Continued
OILING CHAIN
Always check oil level before using saw. Do not attempt
to operate the oil system while saw is in operation. To oil
chain, press squeeze bulb. Oil will feed onto the guide bar
and chain. Press squeeze bulb at least once before each
cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level
hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, between
front handle and front hand guard.
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 7). 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 switch
lock-out and squeeze trigger switch (see Figure
8). This will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing trigger
switch 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 move-
ment) 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 running
at full speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing trigger.
Make sure chain has stopped before setting Pole
Saw down.

underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make
this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see

2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb.
Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut
until you cut limb off.
