DANGER
lines, electric cords, or
other electric sources. Keep tool at
least 50' away from electric power
lines. If bar and chain jams on any electrical cord
or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR OR CHAIN!
THEY CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND
VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the tool by
the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away
from you in a safe manner. Disconnect the elec-
trical service to the damaged line or cord before
attempting to free the bar and chain from the line
or cord. Contact with the bar, chain, other con-
ductive parts of the tool or live electric cords or
lines will result in death by electrocution, electric
shock, or serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• Guard against kickback which can result in
severe injury or death. See Important safety
instructions in "Kickback" section to avoid the
risk of kickback.
• Always wear eye protection with side shield, as
well as head and hearing protection. Failure to
do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
• Do not overreach. Do not cut with right hand
holding tool above shoulder height. Make sure
your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your
weight evenly on both feet.
• 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.

• Use a firm grip with your left hand on the hand
grip and your right hand on the rear handle so
that your body is to the left of the guide bar.
• Never use a cross-handed grip (left hand on the
rear handles and right hand on the hand grip).
• Never allow any part of your body to be in line
with the guide bar when operating the tool.
• Never operate while in a tree, in any awkward posi-
tion or on a ladder or other unstable surface. You
may lose control of tool causing severe injury.
• Never fell a tree. Never cut a log or limb that has
a diameter greater than the cutting capacity.
These cuts require 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 tool 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 tool at end of cut.
• When not in use always remove the battery.
• 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.
Kickback may occur when the moving
WARNING
chain contacts an object at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can
cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the
chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast, re-
verse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back
toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along
the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reac-
tions can cause loss of tool control which can result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into the tool. As a pole saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or injury.
The following precautions should be followed to
minimize kickback:
• Always grip the tool firmly with both
hands. Hold the tool firmly with both
hands when the tool is running.
• The tool can be held in multiple orienta-
tions depending on the grip used. Keep your right
hand on the trigger handle and grip either the hand
grip or pole hand grip with your left hand.
• Use your thumbs and fingers to fully encircle the
tool handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left arm
will help you maintain control of the tool if kickback
occurs.
