SAFETY RULES
• Hold the pole saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the pole saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power lines. Contact with or
use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the pole saw overhead. Falling debris can result
in serious personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.

This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this pole saw. Children who are 14 years
of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this
manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the pole saw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the wrong area.
