general operating instructions
Turn the Power Switch of the tool to the “OFF” position and unplug the tool from
the electrical outlet before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
Maintain a proper grip on the Pole Saw whenever it is running. Hold the tool with
both hands. Always keep your left hand on the Front Handle (61) and your right
hand on the Rear Handle (74, 6), so that your body is to the left of the Pole Saw.
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or any stance which would place
your body or arm across the chain line.
Always wear the Shoulder Strap (66) to properly support the Pole Saw when
moving or using unit.
To activate the Saw, push the Safety Switch (72) forward and depress the Power
Switch (75).
Allow the Saw Chain to cut for you.
Exert only light downward pressure. If
you attempt to force the cut, damage
to the Guard Bar, Chain, or Motor can
result.
Do not use a back and forth sawing
type motion for cutting.
Release the Power Switch as soon
as the cut is completed. Running
the Pole Saw for long periods without a pause can cause unnecessary wear or
damage to the Guard Bar, Chain, and Motor.
beware kickback! Never cut with tip of blade.
Cut longer branches down in sections for greater efficiency and safety.
