ELECTRICAL SAFETY
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR POLE
PRUNERS
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Wear head, and eye protection and personal
protective equipment (PPE), including correct
clothing.
2. Keep bystanders, especially children at a safe
distance during operation of the saw chain pole
pruner.
3. 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 pruner
may result in serious personal injury.
4. Carry the extended-reach pruner by the handle with
the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the extended-reach pruner, always t the saw chain
device cover. Proper handling of the extended-reach
pruner will reduce possible personal injury from the
saw chain.
5. Hold the extended-reach pruner 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 pruner ″live″ and could give the operator an
electric shock.
6. Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the saw chain.
7. Do not use the extended-reach pruner in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
8. 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.
9. Always use two hands when operating the extended-
reach pruner. Hold the extended-reach pruner with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
10. Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach pruner overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The
Pole Saw’s plug will t into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the plug does not t fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use
of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will t into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change or alter
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
2. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-

interfere with active or passive medical implants. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend
persons with medical implants to consult their physician
and the medical implant manufacturer before operating
this unit.
Kickback can occur when the tip of the guide bar
touches an object or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain inside of the cut. Tip contact can
kick the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
can push the bar rapidly towards the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause a loss in control of the saw,
increasing the chances of serious personal injury. Do
not rely on the safety devices built into the saw.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures. These conditions can be
minimized with the following steps:
REDUCING KICKBACK
WARNING:
The danger of a kickback is greatest when attempting
to cut near or with the guide bar tip. Always apply the
saw as atly as possible in order avoid a loss of control
during operation.
1. Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers
encircling the pole saw handles. Both hands should
be on the saw with your body and arms in a position
to resist kickback forces.
2. Do not overreach and keep the work area free from
obstructions.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specied by
Senix. Replace dull blades as necessary.
4. Do not let the tip of the guide bar contact any
surfaces.
5. Keep proper tension on the blade at all times. Check
the tension at regular intervals.
6. Cuts should only take place while the chain is moving
at full speed. Do not turn the saw ON or OFF in
the middle of a cut. Use extreme caution when re-
entering a previous cut.
7. Cut one branch at a time. Do not attempt plunge or
bore cuts. Watch for shifting logs or other external
forces that could close a cut and pinch the chain.
8. Make a precut on the opposite side of the log to
avoid the blade from being pinched during operation
as another safeguard against kickback.

SAWING TECHNIQUES
• Saw off the lower branches on the tree rst. By doing
so, it is easier for the cut branches to fall to the
ground.
• At the end of the cut, the weight of the saw suddenly
increases for the user since it is no longer being
supported by a branch. There is a risk of losing
control of the saw, so make sure to stay alert during
the entire sawing operation.
• Only pull the saw out of a cut while the saw is
running. By doing so, you prevent the chain from
jamming in the wood.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. Do not saw
into the branch formations (where the tree branches
outwards). This will impede the tree’s ability to heal.
• For sawing off smaller branches, place the stop face
of the saw on the branch. This prevents unwanted
movements of the saw at the beginning of the cut.
While applying light pressure, guide the saw through
the branch from top to bottom.
• For sawing off larger branches, rst make a relief
cut. Saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from the
bottom to top using the top side of the guide bar. Then
saw from top to bottom for the other 2/3 using the
bottom side of the guide bar.
• Saw off longer branches in sections in order to
maintain control over the location of impact.
• When working on an incline, always stand above or
to the side of the branch being sawed. Hold the tool
as close as possible to your body. By doing so, you
maximize your balance.
WARNING:
When removing branches, hold the pole saw at an
angle ranging from 0 to 60° in order to avoid being
struck by a falling branch. The saw should never be
operated directly above head.

SAW CHAIN LUBRICATION
FILLING THE OIL TANK
The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to
ensure safe operation.
Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank to prevent
clogging in the oil nozzle.
Because the saw chain heats up during operation, its
length can uctuate. Check the chain tension every
10 minutes of operation and adjust as necessary,
particularly for new saw chains.
The pole saw features automatic chain lubrication.
Never operate the pole saw without saw chain oil. The
use of the pole saw without enough saw chain oil will
damage the unit.
1. Place the saw on a level surface. Clean the area
around the oil tank cap and then open it.
IMPORTANT: Only use SAE300 saw chain oil. Other
oils will run the risk of damaging the unit and voiding the
warranty. Take note of temperature conditions. Using
the saw at various temperatures requires the use of
differing oils. To ensure a sufcient layer of lubricant at
lower temperatures, use liquid oil (low viscosity).
TIP: The saw chain shortens when cooling down.
Loosen the saw chain after work is completed to
elongate the chain’s life and prevent possible damage.
3. Wearing protective gloves, wrap the saw chain
around the chain bar, making sure that the teeth are
aimed in the direction of rotation. The chain should
be properly set in the slot running along the entire
outside edge of the chain bar.
4. Place the saw chain around the sprocket while lining
up the slot in the chain bar with the internal bolt at the
base of the saw and the chain tensioning pin in the
chain bar’s pin hole. The chain tensioning pin may
need adjustment to properly align with the hole in the
chain bar. Use a at-blade screwdriver to turn the
chain tensioning screw to adjust the location of the
pin until it ts in the chain bar.
5.Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to
preliminarily tighten the chain bar enough that it stays
in place.
6. Install the step washer and locking nut. Using the
supplied wrench, turn the locking nut clockwise to
tighten it. DO NOT overtighten.
2. Fill the oil tank with 2.04 oz. (60 ml) of saw chain and
bar oil.
3. Close the oil tank cap.
7. Check the chain tension by pulling the saw chain
away from the chain bar. A properly tensioned chain
should have roughly 0.08 inch (2 mm) of distance
between itself and the bar guide.
8. If adjustments are needed, loosen the bar adjustment
locking nut one full turn.
9. To adjust the saw chain tension, turn the chain
tensioning screw. Turning the screw clockwise
increases the tension while turning it counter-
clockwise decreases tension. A properly tensioned
chain should have no sag and should only be able to
be pulled 0.08 inch (2 mm) away from the chain bar
of the saw.
10. Once the chain is properly tensioned, tighten the bar
adjustment locking nut. DO NOT over-tension the
chain: this will lead to excessive wear and reduces
the life of both the bar and chain.

CUTTING THIN BRANCHES
STARTING AND STOPPING
IF ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PRODUCT:
CUTTING THICK BRANCHES
• Thin branches can be cut off with a single cut.
• To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling, cut
the branch off in several pieces.
When cutting larger branches, the following four cuts
are necessary:
• First cut into the branch from below, outside of the
location where you intend to cut off the branch.
• The cut should go one third to halfway through the
branch (1).
• Cut into the branch from the top, making sure it’s
outside from where the branch is to be sawed (2).
• To keep stump and branch from splintering, do a stub
undercut below branch (3).
• Cut off the stump with one clean cut from top to
bottom. If desired, seal the cut with a suitable
compound (4).
• When nished cutting, turn off the Pole Saw and
disconnect its power supply after use.
• Clean, then store the appliance indoors out of
children’s reach.
• Make sure the power cord is located to the rear, away
from the chain and wood, and kept free of branches
during cutting.
• Hold the Pole Saw to the side of your body.
• Keep a rm, steady pressure on the Pole Saw while
working. Do not try to force the Pole Saw through
the wood, let the chain do the work. Use the gripping
teeth to apply minimal leverage pressure.
• Use caution when reaching end of cut. The Pole
Saw’s weight may change unexpectedly as it cuts free
from the wood. Always remove the Pole Saw from a
wood cut while it is running.
Do not operate the Pole Saw with arms fully extended
or attempt to saw areas that are difcult to reach.
To turn ON, hold the pole saw rmly with both hands.
Press and hold the safety switch located on the left-
hand side of the rear handle above the main power
trigger.
Press the trigger to turn it ON. The safety switch can
now be released. To turn OFF, release the ON/OFF
trigger switch.

REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN AND CHAIN
BAR
1. Place the saw body on a rm and level surface.
2. Using the supplied wrench, turn the chain sprocket
cover nut counter-clockwise to loosen it. Remove the
nut and cover.
3. Wearing protective gloves, wrap the saw chain around
the chain bar, making sure that the teeth are aimed in
the direction of rotation. The chain should be properly
set in the slot running along the entire outside edge of
the chain bar.
4. Place the saw chain around the sprocket while lining
up the slot in the chain bar with the internal bolt at
the base of the saw and the chain tensioning pin in
the chain bar’s pin hole. The chain tensioning pin may
need adjustment to properly align with the hole in the
chain bar. Use a at-blade screwdriver to turn the
chain tensioning screw to adjust the location of the pin
until it ts in the chain bar.
5. Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to
preliminarily tighten the chain bar enough that it stays
in place. While holding the bar still, place the cover
back onto the saw. Make sure the tab properly lines
up with the slot on the body of the saw.
6. Install the collar and locking bolt. Using the supplied
wrench, turn the locking nut clockwise to tighten it. DO
NOT overtighten. Adjust the chain tension.

STORAGE
TRANSPORTATION
1. Check the chain tension by pulling the saw chain away
from the chain bar. A properly tensioned chain should
have roughly 0.08 inch (2 mm) of distance between
itself and the bar guide.
2. If adjustments are needed, loosen the bar adjustment
locking nut one full turn.
3.Toadjustthesawchaintension,turnthechaintensioning
screw. Turning the screw clockwise increases the
tension while turning it counter-clockwise decreases
tension. A properly tensioned chain should have no
sag and should only be able to be pulled 0.08 inch (2
mm) away from the chain bar of the saw.
4. Once the chain is properly tensioned, tighten the bar
adjustment locking nut. DO NOT over-tension the
chain: this will lead to excessive wear and reduces the
life of both the bar and chain.
• Clean the unit before storing.
• Store the unit with the chain protective cover installed.
• Store the tool out of reach for children and other
0.08” (2 mm)
unauthorized persons in a well-ventilated, dry and
frost-free environment.
• Protect the machine against dust and moisture.
• Cover it in order to provide added protection.

Unplug unit from power source before servicing. Severe
injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body
contact with moving chain. Cutting edges on chain are
sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.
WARNING:
SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more
safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide
bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into
wood and cutting creates only sawdust with a few large
chips, then chain is dull.
Purchase a new chain, have your chain sharpened
professionally at a qualied service center, or sharpen
the chain yourself using a proper sharpening kit. The
height difference between the cutting tip and the ridge is
the depth gauge setting.
When you sharpen the cutting tip, the depth gauge
setting between the tip and the side plate ridge will
decrease. To maintain optimal cutting performance, the
ridge has to be led down to achieve the recommended
depth gauge setting.
To sharpen the chain:
1. Using protective gloves, ensure the chain is correctly
tensioned on the guide bar.
2. Use a round le with a diameter 1.1 times the cutting
tooth depth. Make sure 20% of the le diameter is
above the cutter’s top plate.
NOTE: A le guide is available from most pole saw
retailers and is the easiest way to hold the le at the
correct position.
3. File at an angle perpendicular to the bar, and at an
angle of 25˚ to the direction of travel.
4. File each tooth from the inside towards outside only.
File one side of the chain rst then turn the saw around
and repeat the process.
• Sharpen each tooth equally by using the same
number of strokes.
• Keep all cutter lengths equal. Each time the cutting tip
is sharpened the cutting length is reduced. When the
cutter length is reduced to 0.16 inch (4 mm), the chain
is worn out and should be replaced.
• The depth gauge setting is also reduced with each
sharpening.. Every 5 sharpenings use a depth gauge
measuring tool to check the height between the
cutting tip and the ridge. When necessary, use a at
le to le down the ridge to achieve the .025 inch
depth gauge setting. Depth gauge measuring tools
are available from most pole saws retailers.
• If the saw is not functioning properly, take it to a
qualied pole saw service center to have the saw
inspected. Use only identical parts as listed in this
manual.
