14.
carry pole Saw with tool switched off and
away from your body.
Proper handling of
the Pole Saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
15.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
16.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Kickback can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the Pole Saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
Do not let go of the garden power tool.
b. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended
tip contact and enables better control of the
garden power tool in unexpected situations.
c. Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
d. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
17.
Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
18.
Use for cutting wood only.
Do not use for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
19.
Do not touch guide bar tip to any object.
Tip contact may cause guide bar to move
suddenly upward and backwards.
20.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the appliance.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
21.
the warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur.
It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
