IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
I. Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power
tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
II. Pole Saw Safety Warnings - Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions reduces personal injuries. Use of
rubber gloves is recommended.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the O
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
