4 . Never operate while in a tree, in any awkward position,
on a ladder or any other unstable surface. You may lose
control of the Pole Saw causing severe injury.
Follow directions below to trim a tree.
1. Make sure Pole Saw is running at full speed before
making a cut. When starting a cut, place moving chain
against limb. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to avoid
possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of
the Pole Saw.
2. Make the first cut six inches away from tree trunk
on underside of a limb or branch. Use the top of the
guide bar to make this cut. Guide the Pole Saw using
light pressure to make a cut that is 1/3 of the diameter
of limb. Then make the finishing cut from the top as
shown in figure L. 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.
nOTE: If you try to cut off thick branches from the
bottom, the branch will close in and pinch the saw
chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick branches from
the top, without a shallow undercut, the branch will
splinter and pull bark from the tree.
3. Remove Pole Saw from cut while it is running at full
speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing ON/OFF switch. Make
sure chain has stopped before setting Pole Saw down.

Chain and Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover,
guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft
bristle brush. Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris.
When replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is good
practice to flip the chain bar from bottom to top.
Saw Chain Sharpening

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is not running.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure that battery is removed
from the tool before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
nOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground or a nail while cutting.
