SAFETY RULES
POLESAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the polesaw. Use the correct polesaw for your application. The correct
polesaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the polesaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any polesaw that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the tool from the battery before making any adjustments changing
accessories, or storing polesaws. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the polesaw accidentally.
• Store idle polesaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the polesaw or these instructions to operate the polesaw. Polesaws are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain polesaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the polesaw’s operation. If damaged, have the polesaw
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained polesaws.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the polesaw, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
polesaw for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
• Rechargeonlywiththechargerspeciedbythemanufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• Usepowertoolsonlywithspecicallydesignatedbatterypacks. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contactaccidentallyoccurs,ushwithwater.If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. 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 polesaw may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the polesaw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the polesaw, always t the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the polesaw will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the polesaw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the polesaw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
• Do not use the polesaw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
5
SAFETY RULES
• 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.
• Always use two hands when operating the polesaw.
• Always use head protection when operating the polesaw overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
• Contact of the guide-bar tip with any object should be avoided.
• Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious injury.
• 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 polesaw in a tree. Operation of a polesaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Alwayskeepproperfootingandoperatethepolesawonlywhenstandingonxed,secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance
or control of the polesaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood bers are released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
polesaw out of control.
• 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 polesaw with one hand on the rear handle and one on the shaft, with the
polesaw switched off and away from your body. Proper handling of the polesaw 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 for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles can cause the
user to lose control of the polesaw.
• Cut wood only. Do not use polesaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
polesaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the polesaw for
operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING
(PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this polesaw. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the polesaw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the polesaw.
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 saw chain in the cut. 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 and back toward
the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which can
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As
a polesaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
•
Maintainarmgrip,withthumbsandngersencirclingthepolesawhandles,withboth
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces
.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go
of the polesaw.
•
Onlyusereplacementbarsandchainsspeciedbythemanufacturer.
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.
• Push and Pull — This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where
contact is made with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar, and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

OPERATION
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (See Figure 6-7)
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Use your right hand to rmly
grip the rear handle while your left hand has a rm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit rmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand
on the rear handle, so your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed (cross-
handed) grip, or any stance that places your body or arm across the chain line.
• Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
• Be certain the collars are fully tightened before operating equipment; check them periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth
sawing motion.
• Make a shallow rst cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb
or trunk.
• Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard from the rst cut. Continue the cut
through the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the weight of the
tool when the limb falls.
• Make a nal cut close to trunk.
NOTE: For second and nal cuts (from top of limb or branch), hold front cutting guide against the
limb being cut. This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut. Allow chain to cut for you;
exert only light down-ward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can
result.
• Release the trigger 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. If this should happen:
• Stop the motor and remove the battery from the polesaw.
• If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while holding the saw. This should
release the “pinch” and free the saw.
• If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.

LIMBING AND PRUNING(See Figure 8)
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6 in. (15.2 cm) in diameter. For
best results, observe the following precautions:
• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60° or less,
depending on the specic situation. As the angle of the polesaw shaft to ground increases the
difculty of making the rst cut (from underside of limb) increases.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches more room to fall.
• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a rm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
OPERATION
• Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite of
the branch you are cutting.
• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.
• Do not make the ush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out
to reduce the weight.
• Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
• Do not use the polesaw for felling or bucking.
• To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. (15 m) of overhead electrical lines.
• Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.

• During normal operation, the temperature of the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1/16 in. (1.3 mm) out of the bar groove.
NOTE: A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar,
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.
NOTE: New chain tends to stretch; check chain tension frequently.
CAUTION
Chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension” before next
use.

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
• Remove the lock knob and chain cover.
• The bar contains a bar stud slot that ts over the bar stud. The bar also contains a chain
tensioning pin hole that ts over the chain tensioning pin.
• Place the bar onto the bar stud so that the chain tensioning pin ts into the chain tensioning
pin hole. Fit the chain over the sprocket and into the bar groove. The cutters on the top of
the bar should face toward the bar tip, in the direction of the chain rotation.
• Replace the chain cover and install the lock knob. Tighten the lock knob nger tight only.
The bar must be free to move for tension adjustment.
• Remove all slack from chain by turning the chain tensioning bolt clockwise, assuring that
the chain seats into the bar groove during tensioning.
• Lift the tip of the bar up to check for sag. Release the tip of the bar, and turn the chain
tensioning bolt 1/2 turn clockwise.
• Repeat this process until the sag no longer exists.
• Hold the tip of the bar up and tighten the locked bolt securely.
• The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the bar, the
chain is snug, and it can be turned by hand without binding.

MAINTENANCE
NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the bar cover knob slightly and turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the bar up and retighten bar cover knob.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the oil
pump, bar, or chain.
CHAIN OILER
• Use a lubricant that is designed for chains and chain oilers and is formulated to perform over
a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
• Remove the cap and carefully pour approximately 2 oz (57 g) of bar and chain lubricant into
the bar lube reservoir.
• Replace the cap and tighten securely.
• Check and rell the bar lube reservoir every time the polesaw is used.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be maintained properly. The following
conditions indicate that the chain requires sharpening:
• Wood chips are small and powdery.
• Chain must be forced through the wood during cutting.
• Chain cuts to one side.
During maintenance of the chain, consider the following:
• Improper ling angle of the side plate can increase the risk of a severe kickback.
• Depth gauge (or raker clearance) setting determines the height the cutter enters the
wood and the size of the wood chip that is removed. Too much clearance increases
the potential for kickback. Too little clearance decreases the size of the wood chip thus
decreasing the chain’s cutting ability.
• If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such as nails or stones, or have been abraded by
mud or sand on the wood, have service dealer sharpen chain.

MAINTENANCE
HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS
Be careful to le all cutters to the specied angles and to the same length, as fast cutting can be
obtained only when all cutters are uniform.
• Tighten the chain tension enough that the chain does not wobble. Do all of your ling at the
midpoint of the bar. Wear gloves for protection.
• Use a round le and holder.
• Keep the le level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not let the le dip or rock.
• Using light but rm pressure, stroke towards the front corner of the tooth. Lift le away
from the steel on each return stroke.
• Put 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.
