WARNING!
Do not operate the electric pole + chain
saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold. Using the tool
under such circumstances is extremely dangerous.
m
CAUTION!
The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
Do not use the electric pole + chain saw under wet conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings,
or limbs under tension because slender and tense material
may catch the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off
balance, or spring back.
Do not use the electric pole + chain saw to cut vines and/or
small underbrush.
m
WARNING!
Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.
m
WARNING!
Do not cut trees near electrical wires.
m
WARNING!
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.
One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl oz.
(4 ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in
use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use.
When storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or
longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
m
WARNING!
Be aware of the cord while operating the
saw. Keep the cord away from the chain. Be careful not to trip
over the extension cord.
1. Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily
checklist (see pg. 17).
2. Connect the electric pole + chain saw to a working 120 V
outlet using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord.
3. Push the appliance cord through the first two slots of
the extension cord restraint hook, push the extension
cord through the remain two slots of the extension cord
restraint hook (Fig. 18). Then connect the cords.
