OPERATION WARNING! Ensure that the tool is correctly assembled and all safety instructions have been read and understood before attempting to operate your tool. SAWING OPERATION 1. Keep bystanders and animals away from the sawing area. Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 feet from currentcarrying power lines to avoid life-threatening electric shock. 2. Stand to the side of the branch being sawed. Never stand below it, as the branch may fall on your head.
