ADJUSTING POLE EXTENSION (See Fig. 10.)
•
Disconnect the pole saw from the power supply.
•
Rotate the collar clockwise to loosen.
•
Push poles towards each other to shorten the pole, or pull away from each other to lengthen
the pole.
NOTE: Extend the pole only to the length required to reach the limb being cut. Do not extend the handle
above waist height.
•
When the desired length is achieved, rotate the collar counter-clockwise to secure.
NOTE: Adjust hand placement on the shaft of the pole saw to keep proper balance. Do not attempt to use the
pole saw at a length that does not allow you to achieve proper footing and balance at all times.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (See Fig. 11-12.)
•
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Use your right hand to firmly
grip the rear handle while your left hand has a firm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right
hand on the rear handle, so your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed
(cross-handed) grip or any stance that places your body or arm across the chain line.
•
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
•
Be certain the collars are fully tightened before operating equipment. Check them periodically
for tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
