wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer.
Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For
more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
–
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
–
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
–
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
–
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this machine.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-
operated (cordless) machine.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodied 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 machines to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a machine 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 machine.
Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal
injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELESCOPIC PRUNING SAW
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain and the kickback guard when the
pruning saw is operating. Before you start the pruning saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating pruning saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Do not reach underneath the lumber.
The guard cannot protect you from the saw chain
below the lumber.
Check the kickback guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
pruning saw if the guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the kickback guard into the open position.
If the pruning saw is accidentally dropped, the
guard
may be bent. Raise the guard and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the
saw chain or any other part, in all angles.
Check the operation of the kickback guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Kickback guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Do not at any time point the lower part or the tip of the pruning saw towards anyone or
anything other than the wood to be cut.
The saw chain on the bottom part of the guide bar
is not covered by a guard, which may cause serious damage or injury if it points to something
or someone.
Always hold the pruning saw rmly with two hands.
Holding the pruning saw with only one
hand increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. Refer to chapter
“Proper
Grip on Handles”
later in this manual.
Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring.
Saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the machine “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Do not use the pruning saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs, and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree.
Operation of a pruning saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the pruning saw only when standing on xed,
secure, and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the pruning saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back.
When the tension in
the wood bers is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
pruning saw out of control.
6
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the pruning saw by the handle with the pruning saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the pruning saw always t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the pruning saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance of kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces may lead to unsafe handling and/or loss of control of the machine.
Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use pruning saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials.
Use of the
pruning saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention
of kickback (Fig. 1, 2, 3):
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.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sud-
den reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw, which could result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw. As
a pruning saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from acci-
dent or injury.
Kickback is the result of machine misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below:
Fig. 1
Rotational
kickback
Fig. 2
Kickback
danger zone
7
•
Hold the pruning saw with both hands,
thumbs and ngers around the handles
of the pruning saw. Bring your body
and arms in a position where you can
withstand the kickback. If appropriate
measures are taken, the operator can
control the kickback forces (Fig. 4).
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the pruning saw.
•
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height.
This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the pruning saw in unexpected
situations.
•
Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.
Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Causes and operator prevention
of pull-in (Fig. 5):
WARNING
•
Pull-in occurs when the chain on the bottom
of the bar is suddenly stopped or signicantly
slowed when it is pinched, caught or
encounters a foreign object in the wood. The
reaction of the chain pulls the saw forward
and may cause the operator to lose control,
which, in turn, may cause serious or fatal
injury.
•
Pull-in usually occurs when the bucking
spikes of the saw are not held securely
against the branch or limb and the chain is not rotating at full speed before it contacts the
wood.
Fig. 3
Pinch
Kickback
Fig. 5
8
•
To reduce the risk of pull-in:
–
Cut with a sharp, properly tensioned chain.
–
Always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed and with the bucking spikes in contact
with the wood.
–
Use caution when cutting small-size brush, branches and saplings which may easily catch
the chain, spring towards you or pull you off balance.
–
Do not use the saw with a damaged or missing guard.
Additional Safety Warnings
Pull (Fig. 6)
– The reaction force is always
opposite to the direction the chain is moving
where wood contact is made. Thus, the oper-
ator must be ready to control the PULL when
cutting on the bottom edge of the bar.
Low Kickback Saw Chain
T
he rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each
cutter can minimize the force of a kickback
reaction by preventing the cutters from digging
in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use
a replacement chain that is equivalent to the
original chain or has been certied as a low
kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American National Standard for Power
Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain saws - Safety Requirements) when tested on the representa-
tive sample of pruning saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1.
CAUTION
•
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution should be used.

Before Using the Telescopic Pruning Saw:
a. Remove the battery pack.
b. Conrm that the kickback guard is undamaged and functioning properly.
c. Make sure that the chain is properly mounted and correctly tensioned: Lift the tip of the
guide bar up to check for any sagging in the saw chain. The saw chain is correctly tensioned
when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar and the saw chain is snug, but it can
be turned by hand without binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the chapter
“
Adjusting the Chain Tension
” in the “
Maintenance
” section of this manual for instructions.
d. Check the tightness of the side-cover knob before use. If it is loose, securely tighten the
side-cover knob by turning it clockwise.
e. Check the sharpness of the cutting teeth of the saw chain.
f. Make sure the saw chain is well lubricated.
g. Stand upright and hold the pruning saw in a relaxed position.
h. Make sure the saw chain is not touching the ground or any other objects.
i. Hold the saw rmly – refer to chapter “
Proper Grip on Handles
” below.
j. Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing. Watch out for obstacles such as
tree stumps, roots, and ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.
k. Always make a trial cut in scrap material before making an accurate cut.
Preparation for Cutting
Refer to safety instructions earlier in this manual for appropriate safety equipment.
Work Area Precautions
•
Cut only wood or materials made from wood. Do not cut sheet metal, plastics, masonry, or
non-wood building materials.
•
Never allow children to operate the pruning saw.
•
Allow no person, who has not read this Owner’s Manual or received adequate instructions for
the safe and proper use of this saw, to use this saw.
•
During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between workers.
Tree branches should not be trimmed in a manner that would endanger any person, strike
any utility line, or cause any property damage. If a branch does make contact with any utility
line, stay clear of the tree and the line and notify the utility company immediately.
•
Always operate the saw with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
•
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difcult to control against kickback
forces.
•
Do not prune trees near electrical wires or buildings.
•
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
21
Proper Grip on Handles
•
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
•
With the saw on a rm, at surface, hold the
saw rmly by the main handle with one hand.
The ngers should encircle the handle. Use
your other hand to grab the auxiliary gripping
area from the side, as shown in Fig. 14.
•
In the extended position, hold the saw rmly
by the main handle with one hand and the
auxiliary handle with the other hand, as
shown in Figure 14.
Basic Cutting
WARNING
Always be sure of your footing and hold the pruning saw rmly with both
hands while the motor is running. Practice cutting a few small logs using
the following technique to get the “feel” of using your saw before you begin a major sawing
operation.
a. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.
b. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start the saw. Let the saw chain reach
the full speed before beginning the cut.
c. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light pressure,
letting the saw do the work.
d. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the end of the
cut.
e. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the saw chain to stop.
WARNING
When the saw chain is stopped due to pinching during cutting, release the
trigger switch; remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then
restart the pruning saw.
WARNING
Do not pull the saw chain with your hand when it is bound by the sawdust.
Serious injury could result if the saw starts accidentally. Press the saw
chain against the wood, move the saw back and forth to discharge the debris. Always remove
the battery pack before cleaning. Wear heavy protective gloves when handling the saw chain.
WARNING
Never start the pruning saw when it is in contact with the wood. Always
allow the saw to reach full speed before applying the saw to the wood.
NOTE:
For better performance, do not cut a branch with a diameter greater than 5-7/8 in.
(15 cm).

Limbing
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen
tree. When limbing, leave larger limbs to
support the log off the ground. Use the pruning
saw to remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated in Fig. 15.
WARNING
There is an extreme danger
of kickback during the
limbing operation. Be extremely cautious and
avoid contacting the log or other limbs with the
tip of the guide bar.
WARNING
The saw is not suitable for
bottom-up cutting as its
kickback guard must not be lifted during
operation. Never use it to cut the support
branches under tension.
NOTE:
For better performance, do not cut a branch with a diameter greater than 5-7/8 in.
(15 cm).
Pruning (Fig. 16)
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.
•
Work slowly, keeping your hand on the
pruning saw with a rm grip. Always make
sure your footing is secure and your weight is
distributed evenly on both feet.
•
Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely
dangerous. Leave this operation for
professionals.
•
Do not cut above shoulder height as a saw
held higher is difcult to control against
kickback.
•
When pruning trees, be aware of the risk of
stripping the bark from the main limb or trunk
when the cut is made next to the main limb or trunk.
WARNING
If the limbs to be pruned are above shoulder height, hire a professional to
perform pruning. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
For better performance, do not cut a branch with a diameter greater than 5-7/8 in.
(15 cm).
Bucking a Log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is rm and your
weight is evenly distributed on both feet. The log should be supported along its entire length.
Follow these simple directions for easy cutting.
WARNING
Keep the cutting area clear. Make sure that no objects can contact the
guide bar nose and chain during cutting. This can cause kickback.

Overbucking (Fig. 17a)
Begin on the top side of the log with the
bottom of the saw against the log, exert light
pressure downward. Note that the saw will tend
to pull away from you. Engage the pruning
saw bucking spikes against the log whenever
possible.
Make sure that the log is supported along its
entire length before you make a cut from the
top (overbucking) as shown in Fig. 17b.
NOTE:
For better performance, do not cut a log
with a diameter greater than 5-7/8 in. (15 cm).
•
When bucking on a slope, always stand on
the uphill side of the log.
•
To maintain complete control when cutting
through, release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relaxing the grip on
the pruning saw handle. Don’t allow the chain
to contact the ground. After completing the
cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you
move the saw. Always stop the motor before
moving from tree to tree.

c. Place the chain-drive links into the guide-bar
groove. Position the chain so there is a loop
at the back of the guide bar (Fig. 18d).
d. Place the loop around the sprocket.
NOTICE
When looping the saw chain onto
the sprocket, make sure that the
direction of the saw chain cutters match the
cutter pattern and rotation direction arrow on
the housing. If they face in opposite directions,
turn over the saw chain and guide bar
assembly.
e. Lift the kickback guard. Place the guide bar
on the mounting surface by sliding the guide-
bar slot over the screw (Fig. 18e).
f. Replace the side cover and lightly tighten the
side-cover knob by turning it clockwise, but

g. Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for
sag (Fig. 18g). Hold the tip of the guide bar
up and tighten the side-cover knob securely
and fold the tab. The chain is automatically
tensioned now. The chain is correctly
tensioned when there is no sag on the
underside of the guide bar and the chain is
snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding (Fig. 18h).
NOTICE
If chain is too tight, it will not
rotate. Loosen the side-cover
knob slightly. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the side-cover knob securely. Assure
that the chain will rotate without binding.
Adjusting the Chain Tension
a. Stop the saw and remove the battery pack
before adjusting the chain tension.
b. Loosen the side-cover knob. This will release
the tension pin (shown in Fig. 18e) and
loosen the chain tension. Lift, pull and push
the guide bar to help adjust chain tension,
then retighten the side-cover knob securely.
Assure that the chain will rotate 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. (1.3 mm) out of the bar
groove (Fig. 19a).
•
A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar
and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding. The chain must be re-
tensioned whenever the ats of the drive links do not sit in the bar groove (Fig. 19b).

NOTICE
New chains tend to stretch; check chain tension frequently and tension as
required.
NOTICE
A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too tight upon cooling. Check the cold
tension before next use.
Chain Maintenance
WARNING
Remove the battery pack before performing any maintenance. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Always wear gloves when handling the saw chain. The chain is sharp and
may contain burrs.
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast-cutting chain will provide kickback
reduction when properly maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortlessly, even with very little pressure.
Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain cutter leads to increased physical
strain, increased vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results and increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the saw chain needs to be maintained properly. When the wood
chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood during cutting,
or the chain cuts to one side are the indicators that the chain requires sharpening. During
maintenance of your saw chain, consider the following:
•
Improper ling angle of the side plate can increase the risk of a severe kickback.
•
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low increases the potential for kickback. Not low enough
decreases cutting ability.
•
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and stones, or have been abraded by mud
or sand on the wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualied service technician.
NOTICE
Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the chain. If signs
of wear or damage are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket
replaced by qualied service technician.
Sharpen the Cutters
Be sure to le all cutters (Fig. 20a) to the
specied angles and to the same length, as fast
cutting can be obtained only when all cutters
are uniform.
a. Remove the battery pack. Wear gloves for
protection.
b. Properly tension the chain prior to
sharpening. Refer to the section: “
Adjusting
the Chain Tension
” earlier in this manual.
c. Use a 1/8ʺ (3.2 mm) diameter round le and
holder (available separately). Do all of your
ling at the middle position of the guide bar.
d. Keep the le level with the top plate of the
tooth. Do not let the le dip or rock.
Fig. 20a
Top plate
Side plate
Depth

e. Keep a correct sharpening angle of 30°
between the le and the saw chain (see
Fig. 20b & 20c). Always use a le holder
(available separately) when sharpening saw
chains by hand. File holders have markings
for the sharpening angle.
f. Using light but rm pressure, perform a
stroke towards the front corner of the tooth.
Lift the le away from the steel on each
return stroke.
g. Make a few rm strokes on every tooth. File
all left hand cutters in one direction. Then
move to the other side and le the right-hand
cutters in the opposite direction. Occasionally
remove lings from the le with a wire brush
(Fig. 20d).
WARNING
Improper chain sharpening
increases the potential of
kickback.

Failure to replace or repair
a damaged chain can cause
serious injury.

Top Plate Sharpening Angles
(Fig. 20e)
CORRECT 30°- This optimal angle can be
obtained only when the specied les and
proper setting are used. File holders are
marked with guide marks to align the le
properly to produce the correct top plate angle.
LESS THAN 30°- The tooth is too dull for
cutting.
MORE THAN 30°- The edge of the cutting tooth
is feathered and dulls quickly.
Side Plate Angle (Fig. 20f)
CORRECT 40° - The optimal angle can be
produced automatically if the correct diameter
le is used in the le holder.
HOOK - “Grabs” and dulls quickly. Increases
potential of KICKBACK. Results from using a
le with a diameter that is too small, or a le
held too low.
BACKWARD SLOPE - Needs too much feed
pressure, causes excessive wear to bar and
chain. Results from using a le with a diameter
too large, or a le held too high.
Depth-Gauge Clearance
a. The depth gauge should be maintained at a
clearance of 0.025 in. (0.6 mm), as shown in
Fig. 20g. Use a depth gauge tool (available
separately) to check the depth gauge
clearances.
b. Check the depth-gauge clearance every time the chain is led.
Use a at le and a depth-gauge jointer (both available separately) to lower all gauges
uniformly (Fig. 20h). Use a 0.025 in. (0.6 mm) depth-gauge jointer.
Depth-gauges must be adjusted with the at le in the same direction the adjoining cutter was
led with the round le. Use care not to contact the cutter face with the at le when adjusting
depth gauges.

Guide Bar Maintenance
The bar should be cleaned every day of use
and checked for wear and damage. Feathering
or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of
bar wear. Such faults should be smoothed with
a le as soon as they occur. A bar with any of
the following faults should be replaced:
•
Wear inside the bar rails that permits the saw
chain to lay over sideways.
•
Bent guide bar.
•
Cracked or broken rails.
•
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its
tip. The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a grease syringe to extend the guide bar life.
Use a grease syringe to lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the lubricating hole (Fig.
21) on each side of the bar. Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain
groove are free from impurities.
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on the saw to distribute the wear for
maximum bar life.
a. Remove the guide bar and chain from the pruning saw, following the section “
Replacing the
Bar and Chain
”.
b. Turn the guide bar over. The bottom of the bar will be on the top (Fig. 21).
c. Adjust the chain tension, following the section “
Adjusting the Chain Tension
”.
