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.

manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

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
