S To 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 ap-  
pliance plug will fit into a polarized exten-  
sion 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 polar-  
ized extension cord will require the use of a  
polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit intothe  
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, contact a quali-  
fied electrician to install the proper wall out-  
let. Do not change the equipment plug, ex-  
tension cord receptacle, or extension cord  
plug in any way.

DANGER: Do not  
use near electrical  
wires or power lines.  
Keep pruner at least  
30 feet (10 meters)  
away from all power  
lines.  
S Do not handle or operate this unit when you  
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have taken  
alcohol, drugs, or medication. You must be in  
good physical condition and mentally alert. If  
you have any condition that might be aggra-  
vated by strenuous work, check with doctor  
before operating this unit.  
S Carefully plan your operation in advance.  
Do not start cutting until you have a clear  
work area, secure footing, and a planned  
retreat path. Cluttered areas invite injuries.  
If situations occur which are not covered in  
this manual, use care and good judgment. If  
you needassistance, contact your authorized  
service dealer or call 1-800-554-6723.  
S To 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 extension cord is in good  
condition. Inspect extension cord before use  
and replace if damaged. Do not use a dam-  
aged 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  
section).

proached.  
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION  
This unit is double insulated to help protect  
against electric shock. Double insulation  
constructionconsists of two separatelayers”  
of electrical insulation instead of ground-  
ing.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 addedto 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.  
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 apruner tocut downtrees 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 standunder the limb you are pruning.  
Always position yourself out of the path of  
falling debris.  
S Do not cut smallbrush andsaplings withthe  
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. Never  
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 onthe pruner at the end  
of the cut. Applyingpressurecan 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 entangled with afor-  
eign object, stop the unit immediately and  
check for damage. Have any damage re-  
paired by an authorized service dealer be-  
fore 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 dam-  
aged, broken or is otherwise removed.  
S Always stop the unit when work is delayed  
or when walking from one cutting locationto  
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 service  
dealer.  
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.  
WARNING:  
KICKBACK  
All electrical repairs to this unit, including  
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag-  
nosed and repaired by qualified service per-  
sonnel. Replacement parts for a double insu-  
lated appliance must berecommended by the  
manufacturer. A double insulated applianceis  
marked with the words “double insulation” or  
“double insulated”. The symbol (square with-  
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 closes 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 light-  
ning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the  
guide bar up and back toward the operator.  
in a square)  
may also be marked on the  
appliance. Failure to have theunit repairedby  
qualified service personnel can cause the  
double insulation construction to become in-  
effective 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, bystanders  
or any combination of these persons may re-

S Pinch-Kickback can occur when the wood  
closes in and pinches the moving chain in  
the cut alongthetop 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.  
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 kickback  
and maintain control. Keep the fingers of your  
left hand encircling and your left thumb under  
the assist handle. Keep your right hand com-  
pletely 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 reducethe  
hazard of kickback; however, such features  
will not totally eliminate this danger. As a  
pruner user, do not rely only on safety de-  
vices. 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.  
Reduced Kickback Symmetrical Guide Bar  
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 branch, 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  
maintenanceinstructions. Check tension at  
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 chainis moving at aslower speed, there  
is greater chance of kickback occurring.  
S Cut one branch at a time.  
Small Radius Tip

ally ride into the cutter. A low kickback chain  
has met kickback performance requirements  
when tested on the representative sample of  
the chain saws specified in ANSI B175.1.

IMPORTANT POINTS  
S
Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly  
gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure  
footing and balance.  
First cut  
Pruning technique  
S
S
Plan cut carefully. Check directionbranch  
will fall.  
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.  
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.  
S
S
Watch out for branches immediately be-  
hind the branch being pruned. If the chain  
hits the rear branch, damage to the unit  
may occur.  
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 fi-  
bers is released.  
S
S
Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear  
branches out of the way to avoid tripping  
over them.  
Long branches should be removed in  
several pieces.  
Foot  
PRUNING TECHNIQUE  
When ready to cut, squeeze trigger switch  
and allow unit to reach full speed. Apply a light  
cutting pressure. DO NOT use back and forth  
sawing action.  
2. Next, move 2 -- 4 inches (5 -- 10 cm) far-  
ther out on the limb and make a second  
cut all the way through the limb.  
3. Then, make a final cut leaving a 1 -- 2 inch  
(2.5 -- 5 cm) collar from the trunk of the  
tree to avoid damage to the tree.
