Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the chain saw when you are
tired. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the motor is operating. Before you start
the saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything.
9.
Disconnect the chain saw when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories and
attachments such as saw chain and guard.
10. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
chain saw, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center,
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
11. Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush
and sapling, as slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal-
ance. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
are specifically trained to do so. When cutting a limb
that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that
you will not be struck when the tension in the wood
fibers is released. Do not expose the chain saw to
rain. Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet loca-
tions. Do not use the chain saw in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
12. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in
the user manual safety and maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw per-
sonnel. Do not attempt to repair it yourself; there are
no user serviceable parts inside.
13. When not in use, chain saws should be stored out of
the reach of children, in a dry, high or locked-up
place. When storing saw, use a scabbard or carrying
case.
14. The chain saw will do a better and safer job when
used at the rate for which it was intended.
15. Use the right tool. Cut wood only. Do not use the
chain saw for purposes for which it was not intended.
For example, do not use the chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry, or non-building materials.
16. Use devices, such as low-kickback chain, guide bar
nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars,
which reduce the risks associated with kickback.
17. There are no other replacement components for
achieving kickback protection in accordance with
CSA Z62.3.
18 Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the trigger is released.
19. Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience.
20. Never remove, modify or make inoperative any safety
device furnished with your unit.
21. This saw is classified by CSA as a Class 2C saw. It is
intended for infrequent use by homeowner's, cot-
tagers and campers, and for such general applica-
tions such as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc.
It is not intended for prolonged use. If the intended
use involves prolonged periods of operation, this may
cause circulatory problems in the user's hands due to
vibration. It may be appropriate to use a saw having
an anti-vibration feature.
22. Safety clothing required by your safety organizations,
government regulations, or your employer should be
used; otherwise, snug fitting clothing, safety footwear,
and hand and ear protection should be worn.
Low-kickback saw chain is chain that has met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-
1991 and is in accordance with CSA Z62.3. Do not
use other replacement chain unless it has met these
requirements for your specific model.
23. Do not use any other cutting attachment or
accessories.
Use
only
original
manufacturer replacement parts and accessories,
which are designed specifically to enhance the
performance and maximize the safe operation of our
products. Failure to do so may cause poor
performance and possible injury. Use only the chain
and bar supplied with this product. Do not use any
other cutting attachment. Use of such attachments
will void your factory warranty and could result in
serious bodily injury.
24. Never touch the chain or attempt to service the saw
while the engine is running. Make sure all moving
parts have stopped. Allow the chain saw to cool, as
the chain can be hot.
25. Check the bar and chain at frequent intervals for
proper adjustment. Make sure the bar and chain are
properly tightened and sharpened. Visually inspect
for damage. Repair any damage before restarting or
operating the chain saw.
26. Do not cut near electrical cables or power lines.
27. Do not use the pole saw to fell a tree. Use a standard
chain saw for this application.
POLE SAW TRIMMING PRECAUTIONS
1.
Be aware of extension cord while operating chain
saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord away
from chain and operator at all times.
2. Keep bystanders 50 feet (15 meters) away when
operating saw.
3. Do not use the pole saw to cut down trees. Use the
chain saw without pole attachment.
4. Grip pole saw securely - one hand on the pole, the

6. Before starting pole saw, make sure chain is not
touching anything.
7. Keep all parts of body away from chain when saw is
running.
8. Do not force chain saw while cutting. Apply light pres-
sure. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
9. When cutting limbs or branches that are under ten-
sion, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood spring-
ing back. When wood tension is released, limb could
spring back and strike operator causing severe injury
or death.

unplug unit • return telescoping pole to shortest posi-
tion • hold pole at balance point (close to saw end) •

Always position yourself out of the path of falling
debris. (See Fig. 1A)
13. Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable
support while using the pole saw.
