DANGER: Falling objects can cause severe head injury. Wear head protection when operating this unit. Do not stand beneath branch being cut.

Kickback is the back- ward, upward or sudden forward motion of the guide bar occurring when the chain near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of control.

WARNING: Do not operate pruner from a ladder or unstable support. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
