WARNING!
When using cordless yard tools, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the
following:
1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be
checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and
in correct working order.
2. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of
branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered
areas invite accidents.
3. Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations.
4. Do not use the pole chain saw in the rain.
5. Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders,
including children and pets, should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.
6. Do not force the tool – It will do the job effectively and
safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.
7. Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any
attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were
not designed.
8. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of
clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught
in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves,
substantial non-skid footware and close-fitting clothing is
recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

9. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.
10. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to
provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the
same protection as safety glasses.
11. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is
dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed
to filter out miscoscopic particles is recommended.
12. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
13. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
14. Disconnect tool – Turn off the power switch and remove
the battery when it is not in use, before servicing, when
transporting or when changing the chain or
other accessories.
15. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting – Make sure
the safety switch and the trigger switch are in the OFF
position before inserting the battery in the unit. Do not
carry the pole chain saw with the safety switch and the
trigger switch engaged.
16. Use recommended accessories – Consult the owner's
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
17. Check for damaged parts – Before each use, repair or
replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition,
check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that
may affect the tool's operation.
18. Never leave tool unattended while it is running – Turn
the power OFF by removing the battery from the unit.
Do not leave the saw until the cutting bar comes to a
complete stop.
19. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the pole
chain saw with your finger on the switch.
20. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the saw – Be sure to
encase the cutting bar in its protective sheath when not
in use.
21. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the pole chain saw when you
are tired.
22. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, appliances
should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up
place out of the reach of children.
