GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The machine shall not be used in any position where it is liable to be within 15 m of the overhead electrical lines
of 33,000 V or more (normally wires suspended from steel towers) or 9 m in the case of overhead lines carrying
less than 33,000 V (normally wires suspended by wooden poles), unless the electricity suplier has been
approached for advice. (Fig. 1)
DANGER:
Serious injury or death from electrocution if power lines or electrical wires are contacted.
WARNING:
For safe operation, read and understand owners manual. Wear face shield (and/or safety glasses) and hard hat
to protect against falling debris. Always have a clear work area, retreat path, and be aware of limb/branch
location to avoid falling limbs and debris. Keep bystanders 50 feet (15 m) away when operating saw. Do not
expose to rain. Store Indoors. (Fig. 2 & 3)
WARNING:
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before installing the pruning
extension.
• Before using, check that the chain saw is securely attached to the pruning extension by bolt.
• Always use eye and head protections.
• Always clear the work area before operation.
• Never cut in an unstable posture (e.g., cutting from a ladder or tree).
• To avoid the risk of injury from falling branches, never stand directly under the branch being cut.
• A branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut, if you cut off a branch from the bottom.
Installing pruning extension on chain saw
Remove the battery cartridge and the hex wrench from the chain saw. Remove the battery cartridge while
pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge. (Fig. 4)
Insert the connector of the pruning extension into the chain saw. (Fig. 5)
Insert the securing bolt through the hole in the connector. Tighten the securing bolt with the hex wrench while
depressing the lock-off button. (Fig. 6)
After using the hex wrench, store it in the storage space in the pruning extension grip. (Fig. 7)
Switch action (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the pruning extension, always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the ''OFF'' position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidently pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress
the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Extension of shaft
Hold the joint firmly and turn the lock ring counterclockwise to loosen it. Then extend the shaft to the desired
length. (Fig. 9)
To secure the shaft, first align both arrows indicated on the joint and the connector. Then turn the lock ring
