6. Dress Properly when operating Pole

-
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that
can get caught in the moving blades or
parts of the Pole Trimmer.
-
Always wear rubber gloves and substantial
foot wear when working outside.
-
Always wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
-
Always wear a face or dust mask if opera-
tion is dusty.
7. Always wear eye protection.
8. Use only electrical voltage noted on model
name-plate on Pole Trimmer.
Extension Cord: Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
Pole Trimmer will draw. An under sized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
9. Your power tool is not insulated against
electric shock. To reduce the risk of elec-
trocution, never operate this power tool in
the vicinity of any wires or cables (power,
etc.) which may be carrying electric cur-
rent. Electricity can jump from one point
to another by means of arcing. Higher
voltage increases the distance electricity
can arc. Electricity can also move through
branches, especially if they are wet. Main-
tain a clearance of at least 50 feet (15
m) between the pole trimmer (including
any branches it is contacting) and any
electrical line carrying live current. Before
working with less clearance, contact your
electric utility and make sure the current
is turned off.
10. This power tool has a large range. In order
to reduce the risk of personal or even fatal
injury to bystanders from falling objects or
inadvertent contact with the moving blades
of your power tool always keep bystand-
ers at least 50 feet (15 m) away when the
power tool is running.
