WARNING: Never use the tool above shoulder height. Always position yourself out of the path of falling branches and debris. WARNING: Do not use this tool to fell trees.

-Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches and debris. Ensure the exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or hinder movement. Remember wet grass and freshly cut bark is slippery.

-Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall. Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall, including:

-The intended direction of fall.

-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.

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