Turn off the trigger switch.

2.  Unclip the cam-lock to release the pole (Fig. 20).

3.  Extend the pole to the desired length (Fig. 21). 
  NOTE: Push poles toward each other to shorten the pole 

or pull them away from each other to lengthen the pole. 

Only extend the pole to the minimum length required to 

reach the limb to be cut.

4.  Lock the pole in position by closing the cam-lock (Fig. 22), 

and ensure that the pole is secure. If the pole telescopes 

when the cam-lock is closed, the nut may need tightening.

WARNING! 

Failure to lock the telescopic pole cam-lock 

as directed could result in personal injury.

Tightening the Bolt

The retaining bolt may need tightening to secure the telescopic 

pole in place. 

1.  Unclip the cam-lock. Using a hex key wrench, tighten the 

cam-lock nut, then close the cam-lock. Ensure that the 

pole is secure. The wrench may be required to loosen the 

cam-lock nut if you need to adjust the pole to a different 

height (Fig. 23).
