• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach,
or stand on a ladder while sawing. (See Fig. N)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder height.
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. O)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, limb
could spring back and strike operator causing
severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from
below, in order to avoid contact of the pruning saw
20 with the ground. When sawing logs supported on
only one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3
of the diameter into the log (underbuck) and finish
the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting
or jamming of the pruning saw.
OPERATION FOR POLE SAW
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. P1-P4)
3. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only
designated grip areas when operating Pole Saw
(See Fig. P5). 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, press the Lock-out
Button, then fully press the On/off Switch (See
Fig. P6). This will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing
On/off Switch 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
Cordless Pruning Saw
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.
CLEAN RESIDUAL OIL AFTER OPERATION
Lift the Chain Guard to the maximum position for 3
to 5 times. (See Fig.G2)
NOTE: The Oil Outlet cannot be faced towards
people. The Chain and Guide bar should be faced
down.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and Guide Bar
maintenance can reduce chances of kickback.
Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This will
increase the service life of your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
