• Always wear proper eye protection with side
shields, marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
operating the pruning saw. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
• Do not overreach. Do not cut above shoulder
height. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the prun-
ing saw only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the pruning saw.
• Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a lad-
der, rooftop, or scaffold unless properly trained.
To avoid death or serious injury, operator must be
trained in safe climbing techniques and in the use
of all appropriate safety equipment.
• Do not allow familiarity with this product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
• Hold the pruning saw with your right hand on the
trigger handle and your left hand on the body
grip. Holding the pruning saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury.
• During operations where it is necessary to
use one hand, such as to steady or control the
workpiece/branch, guide workpiece away from
you, or provide better visibility to the work area:
• Keep free hand clear of the chain and out of the
cutting path.
• Maintain a firm grip on the branch being cut to
avoid "skating" or "bouncing" of the saw.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Do not cross arms or overreach.
• Always cut away from yourself.
• Avoid excess flexing or tension on the branch
being cut.
• Never allow any part of your body to be in line with
the guide bar when operating the pruning saw.
• Never operate while in any awkward position
or on an other unstable surface. You may lose
control of saw causing severe injury.
• Making a cut that has a diameter greater than
the saw's cutting capacity requires advanced
techniques and should only be performed by
properly trained professionals. Performing these
types of cuts can cause an accident and result
in death or serious personal injury.
• Keep the pruning saw running at full speed the
entire time you are cutting.
• Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light
pressure. Do not put pressure on pruning saw
at end of cut.
• Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of
attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
Tethering
Tethering with energy absorbing lanyards only. Only
attach the tether to lanyard loop. Do not attach the
tether to handle, guide bar cover, or any other point
on the tool.
Kickback may occur
WARNING
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 sudden 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 saw which could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a pruning saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sud-
den surprise contributes to accidents.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Maintain a firm grip on the pruning
saw and position your body and
arm(s) to allow you to resist kick-
back forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go
of the pruning saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the pruning saw in
unexpected situations.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting
is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of
the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any
other obstruction that could be hit while you are
operating the saw.
• Always cut with the unit running at full speed.
Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain
a steady cutting speed.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment guide bars and saw chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the pruning saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected actuation of the pruning
saw while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
