■ HANDLING FUEL
1. The engine of the RedMax product is
designed to run on a mixed fuel which
contains highly flammable gasoline. Never
store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the
unit in any place where there is a boiler,
stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding
sparks, or any other source of heat or fire
which might ignite the fuel.
2. Never smoke while operating the unit or
refilling its fuel tank.
3. When refilling the tank, always turn off the
engine and allow it to cool down. Take a
careful look around to make sure that there
are no sparks or open flames anywhere
nearby before refueling.
(1) Refill after cooling the engine.
4. Wipe spilled fuel completely using a dry
rag if any fuel spillage occurs during
refueling.
5. After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the
unit to a spot 10 feet or more away from
where it was refueled before turning on the
engine.
■ TRANSPORTATION
1. Never transport the pruner nor set it down
with the engine running. An engine that's
running could be accidently accelerated
causing the chain to rotate.
2. Make sure the scabbard is in place when
transporting the pruner.
3. When carrying by hand, the chain should
be pointing backward.
4. Never transport the product over rough
roads over long distances by vehicle
without removing all fuel from the fuel tank.
If doing so, fuel might leak from the tank
during transport.
■ KICKBACK AND PINCHING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Beware of kickback!
Kickback can occur whenever the tip of the
guide bar touches an object while the saw is
operating. Kickback may force the bar up and
back toward the operator with lightning-like
speed!
Beware of pinching.
Pinching the saw along the tip of the guide
bar may force the bar back rapidly toward the
operator. Pinching can occur whenever wood
closes in around the moving chain.
WARNING
Both kickback and pinching may cause
you to lose control of the pole pruner
which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively on the
safety device built into the pruner! You
must take several steps to keep your jobs
free from accident or injury:
1. Understand kickback and pinching! You
can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprises contributes to
accidents.
2. Keep a firm grip on the pole pruner with
both hands whenever the engine is
running. A firm grip will help you reduce
the affects of kickback and pinching as well
as maintain control of the machine.
3. Make sure the area in which you are
cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let
the nose of the guide bar contact a log,
branch, or any other obstructions which
could be hit while you operation the pole
pruner.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintaining the chain.
6. Use only the replacement bar and chain or
equivalent as specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING
• Make sure the chain and sprocket are
correctly adjusted before operating the
pruner (see page 9 for adjustment
procedures). Never attempt chain
adjustment with the engine running!
• Always make sure the cutting
attachment is properly installed and
firmly tightened before operation.
