FILLING WITH CUTTING CHAIN OIL
WARNING
: Always remove the battery pack from the product
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when the product is not in use.
WARNING
: Use of old oil can result in damage to the oil pump,
bar and chain! Never use old oil to lubricate the chain.
WARNING
: Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the oil
or the pole saw. Oil may spill and cause a fire.
CAUTION
: Chain oil is released into the environment during
operation, therefore, special biodegradable vegetable oil should be
used as a chain oil.
CAUTION
: Only operate the tool with sufficient chain oil. Check
the oil volume via the oil level indicator.
CAUTION
: Take care not to spill any oil and immediately wipe up
any spilt oil to avoid risk of slipping.
Slowly unscrew the tank cap, remove it and save it (Fig 7
①
).
Fill carefully with chain lubricating oil to about 0.4’’ (10mm)
below the bottom edge of the filler (Fig 7
②
).
Replace the tank cap and screw it tight ( Fig 7
③
).
NOTE
: Check and refill the oil tank each 15-minute running time.
The oil level can be seen in the oil level indicator. Ensure that no dirt
gets into the oil tank.
OPERATING
TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
FULLY CHARGE BEFORE FIRST USE.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from the product
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when not in use. Removing the battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
TO INSTALL
(Fig. 8)
Align the ribs of the battery pack with the mounting slots in th pole
saw’s battery port. Insert the battery pack until it snaps into position.
TO REMOVE
(Fig. 9)
Press the battery-release button; the battery pack will disengage from
the latch. Remove the battery pack from the pole saw.
Before you start the unit, make sure the pole saw is not
contacting any object.
TO TURN THE TOOL ON
Push the lock button in with your thumb and then squeeze the trigger
switch with your fingers. (Once the tool is running, you can release the
lock button). To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger switch.
WARNING:
To guard against injury, observe the following:
Read instruction manual before using, save instruction
manual.
Keep hands away from chain.
Keep hands on handles. Don’t overreach.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or limbs
under tension, because slender and tense material may catch the saw
and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance or spring back.
Do not operate pole saw cut vines and/or small underbrush.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this type of tool to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Proper Cutting Stance
Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position to
withstand any kickback force. Your right hand should be gripping the
handle and positioned firmly against your body for added support.
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
CAUTION:
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil or, if not
available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted. One
minute of use will consume approx. 0.15 fl. oz. (5ml) of oil.
NOTE:
It is normal for oil to seep from the pole saw when not in
use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer) be sure
the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar
sprocket.
WARNING:
Do Not use the pole saw with any type of accessory
or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
WARNING:
Hold the extended-reach pruner by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. A saw chain contacting a ″live″ wire may make exposed
metal parts of the extended-reach pruner ″live″ and could give the
operator an electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious
injury or electric shock resulting in death.

A good, firm grip on the pole saw with both hands will help you
maintain control. Grip the rear handle with your right hand whether you
are right or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left hand over and
around the pole shaft.. A firm grip together with positioning handle
against your body will help you maintain control of the saw. Don’t let
go.
Do not operate pole saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold; this is
extremely dangerous.
