•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). Polarized plugs require
polarized extension cords. The plug fits into the extension cord
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain another
polarized extension cord. Polarized extension cords require
polarized wall outlets. The extension cord fits into the wall outlet
only one way. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the extension cord still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
•
This is a double-insulated unit. Two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. There is no grounding provided
and no means of grounding should be added to the unit.
Servicing a double-insulated unit requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system. Service should only be performed by
authorized service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Failure
to have a double-insulated unit repaired by an authorized service
technician with identical replacement parts could result in
serious injury.
•
Since the unit is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension cord (one
without a ground) may be used. However, a 3-wire extension
cord (one with a ground) that uses a NEMA-type connector
(parallel blade, U ground) is recommended.

WHILE OPERATING
•
Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet current ANSI / ISEA
Z87.1 standards and are marked as such. Wear ear/hearing
protection when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Use a hard hat or other type of
safety helmet.
•
Wear safety boots and protective gloves. Wear heavy, snug-
fitting clothes, including long pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Do
not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals or go
barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level.
•
Make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything before
starting the unit.
•
Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.
•
Avoid accidental starting. The operator and unit must be in a
stable position while starting. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
•
Use the right tool. Only use this tool for its intended purpose: to
cut wood. Do not use the unit for cutting plastic, masonry or
other non-wood building materials. Only use the unit as
described in this manual.
•
Keep all body parts away from the saw chain when the unit is
running. Do not touch or try to stop moving parts.
•
Do not force the unit, especially near the end of a cut. It will do a
better, safer job when used at the intended rate.
•
Always turn the unit off when operation is delayed, when setting
the unit down or when carrying the unit from one location to
another. Make sure all moving parts come to a complete stop.
•
Carry the unit by the front handle, away from the body, and with
the guide bar positioned to the rear. Cover the guide bar and
saw chain with the scabbard when carrying the unit.
•
If the unit strikes or becomes entangled with a foreign object,
stop the motor immediately, disconnect the unit from the power
source and allow the unit to cool. Then, check for damage. If
damaged, do not restart or operate the unit until it is repaired.
Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts.
•
Use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement
parts and accessories for this unit. These are available from your
authorized service dealer. Use of any other parts or accessories
could lead to serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit,
and void the warranty.
•
Keep the unit clean. Carefully remove vegetation and other
debris that could block moving parts.
•
If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor
immediately, disconnect the unit from the power source and
allow the unit to cool. Then, inspect the unit for the cause of the
vibration. Vibration is generally an indicator of trouble.
•
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not
start cutting until the work area is clear and free from
obstructions. Make sure there is secure footing and a planned
retreat path from falling trees or branches.
•
Do not cut near electrical cables or power lines. Keep at least 50
feet (15 m) away from all power lines.
•
For safer, more effective performance, make sure the guide bar
and chain are properly cleaned, lubricated, tightened and
sharpened. Check the guide bar and chain at frequent intervals
for proper adjustment.
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension, use extreme caution.
When the tension is released, the limb could spring back and
strike the operator, causing severe injury or death.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and
saplings, as slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward the operator or pull the operator off balance.
