ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS cont. 

ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH

OPERATION 

POWER ON/OFF

A cam levered collet is used to hold the pole in position at any extended length.

1. To extend the pole, loosen the clamping lever as shown in Fig. 9.

    Pole will slide freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired length

    of extension.
    

Note: only extend pole to minimum length

    required to reach limb that is being cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping

    lever as shown in Fig. 9.

The pole saw has a telescoping pole assembly that will extend from 89.7 inches
(fully retracted) to 119.4 inches (fully extended). 

1. Switching on and off (See Fig. 10)

For 

switching on the tool,

press the Lock-off Button (3),
then fully press the On/Off Switch (2)
and hold in this position.

The Lock-Off Button can now be released.

For 

switching off, release the On/Off Switch.

OPERATION cont. 

CUTTING WITH CHAINSAW

1. 

Connect saw to extension cord.

    Connect extension cord to power supply.

    (See Fig. 12)
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying

    on the ground. This will keep the chain

    from touching the ground as it cuts through

    the log. Touching the ground while the Chain

    is moving is dangerous and will dull the Chain.
3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left

    hand to grip 

Front Handle

 

and right hand

    to grip 

Rear Handle. Use a firm grip.

    Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw

    handles (See Fig. 13 ). 
4. Make sure your footing is firm.

    Keep shoulder width feet apart.

    Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the

    Lock-off Button (3) completely in with the

    right thumb and squeeze the trigger.

    This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger

    will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is

    running at full speed before starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain

    against the wood. Hold saw firmly in place to

    avoid possible bouncing or skating

    (sideways movement) of saw.
7. Guide the saw using light pressure and do

    not put excessive force on the saw. The motor

    will overload and can burn out. It will do the job

    better and safer at the rate for which it was

    intended.
8. Remove the saw from a cut with the saw

    running at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing

    the On/off Switch (2). Make sure the chain

    has stopped before setting the saw down.
9. Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure

    working area until you get the hang of it and

    can saw with ease, using a fluid motion and

    a steady cutting rate.

     

IMPORTANT:

 Be sure the oil reservoir is filled. Check the Oil Level Window (see Fig. 11)

prior to starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil level is low.
A full oil tank will last approx. 12 minutes depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10 minutes during operation.
