ARNING! Failur e to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.
One minute of use will consume appr oximately 0.15 fl oz. (5 ml)
of oil.
NOT : It is normal for oil to seep fr om the saw when not in use.
T o pr event seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer),
be sur e the chain is lightly lubricated; this will pr event rust on
the chain and bar spr ocket.
W
ARNING! Be awar e of the cor d while operating the
saw. Keep the cor d away fr om the chain. Be car eful not to trip
over the extension cor d.
•
Starting, stopping, and r estarting an electric motor
repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a gr eat deal
of heat and damage the motor . T o pr otect the life of your
e lectric p ole chain s aw , always wait at least five seconds
after stopping befor e r estarting the saw.
W ARNING! Be certain that the chain is not in contact with
any object when you start the motor .
W ARNING! Keep hands away fr om chain. Keep hands
on handles. Do not overr each.
Fig. 15
KICKBACK
DANG R
ZON
A good, firm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain contr ol. When using the pole chain saw, place one
hand on the fr ont handle foam grip and the other hand on the
r ear handle with your thumbs and fingers encir cling the pole
and
handle. A firm grip combined with pr oper positioning of
the handle against your body will help you maintain contr ol
of the saw. Do not let go of the pole chain saw while it is in
operation.
W ARNING! Do not operate the pole chain saw in a
tr ee, on a ladder , or on a scaffold. Using the tool under such
cir cumstances is extr emely danger ous.
CAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after tur ning off the tool.
Do
not use the pole chain saw under wet conditions. Use
extr eme caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs
under tension because slender and tense material may catch
the saw and be whipped towar d you, pull you off balance, or
spring back.
Do
not use the pole chain saw to cut vines and/or small
underbrush.
W
ARNING! Do not let familiarity with this type of tool pr event
you fr om taking all necessary pr ecautions. Remember
that a car eless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.
W ARNING! Do not cut tr ees near electrical wir es.
W ARNING! 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
chain saw in the cut (Fig. 15). 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 r everse r eaction, which kicks the guide bar up
and back towar d the operator . If the chain saw is pinched
along the top of the guide bar , the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back towar d the operator . Either of these r eactions
can cause loss of saw contr ol, which can thr ow the operator
off balance and result in serious injury. Do not r ely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a user , you
should take several pr ecautions to keep your cutting jobs fr ee
fr om accident or injury.
1. rior to each cutting session, run thr ough the daily
checklist (see pg. 15).
2. Connect the electric pole chain saw to a working 120 V
outlet using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cor d.
3. Make a loop in the power cor d and push it up thr ough
the hole in the handle and ar ound the cor d r estraint
hook (Fig. 16), then connect the extension cor d to the
appliance cor d.

The most typical cutting application is to position the
unit at an angle of 60° or less depending on the specific
situation (Fig. 24 ). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft
to the ground incr eases, the difficulty of making the first
cut (fr om the underside of limb) incr eases.

Cutting
Tips
Proper Cutting Stance
•
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
•
Y our body should always be to the left of the chain line.
Basic Cutting Procedur e
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs
up to 7.5 in. (19.1 cm) in diameter depending on the wood
type. ractice cutting a few small limbs using the following
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw befor e you begin a
major sawing operation.
•
T ake the pr oper stance in fr ont of the tr ee with the
saw OFF (Fig. 24 ).
• Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full
speed
befor e entering the cut.
• Keep the saw running the entir e time you ar e cutting;
maintain
a steady speed.
•
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downwar d
pr essur e. If you for ce the cut, damage to the bar , chain, or
unit
can result.
• PUSH and PULL – This r eaction for ce is always opposite
to the dir ection the chain is moving when it is in contact
with the wood. Thus, the operator must be r eady to
contr ol the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the
bar
, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
• Do not put pr essur e on the saw at the end of the cut.
Pruning
runing is the pr ocess of trimming limbs fr om a live tr ee.
•
Remove long branches in several stages.
•
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches mor e
r
oom to fall.
•
When pruning tr ees, it is important not to make the
finishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the farthest lying limb. This will r educe the weight
and pr event stripping the bark fr om the main member .
• Under
cut the branch 1/3 thr ough for your first cut.
Y our second cut should over cut to drop the branch off
(Fig. 25 ). Be pr epar ed to balance the weight of the p ole
chain s aw when the limb falls.
12

First Cut
Load
Second
Cut
Either of these r eactions can cause loss of saw contr ol, which
can result in serious injury. Do not r ely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into the saw. As a pole chain saw user , you
should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs fr ee fr om
accident
or injury.
T ake the following pr ecautions to minimize kickback:
•
Befor e you start the unit, make sur e the p ole chain s aw is
1/3 Diameter
Finishing Cut
Fig. 25
•
Now make your finishing cut fr om the topside of the
branch
smoothly and neatly against the main member so
the bark will gr ow back to seal the wound.
•
Release the trigger ON/OFF switch as soon as the cut is
completed. Failur e to follow pr oper cutting pr ocedur es will
result in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched
or trapped in the limb.
Limbing
Limbing is the pr ocess of removing branches fr om a fallen tr ee.
•
Y ou should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut
limbs fr om the work ar ea often to help keep the work ar ea
clean and safe.
• Cut branches under tension fr om the bottom up to avoid
binding the p ole chain s a w.
• Keep the tr ee between you and the p ole chain s aw
while
limbing. Cut fr om the side of the tr ee opposite the
branch you ar e cutting.
If the Saw Becomes Pinched or T rapped
1.
W ait for the blade to stop, wait five minutes for the saw to
cool, unplug the power cor d , and wear gloves to pr otect
your hands fr om the chain teeth.
2. If you can r each the limb fr om the ground, lift the limb
while holding the saw. This should r elease the “pinch” and
fr ee the saw.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a pr ofessional for assistance.
Minimize Kickback
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 pole chain saw 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 r everse r eaction,
which kicks the guide bar up and back towar d the operator . If
the pole chain saw is pinched along the top of the guide bar ,
the guide bar can be driven rapidly back towar d the operator .
not contacting any object.
•
Always grip the pole and handle firmly with both hands
when
the unit is running. lace one hand on the pole and
your other hand on the molded handle with your thumbs
and fingers encir cling the pole and handle. A firm grip
combined with pr oper positioning of the handle against
your body will help you maintain contr ol of the saw if
kickback occurs.
• Make sur
e that the ar ea in which you ar e cutting is fr ee
fr om obstructions.
• Do
not let the kickback danger zone ar ea of the guide
bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction
that could be hit while you ar e operating the pole chain
s
aw
(Fig. 15 ).
•
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the ON/OFF trigger and maintain a steady cutting
speed.
•
W ear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and pr otection.
• Extend
the p ole only to the length requir ed to r each
the limb cut. Do not extend the r ear h andle above
waist height.
W
ARNING! For your safety and that of others:
• Corr ect maintenance is essential to maintain the original
efficiency and safety of the machine over time.
• Keep
all nuts, bolts , and scr ews tight to be sur e the
equipment is in safe working condition.
•
Never use the machine with wor n or damaged parts.
Damaged parts ar e to be r eplaced and never r epair ed.
•
Only use original r eplacement parts. arts that ar e not of
the same quality can seriously
damage the equipment , compr omise safety, and invalidate
the warranty.
13

W
ARNING! A lways unplug the power cor d befor e
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or r epairs to your
pole chain saw.
•
Use pr otective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Keep
the bar encased in its sheath, except when
working
dir ectly on the bar or the chain.
•
Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in
unauthorized places.
Motor Cooling
T o avoid overheating and damage to the motor , always keep
the cooling air vents clean and fr ee of sawdust and debris.
Chain T ension
Check the chain tension befor e using the saw when the chain is
cold. The corr ect tension of a cold chain is when ther e is no
slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but
you can r otate it by hand without binding.
During normal saw
operation, the temperatur e of the chain will
incr ease. The drive links of a corr ectly tensioned warm chain
will hang appr oximately 0.050 in. (1.25 mm) out of the bar
gr oove (Fig. 26). Be awar e that a chain tensioned while warm,
may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension”
befor e next use. The chain must be r e-tensioned whenever the
flats on the drive links hang out of the bar gr oove (Fig. 26).

Nuts and Scr ews
eriodically
check that all the nuts and scr ews ar e tightened
secur ely . Check that the cam-lock that contr ols the telecoping
pole is intact and in pr oper working or der .
Chain Sharpening
W
ARNING! T o ensur e that the chain saw works safely
and efficiently , it is essential that the cutting components ar e
well-sharpened. It is highly r ecommended to r eplace the
chain once it loses its ability to cut cleanly and safely .
It is possible, however, to sharpen the existing chain if the
sharpening is car efully performed. Any work on the chain and
bar requir es specific experience and special tools.
Sharpening is necessary when:
•
the sawdust looks like dust;
•
c utting becomes mor e difficult ;
•
t he cut is not straight ;
• v
ibrations incr ease.
An authorized service center will sharpen the chain using the
right tools to ensur e minimum removal of material and even
sharpness on all the cutting edges.
If you sharpen the chain yourself, use special r ound-section
files
with the right diameter depending on the type of chain
(see “Chain Maintenance T able” pg. 15). Y ou need a certain
amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting
edges.
Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 27):
• Secur
e the bar firmly , with the chain mounted, in a
suitable vice.
• Tighten
the chain if it is loose.
•
Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in the tooth at
a constant angle fr om the cutting edge.
•
Sharpen in a forwar d motion a few times and repeat this
on all the cutting edges facing the same way (right or left).
•
T o move the chain forwar d, use a scr ewdriver.
•
T urn the bar over in the vice and repeat on all the other
cutting edges.
• Check that the depth limiter tooth does not stick
out f a rther than the inspection tool and file any
pr ojecting parts with a flat file, r ounding off the edges
(Fig. 27 ).
• After sharpening, remove
all traces of filing and dust
and lubricate the chain in an oil bath. Replace the chain
whenever:
– the length of the cutting edges decr eases to 5 mm
or less;
– ther e is too much play between the links and the rivets.
