-The natural lean of the branch.

-Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.

-Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead lines.

-The wind speed and direction.

-The safe distance between a branch and debris to be felled and bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any bystander, building or object within this distance is at risk from being struck by the falling branch.

-When cutting a limb that is under tension be aware of spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres are released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the tool out of control.

-Always wear suitable safety equipment such as non-skid

heavy-duty shoes, goggles, ear protection and gloves when operating the tool.

-Ensure someone is nearby (at a safe distance) in case of an accident.

-Do not attempt to operate the tool when in a tree, on a ladder or standing on any other unstable support.

-Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

-Hold the tool firmly with both hands when the motor is running.

-Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

-Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guide bar.

-Keep your saw chain properly tensioned. Check tension at regular intervals with the motor stopped and battery disconnected.

-Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at full speed.

-Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.

-Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage spikes on lower jaw into wood and allow the chain to reach full

speed before proceeding with cut.

-Use of this tool for operation different to those intended could result in hazardous situations. Cut wood only. Don't use this tool for purposes not intended - for example - Don't use tool for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.

-If any debris gets caught with the guard or tool discontinue use, disconnect power cord and clear debris.

-Worn chains and chain guide bars should be replaced.

-Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.

-This saw is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory problems in the user's hands due to vibration. For such use, it may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-vibration feature.

Kickback Safety Features

Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide bar, contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

WARNING: The following features are included on your Alligator LopperTM to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such features will not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw user do not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.

Top Jaw - This has been designed specifically to cover the tip of the chain bar where the danger zone for kickback occurs. In the event of any kickback the guard also helps reduce the risk of the chain
