OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 pole
saw.
• 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.
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
downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the
bar, chain, or motor can result.
Cutting Guide
Limbing and pruning
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 pole saw 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.
