OPERATION FOR POLE SAW
Cutting with shoulder strap (See Fig. G)
The extension pole is supplied with a shoulder strap
that gives extra support when hoisting the pole saw
in the air. Hook the shoulder strap to the extension
pole and wrap around your shoulder. The shoulder
strap can also soften the impact if the pole saw is
dropped after the completion of a cut.
Cutting with extension pole
1. Install the battery pack into the machine.
2. Before cutting a high branch, consider all the
same points detailed in the previous section
“Trimming Branches” but pay particular attention
to the likely path of the falling branch.
WARNING: Do not stand directly below a
branch being cut. Keep bystanders far away. Do
not stand on a ladder or other type of unstable
support while using the tool. Do not use the tool
near cable, electrical power or telephone lines.
Keep 3m away from all power lines. (See Fig.
H1-H4)
3. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only
designated grip areas when operating Pole Saw
(See Fig. H5) Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around Pole Saw handle and pole.
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.
Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, fully press the Lock-off
Button and Switch Trigger. This will turn Pole Saw
on. Releasing them will turn Pole Saw off. Make
sure saw is running at full speed before starting a
cut.
6. When starting a cut, place moving chain
against wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to
avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
7. Guide Pole Saw using light pressure. Do not force
Pole Saw. The motor will overload and can burn
out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
8. Remove Pole Saw from a cut with saw running
at full speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing trigger.
Make sure chain has stopped before setting Pole
Saw down.
TRIMMING A TREE (PRUNING)

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting limbs from a
living tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
Follow directions below to trim a tree.
1. Make first cut six inches from tree trunk on
underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make
this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (See
Fig. H6).
2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb. Make
second cut from above limb. Continue cut until
you cut limb off.
3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible
on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to
make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.
4. Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down
to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.
