GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify 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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a respira-
tory mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
3. 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
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool”
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
7. 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack 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.
4. 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 us-
ers.
5. 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 opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
8. Use clamps to secure your workpiece to a stable
surface. Holding a workpiece by hand or using your
body to support it may lead to loss of control.
9. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
SERVICE
1. 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 main-
tained.

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool”
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions and
the warning labels.
POLE SAW SAFETY
1. TOOL PURPOSE. The purpose of this pole saw is for
limbing trees and cleaning up branches. Do not push it
beyond its limits or capacities. Using the pole saw in a
way for which it was not designed can result in serious
injuries, machine damage, and voiding of the warranty.
2. Hold the pole saw by the insulated gripping surfac-
es only. If the pole saw contacts a live wire, the exposed
metal parts of the pole saw may become liveand could
cause electric shock. Hold the pole saw with two hands
to avoid loss of control.
3. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
The saw chain continues to move after the switch is
turned OFF. Allow the saw chain to completely stop, and
remove the battery, before clearing jammed material.
4. Keep bystanders, especially children, at a safe dis-
tance away from the saw during operation.
5. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal
protection equipment for the head, hands, legs, and feet
is recommended especially when using the pole saw
overhead. Falling debris can result in serious injury.
6. Do not operate the saw while sitting or standing in a
tree. Maintain a safe, secure stance at all times. Only use
the saw when standing on solid, safe, and level ground.
7. Use particular caution when cutting brush and young
trees. The thin material may get caught in the chain and
hit you or throw you off balance.
8. Carry the powered OFF pole saw using the handle
with the chain pointing away from your body. Always
put on the protective cover and remove the battery when
transporting or storing the pole saw. Handling the saw
with care greatly reduces the risk of accidentally touch-
ing the sharp cutting chain.
9. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free from gas, oil,
and grease. Slippery handles may lead to a loss of con-
trol.
10. Remain alert; pay attention to what you are doing
and proceed sensibly when working with an electric
tool. Do not use the machine if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
11. Inspect the saw thoroughly before use for any
damage. If any parts or pieces appear to be missing or
damaged, do not operate the saw.
12. Do not operate during adverse weather conditions,
particularly during lightening and rain. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
13. Sawing wood under tension requires an increased
amount of caution. Wood that is suddenly released from
tension can react in a completely uncontrolled manner.
This can result in severe to deadly injuries. Such work
may only be performed by trained specialists.
14. 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.
15. Always use two hands when operating the pole
saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss
of control.
16. Wait until the chain has come to a standstill com-
pletely before placing it down.
18. Any servicing should be performed by an autho-
rized service representative. If you need assistance,
contact WEN customer service at 1-847-429-9263.

POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
REDUCING KICKBACK
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 pole saw, increasing the chances of serious personal injury. Do not rely on the safety devices
built into the saw. Pole saw users should take as many precautions as possible to minimize on-site accidents. Kick-
back is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures. These conditions can be minimized with the
following steps:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the pole saw handle. Both hands should be on the saw
with your body and arms in a position to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the pole saw.
2. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the pole saw in unexpected situations.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by WEN. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the pole saw. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.

IMPORTANT: Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel using identical replacement parts. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing.
1. Polarized Plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not modify the machine
plug or the extension cord in any way.
2. Ground fault circuit interrupter protection (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit or outlet used for this power
tool to reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. Service and repair. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by a qualified service technician
using original replacement parts.
GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
The tool’s electrical system is double-insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This
eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double-insulated tools do not need
to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal components with protecting insulation.
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on
plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be
protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched OFF and removed from
the power source before inspecting the unit, making adjustments, or changing accessories.
FILLING THE AUTO-OILING SYSTEM
This pole saw features an auto-oiling system to keep the
chain and guide bar properly lubricated. The oil level window
(Fig. 3 - 1) shows the remaining oil in the pole saw. If the oil
level decreases to below one quarter capacity, refill it with
the proper bar and chain oil.
To fill the oil tank:
1. Place the saw on a level surface. Clean the area around the
oil tank cap (Fig. 3 - 2) to avoid getting dirt into the oil tank.
Once clean, remove the oil tank cap.
2. Fill the oil tank with saw chain oil. Make sure that no dirt
gets into the oil tank to avoid clogging the oil nozzle. Replace
the oil tank cap. Make sure that the cover is secure before
beginning operation.
ASSEMBLING THE GUIDE BAR & SAW CHAIN
1. Place the saw's body on a firm and level surface.
2. Turn the cover release knob (Fig. 4 - 1) counterclockwise

3. While wearing protective gloves, wrap the saw chain
around the guide bar (Fig. 5 - 1), making sure that the teeth
are aimed in the direction of rotation (Fig. 5 - 2). The chain
should be properly set in the slot running along the entire
outside edge of the guide bar.
4. Place the saw chain around the sprocket (Fig. 5 - 3) and
guide bar (Fig.5 - 4), ensuring the chain's drive links fit se-
curely into the guide bar's groove.
5. While holding the bar still, place the cover back onto the
saw. Tighten the cover release knob until it is snug but not
fully tightened, allowing for tension adjustment before final
tightening. Ensure that the tensioning pin on the back of the

NOTE: The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order
to ensure safe operation. The chain tension is optimal if
the saw chain can be lifted 1/8 inch (3mm) from the cen-
ter of the guide bar. Since the saw chain heats up during
operation, its length can therefore fluctuate. Check the
chain tension every 10 minutes of operation and adjust
as necessary, particularly for new saw chains. Slacken
the saw chain after the work is completed since it short-
ens when cooling down. In doing so, you can elongate
the chain’s life and prevent damage.
1. Check the chain tension by pulling the saw chain away
from the guide bar. A properly tensioned chain should have
roughly 1/8 inch (3 mm) of distance between itself and the
bar guide (Fig. 6).
2. To adjust the saw chain tension, loosen the guide bar by
slightly turning the cover release knob counterclockwise.
3. Set the tension of the saw chain using the chain tensioning
ring (Fig. 7 - 1). Turn the chain tensioning ring counterclock-
wise to increase the tension and clockwise to decrease the
tension.
4. Once the chain has been properly tensioned, tighten the
cover release knob.

of the extension poles by turning them counterclockwise.
2. To lock the extension poles in place, turn the shaft cou-
plings clockwise. Make sure that the couplings are securely
tightened before beginning operation.
USING THE SHOULDER STRAP
1. Hook the shoulder strap onto the shoulder strap hook (Fig.
9 - 1). The shoulder strap helps to support the weight of the
saw during transportation and operation. Only put the shoul-
der strap onto one shoulder so that you can move rapidly
away from the tool in case of danger.
WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched OFF and removed from
the power source before inspecting the unit, making adjustments, or changing accessories.

WARNING! When handling saw chains, always wear protective gloves to prevent injury.
SAW CHAIN LUBRICATION
Make sure that the pole saw is powered OFF and removed from the power source before making any adjustment.
Never operate the pole saw without saw chain oil. The use of the pole saw without enough saw chain oil will damage
the unit.
Only use dedicated bar and chain oil designed for chainsaws and pole saws. 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 sufficient layer of lubricant at lower temperatures, use lower-viscosity oil.
WARNING! Never wear the strap diagonally across
your shoulders, as you won’t be able to quickly move
away from the tool.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Before each use, check the following items to ensure safe working conditions.
POLE SAW: Before beginning work, inspect the pole saw for damage to the housing, the saw chain, and the guide
bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.
CHAIN OIL: Check the fill level of the oil tank. Also check whether there is sufficient oil available while working. Never
operate the saw if there is no oil or the oil level has dropped below the minimum oil level mark in order to prevent
damage to the pole saw. On average, an oil filling is sufficient for approximately 10 minutes of cutting operation
(depending on the duration of pauses and the density of the workpiece).
SAW CHAIN: Check the tension of the saw and the condition of the blades. The sharper the saw chain is, the easier
and more manageable operations will be. The same applies for the chain tension. Check the tension every 10 min-
utes of operation to maximize safety. New saw chains in particular are subject to changes due to the heat created by
operation. Never allow the saw chain to contact dirt or soil.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate close-fitting protective clothing, such as
protective pants, gloves and safety shoes. Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing protection and a face guard
to provide protection against falling and recoiling branches.
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. In order to ensure safe work, do not operate the saw at an angle of over 60 degrees.
2. Never stand below a branch that is being sawed.
3. Exercise caution when sawing branches under tension or branches that are splintering.
4. Make sure to safeguard against the risk of injury from falling branches and flying wood projectiles.
5. If the machine is operating, keep people and animals away from the area.
6. The machine is not protected against electric shock when coming into contact with high-voltage lines. Maintain a
minimum clearance of 30 feet from current-carrying power lines to avoid life-threatening electric shock.
7. When working on an incline, always stand above or to the side of the branch being sawed.
8. Allow the chain to cut for you. Keep the saw running at full speed for the entire duration of the cut.
PREVENTING KICKBACK
The term kickback refers to when the saw suddenly jumps up and back. This is usually caused by the workpiece
coming into contact with the guide bar tip or the clamping of the saw chain.
A kickback generates an abrupt powerful force. The saw usually reacts in an uncontrolled manner, creating the pos-
sibility of injury to the user.
The danger of a kickback is greatest when attempting to cut near or with the guide bar tip. Always apply the saw as
flatly as possible in order to avoid a loss of control during operation.

WARNING! Do not cut down trees in high wind conditions. This can result in injury and should only be per-
formed by a trained professional.
POWERING THE POLE SAW ON / OFF
1. Plug the pole saw into the power source.
To turn the tool ON: Press the trigger lock (Fig. 8 - 1) while
simultaneously pulling the power trigger (Fig. 8 - 2) to start
the pole saw.
To turn the tool OFF: Release the power trigger to stop the
pole saw. Once operation has been completed, unplug the
pole saw from the power source.
SAWING TECHNIQUES
When removing branches, hold the pole saw at an angle
ranging from 0 to 60° in order to avoid being struck by a fall-
ing branch. The saw should never be operated directly above
anyone’s 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 in-
creases 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 (Fig. 9
- 1) of the saw on the branch. This prevents unwanted move-
ments 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 (Fig. 10).

wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
2. Wipe off the housing and the plastic components us-
ing a moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong solvents or
detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components.
Certain household cleaners may cause damage, and may
cause a shock hazard.
3. Routinely clean out the dust and debris that gathers
under the tension housing, the oil outlet, and around the
bar and the chain sprocket. Otherwise it can jam up the
sprocket, the chain, and the lubrication system.
4. If the pole saw is not used for an extended period of
time, drain the chain oil from the tank. Briefly place the
chain and the guide bar in an oil bath and then wrap in
oil paper to dry.
WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the
tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.

LUBRICATION
All bearings and gears are sealed and permanently lubri-
cated. No further lubrication is required.
AUTOMATIC CHAIN LUBRICATION
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the sub-
sequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain asso-
ciated with it. For this purpose, align the guide bar tip
against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree) and
allow the pole saw to run. If an increasing amount of
oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions
properly.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
Used power tools should not be disposed of together
with household waste. This product contains electronic
components that should be recycled. Please take this
product to your local recycling facility for responsible
disposal and to minimize its environmental impact.
WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched OFF and removed from
the power source before cleaning, adjusting, or performing any maintenance or lubrication work.
