11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a polarized plug ( one blade is wider than the other )This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet of your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.
WHILE OPERATING SAW Stay alert. Use common sense while operating pole saw.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Be aware of extension cord while operating pole saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times.
Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from pole saw and extension cord. Only pole saw user should be in work area.
Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or have expert help.
If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide plenty of distance between operations. Provide distance of at least twice the height of tree being felled.
Grip pole saw firmly with both hands Never operate pole saw with one hand. Never use hand guard as handle.
Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.
Before starting pole saw , make sure chain is not touching anything.
To guard against electrical shock, avoid body contact with grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
Keep all parts of body away from chain when saw is running.
Do not force pole saw while cutting . Apply light pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
Cut small brush and saplings with extreme care Slender material may catch in chain and be whipped toward you. This could also pull you off balance.
When cutting limb or tree trunk that is under tension, use extreme caution . Be alert for wood springing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.
Carry pole saw from one place to another.
With saw stopped and unplugged
By holding front handle ( never use hand guard as handle )
With finger off trigger
With guide bar and chain to rear
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the extended-reach pruner may result in serious personal injury.
6
Carry the extended-reach pruner by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing the extended-reach pruner, always fit the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the extended-reach pruner will reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.
Hold the extended-reach pruner by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a ²live² wire may make exposed metal parts of the extended-reach pruner ²live² and could give the operator an electric shock. Exception: ²or its own cord² maybe omitted for battery-operated appliances.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain. Exception: This warning does not apply to a battery-operated appliance.
WARNING: Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric lines, Consult local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the operating position is safe and secure before operating the saw chain pole pruner.
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches on object, or when the wood closes in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operation. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in
serious injury to user.
Kickback is the name given to a sudden, rapid upward movement of the saw cutting mechanism in an upward arc towards the operator Kickback occurs when the upper quadrant of the bar nose comes in contact with a solid object or is pinched. The rotational force of the chainsaw can be reversed in the opposite direction of the chain movement. This may fling the bar up and back in an arc towards the operator. Serious injury or even death can result from contact between the moving saw chain and the operator.
The best protection against injury due to kickback is to avoid situations that can cause kickback:
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands and maintain a secure grip.
Be aware of the location of the bar nose at all times while cutting.
Never bring the nose of the guide bar in contact with any object. Never cut limbs with the nose of the guide bar. Be especially careful when cutting saplings, brush and small hard limbs that may easily pinch the cutting chain.
Don’t cut above shoulder height. Don’t overreach or use the chainsaw while standing on a ladder or tree.
Never use the chainsaw one-handed.
Use extreme caution when entering a previous cut.
Do not attempt plunge cuts if you are not familiar with this cutting technique.
Stand to the side of the cutting path of the chainsaw.
Cut with a correctly sharpened , properly tensioned chain at all times.
Save these instructions. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this pole saw.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools that eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tools internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system. This should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original replacement parts intended for your particular model of tool when servicing
WARNING: This tool is for outdoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a # 12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

2. Move the chain tension pin fully back towards the sprocket using the chain tension screw. ( See direction arrow)
3. Place the guide bar onto the bar studs so that the chain tension pin fits into the hole in the guide bar. 4. Install chain over clutch and place around the sprocket and guide bar. 5. Make sure the chain cutters on top of the guide bar face in the direction that the chain runs. 6. Install guide bar cover. Tighten the sprocket locking knob finger tight. 7. Adjust saw chain tension by first holding the bar nose up and turning the chain tension screw clockwise until saw chain touches the bottom of the guide. 8. Tighten the sprocket cover locking nut using the wrench provided, keeping the guide bar nose up while tightening the nut. 9. Pull the saw chain around the guide bar by hand to check for tight spots. Saw chain should move freely but not sag. If too tight loosen the guide bar nuts and adjust using the chain tension screw.
13
10. Tighten the guide bar cover by turning the sprocket locking knob and using a screwdriver to tighten crew.
WARNING: Never try to run the chainsaw without sprocket cover securely tightened.
Caution: Proper saw chain tension is extremely important. If saw chain is too tight, the guide bar and saw chain will be quickly damaged. If the saw chain is too loose, it may get out of the guide bar groove and cause an Injury.
Note: A new chain will stretch so adjust the tension after a few cuts. Watch saw chain tension carefully for the first half hour of cutting.
Guide bar and oil holes
Clean guide bar before use. Follow instructions for removing and installing guide bar and saw chain. Remove guide bar and clean groove of the guide bar with a small screwdriver . Clean oil holes with a wire. Check the sprocket and the clutch and clean the bar mount area before installing the bar. Guide bar with sprocket nose should be lubricated with grease using a lubricating syringe. Invert the symmetrically shaped guide bar every 8 working hours or each time the chain is removed to ensure uniform wear. Check the bar rails frequently for wear and remove burs and square up the rails using a flat file. Clean the Oiler port on the saw every time the saw chain and guide bar are removed.
Sprocket
A damaged drive sprocket will cause premature wear or damage of the chainsaw. Check the sprocket when installing a new chain. When outer diameter of sprocket is worn 0.5mm (0.020″or more, replace it. Always clean sprocket, clutch and bar mount area before installing guide bar.
Saw chain sharpening
It is advisable to have professional shops sharpen saw chains. It is beyond the expertise of the typical home owner to sharpen saw chains. An improperly sharpened saw chain will not cut effectively, require more physical effort, and cause high vibrations and a higher rate of wear.
