becomes jammed, often when sawing sideward, slanted or
during lengthwise cuts.
To avoid kickback:
• Saw with guide bar at a flat angle
• Do not work with a loose, overstretched or worn out
chain
• Ensure chain is sharpened correctly
• Do not work with the tip of the guide bar
• Hold the pole saw firmly with both hands
• Use a low kickback chain
• Ensure correct chain tension
CUTTING THIN 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 (Fig.17). 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) (Fig.18).
• Cut into the branch from the top, making sure it’s outside
from where the branch is to be sawed (2) (Fig.18).
• To keep stump and branch from splintering, do a stub
undercut below branch (3) (Fig.18).
• Cut off the stump with one clean cut from top to bottom.
If desired, seal the cut with a suitable compound (4)
(Fig.18).
• When finished cutting, turn off the pole saw and
disconnect its power supply after use.
• Clean, then store the appliance indoors out of children’s
reach.
SAFE WORK
WARNING:
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 tool.
• Before beginning work and after dropping or other
impacts, inspect the pole saw in order to identify any
significant damage to the housing, the saw chain and the
guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.
• Before beginning work and regularly during work check
oil level, lubrication system and chain tension.
• Wear hearing protection and protective goggles and a
safety helmet with integrated hearing protection and
a face guard. This provides protection against falling
branches and recoiling branches.
• In order to ensure safe work, a maximum working angle
of 60°is prescribed.
• Never stand below the branch to be sawed.
• Exercise caution when sawing branches under tension or
splintering wood.
• Potential risk of injury from falling branches and flying
wood projectiles!
• If the machine is in operation, keep persons and animals
away from the danger area.
• The machine is not protected against electric shock when
coming into contact with high-voltage lines.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 feet (10 m) from
current carrying lines. Life-threatening danger from
electric shock!
• When working on an incline, always stand above or to
the side of the branch to be sawed.
• Hold the machine as close as possible to your body. By
doing so, you maximize your balance. Make absolutely
sure to wear the appropriate, close fitting protective
clothing, such as chainsaw-protective pants, gloves and
safety shoes.
• Never overwork yourself. Take a regular rest during
working.

SAWING TECHNIQUES
WARNING:
The risk of the operation may occurs, such as
the sharp tree branches may cut the user's skin,
the blade of the unit may hurt the user's body.
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this unit.
• Make sure the chain is running at full speed before
touching the branch to be cut
• 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 off the lower branches on the tree first. 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, because the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is the risk of losing
control of the saw.
• Only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain
running. By doing so, you can prevent it from getting
jammed.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar.
• IMPORTANT! Use the shoulder strap! Always use the
shoulder strap when working with the equipment. Switch
off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap
(risk of injury). And hold the pole saw firmly with both
hands.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur, stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the battery. Check that
the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
• 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, first 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.

REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN AND
GUIDE BAR
WARNING:
When handling saw chains, always wear
protective gloves.
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or
when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in
this manual. DO NOT use any other bar/chain combination.
Always include new drive sprocket when replacing chain.
This will maintain proper driving of chain.
1. Place the pole saw body on a rm and level surface.

sprocket cover.
3. Wearing protective gloves, take off the broken saw
chain or the guide bar.
4. Wind the new saw chain around the new guide bar,
making sure that the teeth are aimed in the direction of
rotation. The chain should be properly seated into the
slot running along the entire outside edge of the guide
bar.
5. Loop the saw chain around the sprocket and locate the
guide bar by matching its hole with the xing bolt on
the saw.
6. Put the sprocket cover on the original place.
7. Screw the sprocket cover nut, but not tight.
8. Adjust the chain tension according to the chapter
"ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF SAW CHAIN".
