Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ÀDPPDEOHOLTXLGVJDVHVRUGXVW Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poor maintenance.
• 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 power tool, 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 power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• For use only with battery 29462, 29472, BAF721 and other BAF series.
• For use only with charger 29482 and other CAF series.
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Re A charger that is suitable
• Us Use of any other
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips,

With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
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 pole saw.
Use pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use for cutting non-wood items.

Before assembly, remove the battery from the tool.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY (FIG.2)
• To insert the battery (1), line it up with the battery compartment (3) on the tool. Slide the
battery into the battery compartment and push until the battery snaps into place.
• To remove the battery, push the release button (2) while at the same time pulling the battery
out of the battery compartment.
W A RNI N G
To prevent accidental operation, ensure that the battery is removed and that the scabbard is in
place on the saw chain before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT (FIG.3)
Use a bar and chain lubricant (not included) with this product. It is designed for chains and chain
oilers, and is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
• Remove oil cap.
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.

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.

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 (FIG.10&11)
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth
sawing motion.

limb being cut. This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut. Allow chain to cut for you;
exert only light downward 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 disconnect from power supply.
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.
