WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:
 Read instruction manual before using.
 Save instruction manual.
 Keep hands away from blades.
 Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
A good, firm grip on the pole/ chain saw with both hands will help you
maintain control. Grip the rear handle with your right hand whether
you are right or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left hand over
and around the front handle when using the chainsaw, or around the
pole shaft when using the pole saw. A firm grip together with
positioning handle against your body will help you maintain control of
the saw. Don't let go.
WARNING: Do not operate pole saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a
scaffold; this is extremely dangerous.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after pole saw is turned off. Do not use
under wet conditions.
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, pull you off balance or spring back.
Do not use saw to cut vines and or small underbrush.

battery to ensure a good connection.
WARNING: Make sure the latch on the battery snaps in place and
the battery pack is fully seated and secure in the battery port
before beginning operation. Failure to securely seat the battery
pack could cause the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious
personal injury.

■ Pull upwards on the battery pack latch button and
pull the battery pack out.
CHAIN OILING SYSTEM
Make sure you follow the instructions in "Maintenance "for putting
oil in the chain saw.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the bar
and chain. Use only a goof quality bar and chain oil or, if not
available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To
prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When storing the
unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer) be sure the chain is
lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
Make sure oil tank lid is tightly closed.
■ Use bar and chain lubricant (not provided) that is formulated to
perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oils.
Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
■ Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.
■ Check and fill the oil tank when battery is recharged, or as
