UNIT/MAINTENANCE Safety

SUse only a voltage supply as shown on the

nameplate of the unit.

SAvoid dangerous situations. Do not use in presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or

causing damage to unit.

SAvoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in unventilated areas or where dust or ex- plosive vapors can build up.

STo reduce the risk of electric shock, the pow- erhead may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); if so, it will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The ap- pliance plug will fit into a polarized 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 a correct polar- ized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord recep-

tacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

STo reduce risk of electrical shock, use exten- sion cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of unit. Cord must be marked with suffix “W--A” (in Canada “W”). Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. Do not use a dam- aged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. The extension cord used to reach the power source must be heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of the extension cord to the unit. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

SDo not use multiple cords.

SDo not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a han- dle, close a door on cord, or pull cord

around sharp edges or corners. Do not ex- pose cords to heat, oil, or water.

SKeep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times.

STie cord to cord retainer and connect to re- cessed plug as shown in this manual to pre- vent damage to unit and/or extension cord and to reduce the possibility of the exten- sion cord disconnecting from the unit during

operation.

SDo not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu- lation and connectors on the powerhead and extension cord before each use. If there is

any damage, do not use until damage is re- paired by your authorized service dealer.

S Do not use the powerhead if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly.

Have the unit repaired by your authorized service dealer.

SDo not use with damaged cord or plug. If powerhead is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your autho-

rized service dealer for repair.

SAvoid unintentional starting of the unit. Nev- er carry unit with your finger on the switch. Be sure the switch is in the off position and

never touch the switch when connecting extension cord.

SUnplug the unit from the power source when

not in use, before servicing, and when chang- ing accessories and/or attachments.

SAvoid any body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,

to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Re- ceptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

WARNING: Disconnect powerhead spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from pow- er source) before performing maintenance.

SInspect entire unit before each use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make

sure all fasteners are in place and securely fastened.

SMaintain unit according to recommended pro-

cedures.

SUse only recommended Poulan PRO parts

and accessories.

SBe sure chain stops moving when engine idles (see CARBURETOR ADJUST- MENTS section of powerhead manual).

SKeep others away when making carburetor adjustments.

SNever start the unit with the clutch housing re- moved. The clutch can fly off and cause seri-

ous injury.

SKeep the handles driy, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.

SKeep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fasteners securely tightened.

SHave all maintenance and service not ex- plained in this manual performed by an autho- rized service dealer.

OPERATE YOUR PRUNER SAFELY

SOperate the pruner only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.

SDo not use a pruner to cut down trees or any

portion of the tree trunk.

S Only use for pruning limbs or branches overhead not greater than 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.

SDo not cut small brush and saplings with the pruner. Slender matter may catch in the chain and be whipped toward you, pulling you off balance.

SMake sure the chain will not make contact with any object while starting the engine. Never try to start the unit when the guide bar is in a cut.
