• 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
In order to avoid personal injury and the risk of fire and electric shock, Disconnect appliance
from power supply before adjusting, inspecting, or cleaning the lopper.
