SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Donotoperatepolesawinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Polesaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the polesaw. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose the polesaw to rain or wet locations. Water entering a polesaw will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to provide
protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric lines. Consult
local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure before operating the polesaw.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a polesaw.
Donotuseapolesawwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
medication. A moment of inattention while operating polesaws may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the polesaw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the polesaw in unexpected situation.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
SERVICE
• Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a
qualiedservicetechnician.For service we suggest you return the product to your nearest
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.

SAFETY RULES
POLESAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the polesaw. Use the correct polesaw for your application. The correct
polesaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the polesaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any polesaw that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the tool from the battery before making any adjustments changing
accessories, or storing polesaws. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the polesaw accidentally.
• Store idle polesaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the polesaw or these instructions to operate the polesaw. Polesaws are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain polesaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the polesaw’s operation. If damaged, have the polesaw
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained polesaws.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the polesaw, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
polesaw for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the polesaw may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the polesaw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the polesaw, always t the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the polesaw will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the polesaw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the polesaw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
• Do not use the polesaw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

5
SAFETY RULES
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power lines. Contact with
or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the polesaw.
• Always use head protection when operating the polesaw overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
• Contact of the guide-bar tip with any object should be avoided.
• Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious injury.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury
by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a polesaw in a tree. Operation of a polesaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Alwayskeepproperfootingandoperatethepolesawonlywhenstandingonxed,secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance
or control of the polesaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood bers are released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
polesaw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the polesaw with one hand on the rear handle and one on the shaft, with the
polesaw switched off and away from your body. Proper handling of the polesaw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles can cause the
user to lose control of the polesaw.
• Cut wood only. Do not use polesaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
polesaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the polesaw for
operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this polesaw. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the polesaw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the polesaw.
Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the
guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an
instant. The result is a lightning fast reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which can
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As
a polesaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
•Maintainarmgrip,withthumbsandngersencirclingthepolesawhandles,withboth
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go
of the polesaw.
• Onlyusereplacementbarsandchainsspeciedbythemanufacturer.Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
• Push and Pull — This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where
contact is made with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar, and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

OPERATION
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT (See Figure 3)
Use Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is designed for chains and chain oilers, and is formulated to
perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
NOTE: Polesaw comes from the factory with no bar and chain oil added. Level should also be
checked after every 30 minutes of use and relled as needed.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil
tank after each use then run for one minute. When storing the unit for a long period of time (three
months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar
sprocket.
IMPORTANT
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available recycling and/disposal options.
• Remove oil cap. Open the removable cover (1) and then rotate the cover counterclockwise
to remove it (2).
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank (3).
• Wipe off excess oil.

OPERATION
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (See Figure 6-7)
• 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 rmly
grip the rear handle while your left hand has a rm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit rmly 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
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth
sawing motion.
• Make a shallow rst 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 rst 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 nal cut close to trunk.
NOTE: For second and nal 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 light down-ward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can
result.
• 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 from the polesaw.
• 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)
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6 in. (15.2 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 specic situation. As the angle of the polesaw shaft to ground increases the
difculty of making the rst cut (from underside of limb) increases.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches more room to fall.
• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a rm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
OPERATION
• Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite of
the branch you are cutting.
• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.
• Do not make the ush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out
to reduce the weight.
• Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
• Do not use the polesaw for felling or bucking.
• To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. (15 m) of overhead electrical lines.
• Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the battery. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result
in serious personal injury.
All polesaw service, other than the items listed in the instruction manual maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent polesaw service personnel. (For example, if improper tool is
used to hold the ywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the ywheel could
occur and subsequently could cause the ywheel to burst).
