IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Warning – When using an electric pole saw, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Make sure you read and understand all instructions Important Safety Information on pages 2 through 4. Improper use of this pole saw can cause severe injury or death from fire, electrical shock, and body contact with moving chain, on falling wood. BEFORE OPERATING SAW 1.
10. Before cutting, always provide the following: Clear work area Secure footing Planned retreat path from falling tree 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.
16. 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 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.
EXTENSION CORDS If you use an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your electric saw will draw. An improper gauged extension cord will cause a drop in wire voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Use only extension cords having an electric rating not less than the rating of the product. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and machine ampere rating.

Chain Lubricating Oil Use high quality chain lubricating oil to minimize wear between the saw chain and guide bar while in use. We recommend using SAE No. 30 in the summer and SAE No. 10 in the winter or when cutting resinous wood. Check the oil level prior to each use. Oil tank capacity: 70 cc (2.5 fluid ounces) WARNING - Never use waste or reclaimed oil.
OPERATION Warning – Always follow safety procedures. Use the chainsaw only for cutting wood and not other types of materials. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, poor visibility conditions, or in extreme temperatures. Always check for dead branches which may fall during cutting operations. Follow these steps to operate: 1. Loosen the locking lever. Pole will slide freely. 2.
