surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of
the pruning saw.
g) This pruning saw is not intended for tree
felling. Use of the pruning saw for operations
different than intended could result in serious injury
to the operator or bystanders.
h) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the pruning saw out
of control.
i) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
j) Carry the pruning saw by the handle with the
pruning saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the pruning
saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the pruning saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw
chain.
k) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
l) Cut wood only. Do not use the pruning saw
for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use the pruning saw for cutting metal, plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials. Use
of the pruning saw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
m) When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches are off
and the battery pack is removed or
disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the
pruning saw while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.

Causes and operator prevention of
kickback:
Kickback 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 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
personal 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.
Kickback is the result of machine misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the pruning saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
14
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the
pruning saw.
b) 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.
c) Only use replacement guide bars and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.

Safety instructions when using the
telescopic rod 628714000:
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
c) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
chain saw "live'" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate the machine in a tree, on a
ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result
in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the
machine.
Pay attention to obstacles in the working area -
danger of tripping.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the machine out of
control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
i) Carry the machine by the two handles with
the machine switched off and the saw chain
away from your body. When transporting or
storing the machine, always fit the guide bar
cover. Proper handling of the machine will reduce
