ASSEMBLING THE POLE (RM1025SPS)
1. Unfold the pole and align the two ends. Do not twist or pinch the
exposed wires (Fig. 1).
2. Align the tab on one end of the coupler with the slot on the other
end (Fig. 1).
3. Push the two ends of the coupler firmly together until the tab
locks into the slot with an audible snap.
NOTE: Once assembled, the pole cannot be disassembled.
ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE POLE SAW
This unit can be used as a chain saw or as a pole saw. Connect the
chain saw to the pole for most pruning operations. Disconnect the
unit from the pole for other operations, such as felling, limbing and
bucking trees.
Installing the Chain Saw on the Pole

2. Press and hold the throttle lockout (Fig. 7). Then, squeeze and
hold the throttle control (Fig. 7). Refer to Starting and Stopping.
3. Insert the bracket into the open area between the rear handle
and rear hand guard (Fig. 2). The bracket should fit securely in
place and hold the throttle control in the squeezed position.
4. Slide the bracket cover onto the bolt (Fig. 2).
5. Slide the washer onto the bolt (Fig. 2).
6. Thread the knob onto the bolt (Fig. 2). Turn the knob clockwise
to tighten the bracket cover securely to the bracket.
7. Connect the power cord on the chain saw to the power
receptacle on the pole (Fig. 3).
Removing the Chain Saw from the Pole
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect the power cord on the chain saw from the power
receptacle on the pole (Fig. 3).
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise to remove the knob from the
bolt (Fig. 2).
4. Remove the washer from the bolt (Fig. 2).
5. Remove the bracket cover from the bolt (Fig. 2).
6. Separate the chain saw from the bracket (Fig. 2).
ADJUSTING THE POLE LENGTH
To help maintain proper balance, only extend the pole to the
minimum length required to reach the limb being cut.

2. Slide the inner pole to the desired length (Fig. 4).
3. Flip the clamping lever down to lock the inner pole in place (Fig. 4).
