Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kick-

back guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kick-

back. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

• Use both hands - one gripping the handle and the

other gripping the pole. Use ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and

ﬁngers must wrap around pole and handle.

•Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure

they work properly.

• Do not overreach or extend arms above shoulder

height.

•Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

•Never try cutting through two branches at the same

time. Only cut one at a time.

• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge cut (bor-

ing into wood using guide bar nose).

•Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may

pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.

• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied

with the chain saw. Only use replacement parts

listed for the pole saw.

•Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp

with proper tension.

Saw Maintenance and Kickback Safety

Follow maintenance instructions in the chain saw

manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide

bar maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. In-

spect and maintain saw after each use. This will in-

crease the service life of your saw.

Note:

Even with

proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with

each sharpening.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

Continued

WARNING: 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. Tip

contact in some cases may cause a light-

ning fast reverse reaction, kicking the

guide bar up and back towards the opera-

tor. 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

WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-

ing, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known (to the state

of California) to cause cancer, birth de-

fects, or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints

• crystalline silica from bricks and ce-

ment and other masonry products

• arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally-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 venti-

lated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.

12. Do not force chain saw while cutting. Apply light

pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was intended.

13. When cutting limb or tree trunk that is under ten-

sion, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood

springing back. When wood tension is released,

limb could spring back and strike operator caus-

ing severe injury or death.

14. Carry Pole Saw from one place to another

• with unit unplugged

• with telescoping pole returned to shortest po-

sition

•by holding pole at balance point (close to saw

end)

• with guide bar and chain to rear

15. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the Pole

Saw. Use the chain saw only, with extreme care.

Slender matter may catch in the chain and be

whipped toward you. This could also pull you

off balance.

WARNING: This product contains

chemicals known to the State of Califor-

nia to cause cancer or birth defects, or

other reproductive harm.
