SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this manual and on
the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before operating the tool and before performing
general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specifi c work area and local safety regula-
tions. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided in this manual.
The CS25/28 Hydraulic Pole Chain Saw will provide safe and dependable service if operated in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and
hoses before operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such
as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to ensure safe operation.
• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear, head protection, and safety shoes at all times when operating the
tool.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental engagement of the tool can
cause serious injury.
• Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/175 bar.
• Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling the tool. Wipe all couplers
clean before connecting. Use only lint-free cloths. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause
overheating of the hydraulic system.
• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above 140°F/60°C. Operation at higher oil temperatures can cause operator
discomfort and may damage the tool.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or incompletely assembled tool.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.
• Do not exceed the rated limits of the tool or use the tool for applications beyond its design capacity.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as lables and warning stickers legible.
• Always replace parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools.
• Check fastener tightness often and before each use daily.
• Do not wear loose fi tting clothing when operating the tool.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
POLE CHAIN SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a pole saw user, several steps must be taken to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
• With basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes
to accidents.
• Keep a good fi rm grip on the pole chain saw with both hands. Place your right hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the outer tube assembly when operating. Use a fi rm grip with your thumbs and fi ngers encircling the chain saw
handle and outer tube assembly. A fi rm grip helps reduce kickback and maintains control of the pole chain saw. Do not let
go.
• Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free of obstructions. Never allow the nose of the guide bar to contact a
branch or any other obstruction that can be accidently hit while operating the saw.
• Cut at the rated operating speeds (gpm).
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Only use repalcement bars and chains specifi ed by Stanley or equivalent.
• Make sure you’re well rested and mentally alert before operating the pole chain saw.
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned drop area for falling branches.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain during operation.
• Carry the saw with the unit deenergized.
• Do not opeate a pole chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and securely assembled. Make
sure the chain stops moving when the control trigger is released.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small branches. Twigs may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward the operator
or pull the operator off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be aware of springback so you will not be struck when the tension on the limb
is released. Always cut on the outside arc or curve.
• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of hydraulic fl uid.
• When using tools near energized transmission lines, make sure to use only hoses labeled and certifi ed non-conductive.
• Turn off the power unit or move the hdyraulic control valve to neutral before setting the pole chain saw down.
• Use a chain bar scabbard when transporting the saw.
• Know the location of buried or covered electrical services before starting work.
• to avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
The following guidelines must be followed to prevent accidental contact with overhead electrical conductors and/or communication wires and cables. (ref. ANSI Z133.1-2000)
Working in Proximity to Electrical Hazards:
An inspection shall be made by a qualifi ed arborist to determine whether an electrical hazard exists before climbing, or
otherwise entering, or performing work in or on a tree.
Only qualifi ed line-clearance arborists or qualifi ed line-clearance arborist trainees shall be assigned to work where an
electrical hazard exists. Qualifi ed line-clearance arborist trainees shall be under the direct supervision of qualifi ed line-
clearance arborist.
A second qualifi ed line-clearance arborists or line-clearance arborist trainees shall be within vision or voice communica-
tion during line-clearing operations aloft when line-clearance arborists or line-clearance arborist trainees must approach
closer than 10 feet (3.05 meters) to any energized electrical conductor in excess of 750 volts (primary conductor) or when:
(1) Branches or limbs being removed cannot fi rst be cut (with a pole pruner/pole saw) to suffi ciently clear electrical
conductors, so as to avoid contact.
(2) Roping is required to remove branches or limbs from such electrical conductors. This does not apply to indi viduals working on behalf of, or employed by, electrical system owners/operators engaged in line-clearing
operations incidental to their normal occupation.
Qualifi ed line-clearance arborists and line-clearance arborist trainees shall maintain minimum approach distances from
energized electrical conductors in accordance with Table 1.
All other arborists shall maintain a minimum approach distance from energized electrical conductors in accordance with
Table 2.
Branches hanging on an energized electrical conductor shall be removed using non-conductive equipment.
Table 1 - Minimum approach distances from energized conductors for qualifi ed line-clearance ar-
borists and qualifi ed line- clearance arborist trainees.
