Insert loop portion of extension cord through opening
in the bottom of the rear handle and place over cord
retainer.
Slowly pull loop against cord retainer until the slack is
removed.
Plug product into extension cord.
NOTE:
Failure to remove all excess cord slack from
extension cord retainer could result in plug loosening
from receptacle.

ADJUSTING TELESCOPIC POLE
See Figure 5.
Disconnect the pole saw from the power supply.
Rotate the collar counterclockwise 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
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 which does not allow
you to achieve proper footing and balance at all
times.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
See Figures 6 - 7.
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.

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.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 6 - 7.

shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.

underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard

until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to
balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.
Make a final cut close to trunk.

being cut. This will help steady the limb and make
it easier to cut. Allow chain to cut for you; exert
only light downward pressure. If you force the cut,
damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result.
Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed.
Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result
in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched or
trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.
If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the
limb while holding the saw. This should release the
“pinch” and free the saw.
If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
See Figures 8 - 9.
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and
limbs up to 15 cm in diameter. For best results, observe
the following precautions.
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which
