SAW CHAIN : Check the tension of the saw and the condition of the blades. The sharper the saw chain is,
the easier and more manageable operations will be. The same applies to chain tension. Check the tension
every 10 minutes of operation to maximize safety. New saw chains in particular are subject to changes
due to the heat created by operation.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING : Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate close-fi tting protective clothing
such as chainsaw-protective pants, gloves and slip-resistant foot protection. Wear a safety helmet with
integrated hearing protection and a face guard to provide protection against falling and recoiling
branches.
4.4 FIRST USE
Check the battery
WARNING ! Read the « SAFETY INSTRUCTION » section at the
beginning of this manual including all text under subheading
therein before using this product.
The battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase.
Before using the product for the fi rst time, place the battery
in the charger and charge it fully.
Pay particular attention using the machine for the fi rst time : focus and dedicate all your attention to this
fi rst use. Make the fi rst trial on a free space with no obstacle and no surrounding element
4.5 OPERATION
Adjusting the telescoping handle : illustration 3.5
Unlock the telescope release lever so that the pole can freely extend outwards and inwards.
Extend it to the desired length and lock the telescope release lever to hold it in place.
Head adjustment : illustration 3.4
The angle of the saw’s head can be adjusted anywhere from 0 to 30 degrees by pushing down on the
Angle Adjustment Button. If you would like to change the angle of the saw’s head, fi rst remove the
battery pack and then adjust to the desired angle.
Switching on/off : illustration 3.6 and 3.7
To turn the tool ON, push and hold the safety lock-off button with your thumb, while squeezing the
ON/OFF trigger switch. Once the trigger switch engages, you can release the safety lock-off button and
proceed with operation. The safety lock-off button reduces the risk of accidental starting.
To turn the tool OFF, release the ON/OFF trigger switch.
WARNING : Do not insert or remove the battery pack while the
trigger is pressed or while the pole saw is in motion.
Operation safety warnings
