The Remington RPS2N1 Pole Saw has a telescop-
ing pole assembly that will extend from 57 inches
(fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully extended). A
cam levered collet is used to hold the pole in posi-
tion at any extended length.
1. To extend the pole, loosen the clamping lever
(see Figure 18). Pole will slide freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired length of
extension. Note: Only extend pole to minimum
length required to reach limb that is being
cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping lever
(see Figure 18).
cUttING wItH tHE poLE Saw
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-
sion cord to power supply.
2. Use both hands to grip pole saw. Use only
designated grip areas when operating pole
saw (see Figure 19). Use firm grip. Thumbs
and fingers must wrap around pole saw handle
and pole.
3. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
4. When ready to make a cut, press in trigger
lockout and squeeze trigger (see Figure 20).
This will turn pole saw on. Releasing trigger
will turn pole saw off. Make sure saw is running
at full speed before starting a cut.
5. When starting a cut, place moving chain
against wood. Hold pole saw firmly in place to
avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
6. Guide pole saw using light pressure. Do not
force pole saw. The motor will overload and
can burn out. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended.
7. Remove pole saw from a cut with saw run-
ning at full speed. Stop pole saw by releasing
trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before
setting pole saw down.
