Specific Safety Rules
1.Only use the Pole Saw to cut wood. Never attempt to cut masonry, metal or any other material with the Pole Saw.
2.Clear the work area before beginning a cutting project, and plan a path of retreat to avoid falling branches.
3.Only use this tool while standing on a firm, level surface. Do not use this tool while mounted on a ladder or standing on any unstable platform.
4.Do not stand directly underneath the branch being cut. Always cut at no more than a 60° angle to the branch and extend the telescopic arm of the Pole Saw for best possible clearance.
5.Be mindful of where the branch will fall. Do not use within 50’ of overhead power lines or above anything that could be damaged by falling branches.
6.Use extreme caution when cutting branches. Branches under tension could spring back and cause severe injury. Slender branches can catch in the chain and whip back towards the operator.
7.Do not address the tip of the Pole Saw to the material being cut, as it can kick back violently causing severe injury.
.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
9.Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
10.Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
11.When using the Pole Saw, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist torque when cutting.
12.Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
13.This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
