Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by The manufacture of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
STARTING AND STOPPING See Figure 5
TO START THE MOTOR:
Fit the battery pack into the pole saw.
Press and hold the switch lock. This makes the switch
trigger operational.
Press and hold the switch trigger, release the switch
lock and continue to squeeze the switch trigger for
continued operation.
TO STOP THE MOTOR:
Release the switch trigger.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor
is running. Use your right hand to firmly grip the rear
handle while your left hand has a firm grip on the pole
shaft.
Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your
left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand on the
rear handle, so your body is to the left of the chain
line. Never use a left-handed (cross handed) grip, or
any stance that places your body or arm across the
chain line.
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
Be certain the collars are fully tightened before
operating equipment; check them periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 6-7
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or
shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the
underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
Make a second cut from the top side of the limb
outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through
the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be
prepared to balance the weight of the tool when the
limb falls.
Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTE: For second and final cuts (from top of limb or
branch), hold front cutting guide against the limb being
cut. This will help steady the limb and make it easier to
cut. Allow chain to cut for you; exert only slight downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain,
or motor can result.
English (original instructions)
Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed.
Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result
in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched or
trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the
limb while holding the saw. This should release the
"pinch" and free the saw.
If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance
LIMBING AND PRUNING See Figure 8-9
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and
limbs up to 15 cm in diameter. For best results, observe
the following precautions
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in
which the branch will fall.
Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not
stand directly under the branch being cut.
The most typical cutting application is to position
the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending on the
specific situation. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to
ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut
(from the underside of limb) increase.
Remove long branches in several stages.
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches
more room to fall.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a
firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
Keep the tree between you and the chain while
limbing. Cut from side of tree opposite branch you are
cutting.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or
trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to
reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedure
will prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking
To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m of
overhead electrical lines.
Keep bystanders at least 15m away.
MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN See Figure
10-12
Remove the lock knob and drivecase cover.
The bar contains a bar stud slot that fits over the bar
stud. The bar also contains a chain tension pin hole
which fits over the chain tensioning pin.
