ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(applies to all attachments)

WARNING:

Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain,
in damp or wet locations, or around swimming
pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not expose to snow,
rain, or water to avoid the possibility of electri­cal shock. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not
handle extension cord plug or unit with wet

hands. Avoid dangerous situations. Do not
use in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion
and/or causing damage to unit. Do not abuse
cord. Never carry the unit by the extension
cord or yank extension cord to disconnect
unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use cord as a handle, close a door on
cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or cor­ners. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or water. Do
not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is
not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into wa­ter, return it to your authorized service dealer
for repair. Unplug the unit from the power
source when not in use, before servicing, and
when changing accessories and/or attach­ments. Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hairand anything that may re­duce air flow.

S Use a voltage supply as shown on unit.
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in unventilated areas or where dust or ex­plosive vapors can build up.

S T o reduce the risk of electrical shock, this

equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord. The ap­pliance 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 willfit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug
does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contac t aquali­fied electrician to install the proper wall out­let. Do not change the equipment plug, ex­tension cord receptacle, or extension cord
plug in any way.

S T o reduce risk of electrical shock, use exten-

sion cords specifically marked as suitable for
outdoor appliances having electrical rating not
less than the rating of unit. Cord must be
marked with suffix “W--A” (in Canada “W”).
Make sure your extensi o n cord is in good
condition. Inspect extension cord before use
and replace if damaged. Do not use a dam­aged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with
no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors
must be undamaged. The extension cord
used to reach the power source must be
heavy enough to carry current from the power
source the full length of the extension cord to
the unit. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see SELECT
AN EXTENSION CORD in the OPERATION
secti on).

S Do not use multiple cords.
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator

and obstacles at all times. Position cord so
that it will not be caught on branches.

3

S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-

cessed plug as shown in this manual to pre-

vent damage to unit and/or extension cord

and to reduce the possibility of the exten-

sion cord disconnecting fromthe unit during

operation. See A TTACH THEEXTENSION

CORD TO YOUR TRIMMER in the OP-

ERATION section.
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-

lation and connectors on the powerhead and

extension cord before each use. If there is

any damage, do not use until damage is re-

paired by your authorized service dealer.
S Do not use the unit if the switch does not

turn the unit on and off properly. Repairs to

the switch must be made by your autho-

rized service dealer.
S Avoid unintentionalstarting of the unit.Nev-

er carry unit with your finger on the switch.

Be sure the switch is in the OFF position

and never touch the switch when connect-

ing extension cord.
S Avoid any body contact with any grounded

conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,

to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on circuit or

outlet to be used. Receptacles are avail-

able having built-in GFCI protection and

may be used for this measure of safety.
S Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-

proached.

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help protect
against electric shock. Double insulation
construction consists of two separate “layers”
of electrical insulation instead of ground­ing.Tools built with this insulation system are
not intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should a
means of grounding be added to this unit. As a
result, the extension cord used with your unit
can be plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet. Safety precautions must be
observed when operating any electrical tool.
The double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting from
an internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING:

All electrical repairs to this unit, including
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag­nosed and repaired by qualified service per­sonnel. Replacement parts for a double insu­lated appliance must be recommended by the
manufacturer. A double insulated appliance is
marked with the words “double insulation” or
“double insulated”. The symbol (square with­in a square)
appliance. Failure tohave theunit repaired by
qualified service personnel can cause the
double insulation construction to become in­effective and result in serious injury.

OPERATE YOUR PRUNER SAFELY

S Do not operate a pruner with one hand. Seri-

ous injury to the operator, helpers, by standers

or any combination of these persons may re-

may also be marked on the

sult from one-handed operation. A pruner is
intended for two-handed use.

S Do not operate pruner from a ladder or in a

tree.

S Do not use a pruner to cut down trees or any

portion of the tree trunk.

S Only use for pruning limbs or branches

overhead not greater than 4 inches (10 cm)
in diameter.

S Never stand under the limb you arepruning.

Always position yourself out of the path of
falling debris.

S Do not cut small brush and saplings with the

pruner. Slender matter may catch in the
chain and be whipped toward you, pulling
you off balance.

S Make sure the chain will not make contact

with any object while starting the unit. Nev er
try to start the unit when the guide bar is in a
cut.

S Do not force pruner. It will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was intended.

S Do not put pressure on the prunerat the end

of the cut. Applying pressure can cause you
to lose control when the cut is completed.

S Do not run the unit at high speed when not

pruning.

S Use the right tool, cut wood only. Don’t use

pruner for purpose not intended; for example,
don’t use pruner for cutting plastic, masonry,
non-wood building materials, etc.

S If you strike or become entangledwith a for-

eign object, stop the unit immediately and
check for damage. Have any damage re­paired by an authorized s ervice dealer be­fore attempting further operations.

S Do not operate a pruner that is damaged,

improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Always replace bar
and chain immediately if it becomes dam­aged, broken or is otherwise removed.

S Always stop the unit when work is delayed

or when walking from one cutting location to
another. Stop the motor and make sure
chain has stopped moving before setting
the unit down.

S Inspect cords periodically and if damaged,

have repaired by an authorized serv ice
dealer.

S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.

KICKBACK

WARNING: Avoid kickback which

can result in serious injury. Kickback is the
backward, upward or sudden forward motion
of the guide bar occurring when the chain
near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts
any object such as a log or branch, or when
the wood c loses in and pinches the chain in
the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the
wood can also result in loss of control.
S Rotational Kickback can occur when the

moving chain contacts an object at the upper
tip of the guide bar. This contact can cause
the chain to dig into the object, which stops
the chain for an instant. The result is a light­ning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator.

4

S Pinch-Kickback can occur when the wood

closes in and pinches the moving chain in

the cut alongthe top of the guidebar and the

chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden

stopping of the chain results in a reversal of

the chain force used to cut wood and

causes the pruner to move in the opposite

direction of the chain rotation. The pruner is

driven straight back toward the operator.
S Pull-In can occur when the moving chain

contacts a foreign object in the wood in the cut

along the bottom of the guide bar and the

chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden stop-

ping pulls the pruner forward and away from

the operator and could easily cause the oper-

ator to lose control of the pruner.

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF
KICKBACK

S Recognize that kickback can happen. With

a basic understanding of kickback, you can

reduce the element of surprise which con-

tributes to accidents.
S Never let the moving chain contact any ob-

ject at the tip of the guide bar.
S Keep the working area free from obstructions

such as other trees, branches, rocks, stumps,

etc. Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that

your chain could hit while you are cutting.

When cutting a branc h, do not let the guide

bar contact branch or other objects around it.
S Keep your chain sharp and properly ten-

sioned. A loose or dull chain can increase

the chance of kickback occurring. Follow

manufacturer’s chain sharpening and

maintenance instructions. Check tensionat

regular intervals, but never with the motor

running. Make sure the bar clamp nut is se-

curely tightened after tensioning the chain.
S Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If

the chain is moving at a slower speed, there

is greater chance of kickback occurring.

S Cut one branch at a time.
S Use extreme caution when re-entering a

previous cut.
S Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of

the bar (plunge cuts).
S Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that

could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
S Use the Reduced- -Kickback Guide Bar and

Low- -Kickback Chain specified for your unit.

MAINTAIN CONTROL

S Keep a good, firm grip on the pruner with both

hands when the unit is running and don’t let
go. A firm grip will help you reduce kickbac k
and maintain control. Keep the fingers of your
left hand encircling and your left thumb under
the assist handle. Keep your right hand com­pletely around the trigger handle whether your
are right handed or left handed.

S Stand with your weight evenly balanced on

both feet.

S Stand slightly to the left side of the pruner to

keep your body from being in a direct line with
the cutting chain.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING: The following features

are included on your pruner to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this danger. As a
pruner user, do not rely only on safety de­vices. You must follow all safety precautions,
instructions, and maintenance in this manual
to help avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in serious injury.
S Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed with

a small radius tip which reduces the size of
the kickback danger zone on the bar tip.

Always release the trigger switch as soon as
the cut is completed, allowing the motor to
stop. Keep the cord away from the cutting
area. Position cord so it will not be caught on
branches and the like during cutting.

PRUNING

WARNING: Be alert for and guard

against kickback. Do not allow the moving
chain to contact any other branches or ob­jects at the nose of the guide bar when prun­ing. Allowing such contact can result in seri­ous injury.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly

gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure
footing and balance.

S Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch

will fall.

S Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are

small size limbs which can catch the chain
and whip toward you or pull you off balance.
Use extreme caution when cutting small
size limbs or slender material.

S Watch out for branches immediately be-

hind the branch beingpruned. If the chain
hits the rear branch, damage to the unit
may occur.

S Be alert for springback. Watch out for

branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the
pruner when the tension in the wood fi­bers is released.

S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.

S Long branches should be removed in

several pieces.

PRUNING TECHNIQUE

When ready to cut, squeeze trigger switch
and allow unit toreach full speed. Apply alight
cutting pressure. DO NOT use back and forth
sawing action.

First cut

Pruning technique

1. Make the first cut 6 inches (15 cm) from
the tree trunk on the bottom of the limb.
Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut
1/3 through the diameter of the limb.

NOTE: When making the second and third

cuts, rest the foot of the pruner against the
tree limb that is being cut to prevent whipping
of the branch.

Foot

2. Next, move 2 -- 4 inches (5 -- 10 cm) far­ther out on the limb and make a second
cut all the way through the limb.

3. Then, make a final cut leaving a 1 -- 2inch
(2.5 -- 5 cm) collar from the trunk of the
tree to avoid damage to the tree.

CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS

A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull chain
makes a sawdust powder and cuts slowly.
See CHAIN SHARPENING in the SERVICE
AND ADJUSTMENTS section.

BAR MAINTENANCE

If your pruner cuts to one side, has to be
forced through the cut, or been run with an im­proper amount of bar lubrication it may be
necessary to service your bar. A worn bar will
damage your chain and make cutting difficult.
Aft er each u se, with unit disconnected from
power source, clean all sawdust from the
guide bar and sprocket hole.
To maintain guide bar:

S Disconnect pruner from power source.
S Loosen and remove bar clamp nut and

chain brake. Remove bar and chain from
pruner.

S Clean the oil holes and bar groove after

each 5 hours of operation.

Remove Sawdust From

Guide Bar Groove

Oil Holes

4. Using bar tool, roll chain around guide bar to
ensure all links are in bar groove.

5. Lift up tip of guide bar to check for sag.
Release tip of guide bar, then turn adjust­ing screw 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until
sag does not exist.

6. While lifting tip of guide bar, tighten bar
clamp nut securely with the bar tool.

7. Use the screwdriver end of the bar tool to
move chain around guide bar.

8. If chain does not rotate, it is too tight. Slightly
loosen bar clamp nut and loosen chain by
turning the adjusting screw 1/4 turn counter­clockwise. Retighten bar clamp nut.

9. If chain is too loose, it will sag below the
guide bar and needs to be tightened fol­lowing above procedure.

WARNING: DO NOT operate the

pruner if the chain is loose. If the pruner is oper­ated with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.

S Burring of guide bar rails is a normal

process of rail wear. Remove these burrs
with a flat file.

S When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to re-

store square edges and sides.
