WHILE OPERATING PRUNING SAW
Stay alert. Use common sense while operating the unit.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Be aware of extension cord while operating Pruning Saw. Be careful not to trip over cord.
Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times.
Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from Pruning Saw and extension cord.
Only Pruning Saw user should be in work area.
Do not use the Pruning Saw to cut down trees.
Do not use near power lines. Keep at least 10 feet away from Electrical lines.
Grip Pruning Saw securely—one hand on the trigger, the other on the pole.
Before starting Pruning Saw, make sure chain is not touching anything.
Avoid objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
Keep all parts of body away from Chain when Pruning Saw is running.
Do not force Pruning Saw while cutting. Apply light pressure. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was intended.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Beware of wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
Do not cut small brush and saplings with the Pruning Saw.
Slender matter could catch in the chain and be whipped towards you. This could also pull
you off balance.
Carrying and transporting the Pruning Saw :
- With unit unplugged
- By holding pole at balance point (close to saw end)
- With guide bar and chain to rear
KICKBACK
WARNING:
Kickback effect may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the Pruning Saw which could
result in serious injury to the operator.
Kickback Safety Devices on the product:
This Pruning Saw has a skip chain and low kickback guide bar.
