basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce 

the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the 

following:

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. 
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit 

of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed 
from the saw before turning it on. 

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Clear working area of   

branches and limbs after every cutting. Cluttered areas 
invite accidents. 

• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don’t use 

power tools in damp or wet locations.

• DON’T USE THE POLE SAW IN THE RAIN. 
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe 

distance from work area.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at 

the rate for which it was designed. 

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a 

job for which it was not designed. 

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Use of 

rubber gloves and substantial footware is recommended 
when working outdoors.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust 

mask if cutting operation is dusty.

• Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they 

are NOT safety glasses.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean 

for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for 
lubricating and changing accessories. 

• DISCONNECT TOOL. Disconnect the Pole Saw from the 

power supply when not in use, before servicing, when 
changing accessories or chain. 

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.  

Make sure switch is in off position before plugging it  

into a power source.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s 

manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper 
accessories may cause risk of injury. 

• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before each use, a 

guard or other part that is damaged should be repaired or 
replaced and check for alignment of moving parts, binding 
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions 
that may affect its operation.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.    

Turn power OFF. Don’t leave saw until it comes to   

a complete stop. 

• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry Pole Saw 

with finger on the switch.

• DON’T GRASP THE EXPOSED CUTTING BLADE OR 

CUTTING EDGES WHEN PICKING UP OR HOLDING SAW.

• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate Pole Saw when you are tired.

• STORE IDLE TOOL INDOORS. When not in use, appliances 

should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up 
places out of reach of children.
