power tool. If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these instructions also.

• Dress properly-Use rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors.

• DANGER – Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep both hands on handles when power is on.

• CAUTION – Blade coasts after being turned off.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)

and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will fit into a polarized extension cord

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still

does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use

of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully into the wall outlet reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the product or to disconnect the plug from an outlet.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one

heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is

recommended for extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating.

WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,

SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples

of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemical: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such

as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

observe the following precautions.

Fig. 4

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

• To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. of overhead electrical lines.

• Keep bystanders and pets at least 50 ft. away.

• When felling, do not attempt to fell a tree that has a diameter larger than 4 in., or that is taller than

you are.

• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the tree or branch will fall.

• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.

• Remove long branches in several stages.

• Cut lower branches first to allow higher branches more room to fall.

• Do not cut from a ladder, rooftop, or other unstable support; this is extremely dangerous. Leave

larger cutting operations for professionals.

• When cutting branches that are lying on the ground, make sure the

location is clear of other objects, electric wires, cables, etc., before

cutting. Also, be aware of the position of your feet before cutting

items on the ground.

• Make sure the tool is running at full speed before attempting to cut.

• Allow chain to cut for you; exert only light downward pressure. If

you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result.

• Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed.

Failure to follow proper cutting procedures can result in the bar and chain

binding and becoming pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should

happen:

• Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.

• If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while

holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and free the saw.

• If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.
