1. Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the
work area.
2. Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.
3. Always use two hands when operating the pole chain
saw. Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on
the trigger and the other hand on the pole or the auxiliary
handle.
4. Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the
saw chain is not in contact with any object.
5. Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with
grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
6. Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light

used at the rate for which it was designed.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting a limb that is under
tension. When wood tension is released, the limb could
spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury
or death.
8. During transport, hold the pole at its balance point,
with the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
9. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain

cutting. Do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than the
length of the guide bar.
12. Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of
the pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the
work area.
Kickback
mWARNING! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip
of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes
in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
AVOID CONTACTING THE GUIDE BAR TIP WITH ANY
OBJECT. In some cases, when the tip makes contact with an
object, it may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the pole chain saw, which
could result in serious personal injury.

Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.

only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
JVTWSL[LS`ILMVYL`V\\ZL[OL[VVSMVY[OLÄYZ[[PTL
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
J`JSLZI`JOHYNPUN[OLIH[[LY`WHJRMYLX\LU[S`
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at
59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage
or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working
as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably
or the electronic protection system triggers.
Place the battery pack in storage only after it has
been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads

(4 ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in
use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use.
When storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or
longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
mWARNING! 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. 25). 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 reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up

along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions

upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a user, you
should take several precautions to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
Proper Cutting Stance
࠮Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
࠮Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
࠮The most typical cutting application is to position the
\UP[H[HUHUNSLVMVYSLZZKLWLUKPUNVU[OLZWLJPÄJ
situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft

cut (from the underside of limb) increases.
Basic Cutting Procedure
This unit with the chain saw head is designed for trimming
small branches and limbs up to recommended 6.5 in.
(16.5 cm), not to exceed a Max. cut of 7.5 in. (19 cm) in
diameter depending on type of wood. Practice cutting a few
ZTHSSSPTIZ\ZPUN[OLMVSSV^PUN[LJOUPX\L[VNL[[OL¸MLLS¹VM
using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
࠮Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the
saw OFF (Fig. 26).
࠮Switch on the pole chain saw and let the chain accelerate
to full speed before entering the cut.
࠮ 2LLW[OLZH^Y\UUPUN[OLLU[PYL[PTL`V\HYLJ\[[PUN"
maintain a steady speed.
࠮Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or
unit can result.
࠮PUSH and PULL – This reaction force is always opposite
to the direction the chain is moving when it is in contact
with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to
control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the
bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
࠮Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
Pruning
Pruning is the process of trimming limbs from a live tree.
࠮Remove long branches in several stages.

branch smoothly and neatly against the main member so
the bark will grow back to seal the wound.
࠮Release the 6U6ɈZ^P[JO 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.
Limbing
Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree.
࠮You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs
from the work area often to help keep the work area clean
and safe.
࠮Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid
binding the bar and chain.
࠮Keep the tree between you and the pole chain saw while
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
If the Saw Becomes Pinched or Trapped
1. >HP[MVY[OLISHKL[VZ[VW^HP[Ä]LTPU\[LZMVY[OLZH^[V
cool, remove the battery, and wear gloves to protect your
hands from the chain teeth.
2. If you can reach the limb from the ground, lift the limb
while holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and
free the saw.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
Maintenance + Care
mWARNING! Always remove the battery before
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your
cordless pole chain saw.
࠮Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
࠮ 2LLW[OLIHYLUJHZLKPUP[ZZOLH[OL_JLW[^OLU^VYRPUN
directly on the bar or the chain.
࠮Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in
unauthorized places.
Chain Tension
Check the chain tension before using the saw when the chain
is cold. The correct tension of a cold chain is when there is no
slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but
you can rotate it by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain
will increase. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm
chain will hang approximately 0.050 in. (1.25 mm) out of the
bar groove (Fig. 28). Be aware that a chain tensioned while
warm, may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension”
before next use. The chain must be re-tensioned whenever the

Nuts and Screws
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are tightened
securely. Check that the telescoping lock and assembly lock
are intact and in proper working order.
Chain Sharpening
mWARNING! To ensure that the saw works safely and

well-sharpened. It is highly recommended to replace 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 carefully performed. Any work on the chain

Guide Bar Maintenance
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over on the
saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. Feathering or
burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear. You
