give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Hold saw firmly for all cutting operations. During cutting operations, the blade may
suddenly bind in the work and may cause the saw to kickback towards the operator.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any
reason. Hold front of saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert fingers
or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize
the saw by gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead
wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and
debris ahead of time.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods and limit daily time of use.
• When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
• Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after operating the tool.
They can become very hot.
• When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but
may be easily knocked over.
WARNING: Never use the tool above shoulder height. Always position yourself
out of the path of falling branches and debris.
WARNING: Do not use this tool to fell trees.
• Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches and debris. Ensure the exit route is clear
of obstacles that would prevent or hinder movement. Remember wet grass and freshly
cut bark is slippery.
• Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall. Consider all conditions that may
affect the direction of fall, including:
• The intended direction of fall.
• The natural lean of the branch.
• Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
• Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead lines.
• The wind speed and direction.
• The safe distance between a branch and debris to be felled and bystanders,
buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any
bystander, building or object within this distance is at risk from being struck by the
falling branch.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be aware of spring back. When the
tension in the wood fibers are released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the tool out of control.
• Ensure someone is nearby (at a safe distance) in case of an accident.
• Do not attempt to operate the tool when in a tree, on a ladder or standing on
any other unstable support.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy oily handles
are slippery causing loss of control.
• If any debris gets caught with the guard or tool discontinue use, disconnect
battery and clear debris. Keep away from jammed blade as it could move and present
a cutting hazard after it is freed.
