Do not insert the battery until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury.CONNECTING THE POLES See figure 2Before using the pole saw, assembly is required. When removed from the box, there are the three poles. Insert the extension pole into the handle pole and slide together. The tubes are oval-shaped and will only install one way. Push the extension pole into the lock sleeve in the handle pole and the press button will lock into the press button hole. Then use a wrench to secure the lock nut. Repeat this process to attach the extension pole to the power head pole. WARNING Do not attempt to modify this product or create acces-sories not recommended for use with this product. Any such alteration or modication is misuse and could re-sult in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. OPERATION APPLICATIONSYou may use this product for the purposes listed below: Limbing PruningADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT See figure 3Use Lubricant. It is designed for chains and chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.NOTE: Pole saw comes from the factory with no bar and chain oil added. Level should also be checked after every 30 minutes of use and refilled as needed. Remove oil cap. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank. Wipe off excess oil. Check and fill the oil tank when there is no oil in the oil tank. Repeat as needed.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 then run for one minute. When storing the unit for a long period of time (three months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK See figure 4 Press the latch button on the battery pack down and hold. Grasp the pole saw firmly, and pull the battery pack out of the handle.NOTE: The battery pack fits into the handle snugly in order to prevent accidental dislodging. It may require a strong pull to remove it.INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK See figure 4 Align the tongue of the battery pack with the cavity. Grasp the pole saw firmly. Push the battery pack into the handle until the latch locks into place. Do not use force when inserting the battery pack. It should slide into position and “click”. WARNING Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-mended by The manufacture of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. 3English (original instructions)

DE ES IT FR PT NL RU FI SV NO DA PL CS SK SL HR HU RO BG EL AR TR HE LT LV ET STARTING AND STOPPING See Figure 5TO START THE MOTOR: Fit the battery pack into the pole saw. Press and hold the switch lock. This makes the switch trigger operational. Press and hold the switch trigger, release the switch lock and continue to squeeze the switch trigger for continued operation.TO STOP THE MOTOR: Release the switch trigger.PREPARATION FOR CUTTING 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 firmly grip the rear handle while your left hand has a firm grip on the pole shaft. Hold unit firmly 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 See Figures 6-7Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion. Make a shallow first 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 first 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 final cut close to trunk.NOTE: For second and final cuts (from top of limb orbranch), hold front cutting guide against the limb beingcut. This will help steady the limb and make it easier tocut. Allow chain to cut for you; exert only slight downwardpressure. 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 resultin the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched ortrapped in the limb. If this should happen: Stop the motor and remove the battery pack. 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 assistanceLIMBING AND PRUNING See Figure 8-9This unit is designed for trimming small branches andlimbs up to 15 cm in diameter. For best results, observethe 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 specific situation. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of limb) increase. Remove long branches in several stages. Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance. Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from side of tree opposite branch you are cutting. Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.Leave this operation for professionals. Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedure will prevent stripping the bark from the main member. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m of overhead electrical lines. Keep bystanders at least 15m away. MAINTENANCE REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN See Figure 10-12 Remove the lock knob and drivecase cover. The bar contains a bar stud slot that fits over the bar stud. The bar also contains a chain tension pin hole which fits over the chain tensioning pin. Place the bar onto the bar stud so that the chain tensioning pin fits 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 drivecase cover and install the lock knob. Tighten the lock knob finger tight only. The bar must be free to move for tension adjustment. Remove all slack from chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise, assuring that the chain 4English (original instructions)

DE ES IT FR PT NL RU FI SV NO DA PL CS SK SL HR HU RO BG EL AR TR HE LT LV ET 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 screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does not exist. Hold the lip of the bar up and tighten the lock knob securely. Chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the bar, the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSIONSee Figure 13-16 Loosen the chain cover lock knob. The chain cover does not have to be completely removed in order to adjust the chain tension. Rotate the chain adjustment screw clockwise to increase the chain tension and rotate counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension. Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten the chain cover lock knob. WARNING Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead toexcessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar andchain. WARNING When the saw chain is new, check the tension frequently during the rst two hours of use as a new saw chain stretches slightly.CHAIN MAINTENANCE See Figure 17For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to bemaintained properly. The following conditions indicatethat 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 filling angle of the side plate can increase the risk of 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 the cutter teeth hit hard objects such as nails or stones, or are abraded by mud or sand on the wood, have an authorized service center sharpen the chain.NOTE:if there’re any cracks on chain pitch or guide bar,stop to use the tool at once and replace the damaged parts. Refer to Replacing The Bar And Chain.HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS See Figure 18-21Be careful to file all cutters to the specified 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 filling at the mid-point of the bar. Wear gloves for protection. Use a 5/32 in. diameter round file and holder. Keep the file level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock. Using light but firm pressure, stroke towards the front corner of the tooth. Lift file away from the steel on each return stroke. Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left hand cutters in one direction. Then move to the other side and file the right hand cutters in the opposite direction. Occasionally remove filings from the file with a wire brush. WARNING Dull or improperly sharpened chain can cause excessive motor speed during cutting which may result in severe motor damage. WARNING Improper chain sharpening increases the potential of kickback. Failure to replace or repair damaged chain can cause serious injury. STORAGE STORING THE PRODUCT Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Always place the scabbard on the saw bar when transporting or storing the pole saw. The scabbard is a snug fit and must be attached very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the saw chain. This is best done by grasping the scabbard at one end, in the center portion of the scabbard, and carefully sliding it over the chain as shown. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.NOTE: The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when handling the chain. 5English (original instructions)
