• Handle the tool and hoses with care to prevent
skin contact with hydraulic oil.
• In case of accidental skin contact with hydraulic
oil, wash the affected area immediately to remove
the oil.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury.
Vibration hazard:
Apply just enough pressure to do the work. Applying
excess pressure to the tool can cause operator dis-
comfort or temporary numbness.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury.

Long-Reach Chain Saws
• Check the operation of the automatic oiler
frequently. See Checking and Setting the Automatic
Chain Oiler in this manual.
• Check the chain frequently for proper tension and
sharpness. Tension and sharpen as necessary.
See the instructions under Saw Chain and Bar
Maintenance.
• Check the fluid level of the power source reservoir
frequently. The automatic oiler uses hydraulic fluid
to lubricate the bar and chain, and will cause the
fluid level to drop.
Procedure for disconnecting hydraulic hoses, fittings
or components:
1. Move the flow lever on the hydraulic power
source to the OFF position.
2. Stop the power source.
3. Follow the sequence under Disconnecting Hoses
to prevent pressure buildup. In case some pres-
sure has built up, loosen hoses, fittings or com-
ponents slowly.
Emergency stop procedure:
1. Release the trigger.
2. Shut off the hydraulic power source.
Note: Keep decals clean and legible. Replace decals
when necessary.
