general safety Rules  
wARning! Read all instructions  
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury.  
1.  
2.  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.  
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a Chain saw. Distrac-  
tions can cause you to lose control.  
3.  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a  
Chain Saw. Do not use this product while you are tired or under the influence  
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating Chain  
Saws may result in serious personal injury.  
4.  
use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment  
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, ANSI approved hard hat, full  
face shield, and work gloves should be used for appropriate conditions to  
reduce personal injuries.  
 
5.  
Move as far away from the cutting area as the Extension Ropes allows. Con-  
nect the Handles (1) to the ends of the Extension Ropes. Longer ropes of the  
same gauge as the Extension Ropes can be attached to the Chain Saw so that  
higher limbs can be cut and/or the user can be a safe distance away from the  
limb being cut.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
Cut at a 45° angle by pulling the Extension Ropes alternately with each hand.  
As the Chain is pulled it will automatically orient itself to cut the limb.  
Cutting the bottom of the branch first will prevent the limb from peeling excess  
amounts of bark from the tree when the limb falls.  
Saw the limb in long, brisk strokes. Use the full length of the Chain Saw to cut  
the limb. Do not change position while cutting as this can cause the Chain to  
bind. Stay clear of the cutting area for safety.  
9.  
To cut roots, clear away dirt and debris from around the root, loop the Chain  
Saw under the root, connect the Handles, and pull back and forth until the root is  
sawed through. Cut the root at a 45° angle, repeat at the other side of the root  
to remove it completely.  
Caution. Do not put excess pressure on the Chain Saw during this process or, when  
the root is cut through, the Saw could fly back toward the operator, possibly  
causing personal injury.  
10.  
Removing branches or roots can be traumatic to the tree and can provide an  
entry point for disease and pests. Seek advice from your local lawn and garden  
specialist concerning care for the tree after limb removal.  
11.  
Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
