WARNING Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products can expose you to
wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer.
Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For
more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-
operated (cordless) machine.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine.
Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying
machines with your nger on the switch or energizing machines that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the machine in unexpected situations.
4
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become
complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
Machine use and care
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct
machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing machines. Such preventive safely measures reduce the risk of starting the machine
accidentally.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If
damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained machines.
Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Battery machine use and care
Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use machines only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
5
Do not expose a battery pack or machine to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to
re or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging Instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside
the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
Service
Have your machine serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELESCOPIC PRUNING SAW
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain and the kickback guard when the
pruning saw is operating. Before you start the pruning saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pruning saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Do not reach underneath the lumber. The guard cannot protect you from the saw chain
below the lumber.
Check the kickback guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
pruning saw if the guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the kickback guard into the open position. If the pruning saw is accidentally dropped, the
guard may be bent. Raise the guard and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
saw chain or any other part, in all angles.
Check the operation of the kickback guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Kickback guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Do not at any time point the lower part or the tip of the pruning saw towards anyone or
anything other than the wood to be cut. The saw chain on the bottom part of the guide bar
is not covered by a guard, which may cause serious damage or injury if it points to something
or someone.
Always hold the pruning saw rmly with two hands. Holding the pruning saw with only one
hand increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. Refer to chapter “Proper
Grip on Handles” later in this manual.
Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the machine “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Do not use the pruning saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs, and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree. Operation of a pruning saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the pruning saw only when standing on xed,
secure, and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the pruning saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood bers is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
pruning saw out of control.
6
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the pruning saw by the handle with the pruning saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the pruning saw always t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the pruning saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance of kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces may lead to unsafe handling and/or loss of control of the machine.
Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use pruning saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the
pruning saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention
of kickback (Fig. 1, 2, 3):
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 sud-
den reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator.
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 personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw. As
a pruning saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from acci-
dent or injury.
Kickback is the result of machine misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below:

• Hold the pruning saw with both hands,
thumbs and ngers around the handles
of the pruning saw. Bring your body
and arms in a position where you can
withstand the kickback. If appropriate
measures are taken, the operator can
control the kickback forces (Fig. 4).
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the pruning saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the pruning saw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Causes and operator prevention
of pull-in (Fig. 5):
WARNING
• Pull-in occurs when the chain on the bottom
of the bar is suddenly stopped or signicantly
slowed when it is pinched, caught or
encounters a foreign object in the wood. The
reaction of the chain pulls the saw forward
and may cause the operator to lose control,
which, in turn, may cause serious or fatal
injury.
• Pull-in usually occurs when the bucking
spikes of the saw are not held securely
against the branch or limb and the chain is not rotating at full speed before it contacts the
wood.

• To reduce the risk of pull-in:
– Cut with a sharp, properly tensioned chain.
– Always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed and with the bucking spikes in contact
with the wood.
– Use caution when cutting small-size brush, branches and saplings which may easily catch
the chain, spring towards you or pull you off balance.
– Do not use the saw with a damaged or missing guard.
Additional Safety Warnings
Pull (Fig. 6) – The reaction force is always
opposite to the direction the chain is moving
where wood contact is made. Thus, the oper-
ator must be ready to control the PULL when
cutting on the bottom edge of the bar.
Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each
cutter can minimize the force of a kickback
reaction by preventing the cutters from digging
in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use
a replacement chain that is equivalent to the
original chain or has been certied as a low
kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American National Standard for Power
Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain saws - Safety Requirements) when tested on the representa-
tive sample of pruning saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1.
CAUTION
• As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution should be used.
