Protecting Yourself and Those around You
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and
themselves.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the Saw and
the activity of cutting. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
When cutting a tree limb, keep everyone a safe distance from the cutting area. The safe distance should be at least twice the
length of the limb you are cutting. Stop the Saw when another person or pet approaches. If the tree limb makes contact with
any utility line, notify the utility company.
Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to operate the Saw. Never allow
children to operate the tool.
If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please do not do it.
Dressing Appropriately
Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when
using your DR Pulse 62V Pole Saw to protect against thrown chips.
We recommend the use of ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 DBA to protect your hearing.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using the Saw. If you have safety shoes, wear them. Do not use the Saw while barefoot
or wearing sandals with exposed toes or heels.
Wear a safety hard hat with a full-face shield that meets the ANSI Standards ANSI Z89.1 or CE Standards while operating the
Pole Saw.
We recommend wearing long pants and non-slip rubber gloves while using this Saw. Be sure the gloves fit properly.

Operating Your Pole Saw Safely
Protect yourself from electrocution; maintain a minimum of 50ft (15m) from overhead electrical lines.
If the Saw jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR OR CHAIN, THEY CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY
LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Safely disconnect the damaged electrical cord or line from its power source. If in doubt, call
an electrician or an electrical contractor for assistance. Failure to heed this DANGER will result in death or serious personal
injury.
This Saw can sever body parts! Keep hands and feet away from the Chain and always keep both hands on the Pole.
Do not use your DR Pulse 62V Pole Saw for any job other than the intended use.
Avoid unintentional starting - do not carry the Saw with your finger on the ON/OFF Trigger.
Remove the Battery Pack when inspecting or cleaning material from the Saw.
Never pick up or hold the Saw by the cutting Chain.
Be aware that the cutting Chain coasts to a stop after releasing the ON/OFF Trigger; it does not stop immediately.
Do not operate the Pole Saw in gaseous or explosive environments, the Motor normally sparks, and the sparks might ignite
fumes.
Never over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not operate the Saw in the rain, while in a tree, on a ladder or on a scaffold.
Never operate your Saw on a slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Never stand under the limb that you are trimming. Position yourself out of the way of falling debris.
Operate only in daylight or in an area well lit by artificial light.
Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate the Pole Saw when you are tired or under the influence of medication,
drugs, or alcohol.
Do not force the Pole Saw - it will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury when cutting at its own rate.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or limbs under tension, because slender and tense material may
catch the Saw and be whipped toward you, or spring back, pulling you off balance. Do not cut small vines and/or small
underbrush.
If the Saw vibrates abnormally, stop the motor, remove the Battery, and inspect the tool for damage. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect its operation.
Repair the damage before restarting and operating the Pole Saw. Note: Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
Do not operate the Pole Saw if it does not start normally or stop normally with the ON/OFF Trigger Switch.

Handling the Battery Pack Safely
Always charge the Battery Pack indoors, never charge it the rain or in wet conditions.
Use only the DR Lithium Charger with DR Lithium Battery Packs. Do not use the DR Lithium Charger with Battery Packs from
other manufacturers or other DR products. Use of a different Charger may cause a fire or explosion.
Never attempt to alter or open the Battery Pack or Charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Use normal
household voltage (110 volts) when charging the Battery Pack. Plug the Charger Power Supply directly into the electrical outlet.
Exercise care in handling the Battery Pack in order not to short-circuit it with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. When short-circuited, the Battery Pack or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
Electrolyte leakage from the Battery Pack can be harmful causing serious chemical burns if on the skin or in the eyes. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with cold water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention. Inhalation of vapors from a ruptured Battery Pack can cause respiratory irritation, provide
fresh air, and seek medical attention.
Never dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire, as the Battery Pack may explode. Never open or mutilate the Battery Pack; released
materials are flammable. If fire or explosion occurs, do not breathe the fumes. A burning Battery Pack will create toxic fumes.
Fire fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus. The fire in the Battery Pack will need to burn out, but the fire can
be kept from spreading. If possible, separate the Battery Pack from other flammable materials and use sand, copper powder or
powdered graphite fire extinguishers, dry ground dolomite or soda ash to smother the fire.
Do not ship damaged Battery Packs and be sure to use the original packaging materials when shipping Batteries and tools back
to DR Power Equipment if you decide you do not want them. Special labeling on the packaging is required because the
Batteries are considered hazardous materials. Check with airlines before trying to check Lithium batteries with your baggage.
New regulations are being considered that may restrict packaging and shipping of these Batteries as well as tools with Batteries
installed.
Please dispose of your used Battery Packs responsibly by recycling them, never throw away used Battery Packs in your
household trash.
