Operation

Electric shock hazard:
• This tool was tested to meet OSHA
1910.269 (dry test) when manufac-
tured. It must be properly cleaned
and maintained to ensure contin-
ued non-conductive properties.
When using this unit near energized
electrical lines, use only certified
non-conductive hoses and proper
personal protective equipment.
• Keep fiberglass extension clean
and dry when working around
energized electrical lines.
Accumulated oil or dirt reduces the
insulating properties of the tool.
Failure to observe these warnings
could result in severe injury or death.
Skin injection hazard:
• Do not use hands to check for leaks.
• Do not hold hose or couplers while
the hydraulic system is pressurized.
• Depressurize the hydraulic system
before servicing.
Oil under pressure easily punctures
skin causing serious injury, gangrene
or death. If you are injured by escap-
ing oil, seek medical attention
immediately.
Saw body, bar, blade and other
components will be hot during and
after use. Use care when handling the
saw. Hot surfaces can cause serious
burns.
