pacemaker failure. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) for advice.

15.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paints

Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health &

Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

Kickback Precautions

16.Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Kickback may occur when the moving Chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the Guide Bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the Saw Chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the Guide Bar can cause the Chain to dig into the wood and stop the Chain for an instant. The result is a quick, reverse reaction which kicks the Guide Bar up and back toward the operator. If the Chain is pinched along the top of the Guide Bar, the Guide Bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of Pole Saw control which can result in serious injury. Do not rely only upon the safety devices built into the Pole Saw. As an operator, you should take several steps to keep the cutting job free from accident or injury:

•Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not allow the nose of the Guide Bar to contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction while you are operating the tool.

•Always cut with the Engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze the Throttle and maintain a steady cutting speed.

•Always keep the Chain clean and sharp.

•Keep all guards and safety devices in proper working order and properly adjusted.

•Never use the Pole Saw on a ladder or unstable support.

•Before starting the Engine, make sure the Chain is not contacting any object.

•Shut off the Engine, and make sure the Chain has stopped before setting the tool down.
