RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

•Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and sapling, as slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. Do not operate a pole saw in a tree unless you are specifically trained to do so. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. Do not expose the pole saw to rain. Do not use the pole saw in damp or wet locations. Do not use the pole saw in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

•All pole saw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent pole saw personnel. Do not attempt to repair it yourself; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

•When not in use, pole saws should be stored out of the reach of children, in a dry, high or locked-up place. When storing saw, use a scabbard or carrying case.

•Use the right tool. Cut wood only. Do not use the pole saw for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use the pole saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-building materials.
