Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance
of kickback. However, kickback can still occur with
this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
•
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
•
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
•
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
•
Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
•
Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
•
Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
•
Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
•
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that
may pinch chain.
•
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
20
cut.
•
Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar
that were supplied with this pruning saw or
recommended.
•
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,

OPERATION FOR POLE SAW
Cutting with extension pole
1. Install the battery pack into the machine.
2. Before cutting a high branch, consider all the
same points detailed in the previous section
"Trimming Branches" but pay particular
attention to the likely path of the falling branch.
WARNING: Do not stand directly below a branch
being cut. Keep bystanders far away. Do not stand
on a ladder or other type of unstable support while
using the tool. Do not use the tool near cable,
electrical power or telephone lines. Keep 3m away
from all power lines. (See Fig. P1-P4)
