Safety Signal Definitions

SYMBOL SIGNAL MEANING

WARNING Indicates a potential hazard which could result in serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a potential hazard which could seriously damage the tool or

cause minor to moderate injury.

IMPORTANT Following this instruction will increase satisfaction with the tool.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read and understand all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire,

and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the

warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)

power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate the power tool in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while

operating the power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

• 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 power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

Important Safety Information

Pole Saw Model PS750-092

• If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a ground

fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected

supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while

you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or

battery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on

the switch or energising 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

power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times (Fig. ). This

enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

• 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 dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from

frequent use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack, if

detachable, 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 poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

FIG. 1

Important Safety Information

Pole Saw Model PS750-092

• 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.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not

allow for safe handling and control of the tool

in unexpected situations.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Extended Reach Pole Saw Safety

• Keep all parts of the body away from the

saw chain. Do not remove cut material

or hold material to be cut when blades

are moving. 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 extended-reach pole saw may result in

serious personal injury.

• Carry the extended-reach pole saw by the

handle with the saw chain stopped. When

transporting or storing the extended-

reach pole saw, always fit the saw

chain device cover. Proper handling of the

extended-reach pole saw will reduce possible

personal injury from the saw chain.

• Hold the extended-reach pole saw by

insulated gripping surfaces only, because

the saw chain may contact hidden wiring.

A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the extended-reach

pole saw “live” and could give the operator an

electric shock.

• Do not use the extended-reach pole saw

in bad weather conditions, especially

when there is a risk of lightning. This

decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

• 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 extended-reach pole saw. Hold the

extended-reach pole saw with both hands to

avoid loss of control.

• Always use head protection when

operating the extended-reach pole saw

overhead. Falling debris can result in serious

personal injury.

Pole Saw Safety Warnings

DANGER: Contact with a moving saw

chain will result in serious personal

injury. Keep hands and body away from

moving saw chain.

DANGER: Contact with electrical wiring

during use may cause exposed metal

parts of the tool to become live, resulting

in serious personal injury. Always hold

the pole saw by the insulated gripping

surfaces during operation.

WARNING: The use of an improperly

assembled pole saw may result in serious

personal injury. Only use this tool after it

has been properly assembled according to

“Preparing for Use” in this manual.

WARNING: Moments of inattention

during operation of the pole saw may result

in serious personal injury. Before starting the

pole saw, minimize all distractions, keep body

parts away from saw chain, and make sure the

applications other that its designed

purpose may result in a hazardous

condition. The pole saw is designed solely for

cutting small wood branches.

CAUTION: To prevent accidental contact

with the saw chain during transport,

always fit the blade cover and keep hands

and fingers away from trigger area (Fig. ).

CAUTION: Prolonged use of power

tools has been reported to cause vascular,

muscular, or neurological disorders (such

as vibration white finger or Raynaud’s

syndrome). To reduce the risk of injury, follow

these instructions:

–Wear gloves and keep hands and body

warm.

–Maintain a firm grip on the pole saw,

but do not use prolonged, excessive

pressure.

–Take frequent breaks.

The vibration in normal use can differ from the

stated values depending on the material being

cut, maintenance of the cutting system, and

other factors.

Total hand vibration has been measured in

accordance with the relative standard test

method and may be used to compare one tool

to another.

Total hand vibration values may also be used

for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Preparing for Use

DANGER: To avoid serious personal

injury, do not operate the pole saw

without the guide bar, saw chain, and side

cover properly assembled.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate

the pole saw if any part is damaged or

missing.

WARNING: An electric power tool

that is plugged in can start accidentally.

Unplug the pole saw before preparing for

use or performing maintenance.

What’s in the box?

The pole saw requires some assembly before

use. These items ship with the pole saw:

• Pole Saw

• Blade cover

• Harness

After removing the pole saw from the box,

inspect it carefully to ensure no damage has

occurred during shipping and that no parts are

missing. If any parts are damaged or missing,

do not use the pole saw. Contact Oregon® to

obtain replacement parts. For country-specific

telephone numbers, see “Customer Service by

Country”.

Filling the Bar and

Chain Oil Reservoir

IMPORTANT: Bar and chain oil prevents

premature wear. Never operate the pole

saw if oil is not visible. Check oil level

frequently and fill as needed.

Bar and chain oil is required to properly

lubricate the guide bar and saw chain. The

pole saw is equipped with an automatic oiler

that deposits oil on the bar and chain when

running, keeping them properly lubricated. Use

Oregon® bar and chain oil for best results. It is

specially designed to provide low friction and

faster cuts. NEVER use oil or other lubricants

not specifically designed for use on the bar and

chain. This can lead to a clogged oil system,

which may cause premature wear of the bar

and chain.

• Place the pole saw on its side on a firm, flat

surface, so that the oil cap () is on top (Fig. ).

• Clean any debris from the cap area.

• Remove the cap.

• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the

reservoir.

• Replace the cap and make sure oil is visible in

the reservoir ().

If oil is not visible in the reservoir, additional bar

and chain oil is necessary.

• Tension the chain as described in “Tensioning

the Saw Chain” in the “Preparing for Use”

section of the manual.

IMPORTANT: The saw chain must be

properly tensioned before using. See

“Tensioning the Saw Chain” in the

“Preparing for Use” section of the

manual.

Tensioning the Saw Chain

WARNING: An electric power tool

that is plugged in can start accidentally.

Unplug the pole saw before preparing for

use or performing maintenance.

WARNING: If the chain is still loose

when the saw is at maximum tension,

replace the chain.

IMPORTANT: Only tension the saw chain

when the chain is cool. A hot chain may

contract and damage the guide bar or

chain as it cools.

Wear gloves.

• Unplug the pole saw before tensioning.

• Loosen the side cover release knob slightly,

but do not remove the side cover.

• Hold up the nose of the guide bar (Fig. ) and

turn the chain tensioning ring clockwise.

• Tighten the chain tensioning ring until the

lowest cutters underneath the bar solidly

contact the bar (Fig. ).

• Tighten the side cover release knob.

• Saw chain tension is correct when, with some

effort, a gloved hand can pull the chain

smoothly around the bar. The chain should

touch the underside of the bar rail (Fig. ).

• After a short period of use, allow the chain

to cool, unplug the pole saw and check the

tension again. Watch tension carefully for

the first half-hour of use and periodically

throughout the life of the chain readjusting as

required when the chain and bar are cool to

the touch. Never tension chain when it is hot.

Chain will stretch as a result of normal use,

however, insufficient oil, aggressive use, or

failure to perform recommended maintenance

can lead to premature stretching.

Operating the Pole Saw

General Operation

DANGER: To avoid serious personal

injury, do not overreach and do not stand

on a ladder, stepstool, or any raised

position that is not fully secured.

DANGER: To avoid serious personal

injury, do not stand directly under the

limb being worked on. Stand away so that

the limb falls safely to the ground.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

always wear proper boots, gloves, head,

ear, and eye protection.

GRIP

Always grip the tool with both hands. For right-

handed operation, grasp the extendable shaft

comfortably with the left hand and the rear

handle with the right. Wrap fingers firmly

around each handle (Fig. ).

For left-handed operation, grasp the

extendable shaft comfortably with the right

hand and the rear handle with the left (Fig. ).

Hold the pole saw at about a ° angle (Fig. );

this is the least tiring work position and helps

ensure a safe distance from falling debris.

FOOTING

Stand with both feet on solid ground, with

weight evenly spread between them.

Hold the pole saw as close as possible to the

body to maintain control (Fig. ).

USING THE HARNESS

WARNING: Always attach the harness

when operating the pole saw. Do not carry

it only with your hands.

The harness helps to balance the pole saw and

distribute the weight of the pole saw across the

body, increasing comfort for extended use.

• Remove the nut and screw from the harness

attachment ring (Fig. ).

• Push the harness attachment ring onto the

pole between handle and grip with the holes

facing upwards. Secure the harness

attachment ring with screw and nut (Fig. ).

• Fit and adjust the length of the harness for

easy operation (Fig. ).

ADJUSTING THE SHAFT LENGTH

The pole saw features an extendable shaft that

allows greater reach into taller trees.

For ease of use, extend the shaft only as much

as necessary to reach the work safely.

• Unplug the pole saw.

• Turn the extension collar counter clock-wise

() until the shaft slides freely (Fig. ).

• Slide the shaft until it is the desired length ().

• Turn the extension collar clockwise to lock the

shaft in place.

STOPPING THE POLE SAW

The pole saw will automatically stop once the

trigger switch () is released. The trigger lock-

out () will have to be depressed and the

trigger switch squeezed to restart the pole

saw (Fig. ).

STARTING THE POLE SAW

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

never defeat the interlock by taping,

wiring, or tying down the trigger lock-out.

If using the harness, put on the harness and

attach the harness clip to the attachment ring.

The pole saw is fitted with a trigger lock-out

feature. To start the pole saw, simply depress

the trigger lock-out () then fully press and

hold the trigger switch (). The trigger lock-out

can now be released (Fig. ).

NOTE: It is not necessary to maintain pressure

on the trigger lock-out once the trigger switch

is squeezed and the motor is running. The

trigger lock-out is a safety device to avoid

accidental start-up of the device.

Power Cord Use and Care

SELECTING AN EXTENSION CORD

Select an extension cord that is:

• Specifically labelled for outdoor use

• Of a wire size (AWG) heavy enough to carry

the current the full length of the cable

according to the table below

Select the gauge of extension cord based

on the desired length and the electrical

specifications found on the product label.

These are the recommended gauges based on

the length of cord.

CORD LENGTH (M) MIN. WIRE SIZE

0–15 14 AWG (1.5mm2)

16–30 12 AWG (3.0mm2)

Make sure the insulation is free of cracks and

that the plugs on both ends are undamaged.

USING THE STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET

It is important to use the strain relief bracket

for two reasons:

• It saves wear on both the power cord and the

extension cord and their plugs.

• It prevents the pole saw from becoming

unplugged from the extension cord

accidentally.

To use the strain relief bracket, bend the

extension cord into a U-shape and put it

through the hole in the rear handle. Slide the

loop of cord over the hook and tug lightly until

snug (Fig. ).

Cutting

BASIC CUTTING

DANGER: To reduce the risk of shock,

never operate this tool near any wires or

cables which may be carrying electric

current.

Electricity can arc from one point to

another. Maintain a distance of at least

 ft ( m) between the pole saw and

any electrical line carrying live current or

branch contacting an electrical line.

Before working closer than  ft ( m),

contact electric utility and make sure the

current is turned off (Fig. ).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

wear proper boots, gloves, head, ear, and

eye protection.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock, make sure the cord

insulation is intact and that the cord is in

a dry location where there is no danger of

it being cut or tripped over.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

always be sure of footing and hold the pole

saw firmly with both hands while the motor

is running.

WARNING: Falling limbs may bounce

when they hit the ground. Never work

under the limb being cut.

Observe all applicable national and municipal

rules and regulations for cutting.

Take frequent breaks to reduce the risk of

injury.

Before beginning to cut, make sure the saw

chain is properly tensioned, the automatic oiler

is functioning, and the chain is sharp.

Saw chains are made to cut wood only. Do not

use the pole saw to cut any other materials,

and do not allow the chain to come into

contact with dirt or rocks. These materials

are extremely abrasive and will wear away

protective plating from the chain in a very short

time.

Sharpen or replace the saw chain if any of these

conditions occur:

• The pressure required to make cuts increases

noticeably

• Wood chips coming off of the chain are very

fine or dust-like

Do not work with a dull chain as it will increase

the effort required to cut, cause jagged cuts,

and increase wear on the pole saw. Never force

a dull chain to cut.

Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar

against the wood. Use only light pressure,

letting the saw do the work.

10 m

FIG. 22

50 FT

(15 M)

Operating the Pole Saw

Pole Saw Model PS750-092

Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut,

releasing pressure just before the end of the

cut.

If the saw stops suddenly when cutting, remove

the saw from the cut, then resume cutting

using lighter pressure on the limb.

PRUNING

• Clear the work area. Falling limbs may bounce

or “spring back” after they hit the ground,

so it is essential to keep the ground clear to

provide multiple retreat paths.

• Plan retreat paths before beginning to cut,

and make sure there are no obstructions.

Always know how to get out of the way of

falling branches.

• Make sure bystanders or helpers are a safe

distance from falling branches. Bystanders or

helpers should not stand directly in front of or

behind the operator. See Fig.  in “Work Area

Safety”.

• Maintain solid footing and hold the pole saw

firmly with both hands. Do not overreach.

Never climb a tree or ladder to reach high

limbs.

• Prune lower limbs before pruning higher ones.

• Allow the saw chain to achieve full speed

before cutting.

• Apply light pressure to the branch.

•For long limbs (Fig. ), cut the end of the limb

first () to relieve pressure from the limb, then

prune closer to the trunk ().

• Thick limbs (greater than  inches in diameter)

can splinter or pinch the chain when making a

single cut from the top. To avoid pinching or

splintering (Fig. ), first make one shallow

relief cut on the bottom surface of the limb (),

then cut the limb all of the way through from

the top of the limb ().

• After most of the limb has been removed,

make one smooth cut near the trunk (Fig. ).
