LENGTH
The pole saw has a telescoping pole
assembly that will extend from 57 inch­
es (fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully
extended). A threaded compression
coupling is used to hold the pole in
position at any extended length.
1. To extend the pole, loosen coupling
by turning coupling nut counterclo­
ckwise as shown in Fig, 3-7A. Pole
will slide freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired
length of extension.
Note:
Only ext­
end pole to minimum length required
to reach limb that is being cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten
coupling by turning coupling nut
clockwise {See Fig.3-7A) until firmly
hand tight,Make sure saw handle is
aligned with pole handle before
tightening coupling nut.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use wrench or
pliers to overtighten coupling.
Damage to coupling or pole may
result.
