STARTING AND STOPPING See Figure 5
TO START THE MOTOR:
„ Fit the battery pack into the pole saw.
„ Press and hold the switch lock. This makes the switch
trigger operational.
„ Press and hold the switch trigger, release the switch
lock and continue to squeeze the switch trigger for
continued operation.
TO STOP THE MOTOR:
„ Release the switch trigger.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
„ Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
„ Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor
is running. Use your right hand to firmly grip the rear
handle while your left hand has a firm grip on the pole
shaft.
„ Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your
left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand on the
rear handle, so your body is to the left of the chain line.
Never use a left-handed (cross handed) grip, or any
stance that places your body or arm across the chain
line.
„ Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
„ Be certain the collars are fully tightened before
operating equipment; check them periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 6-7
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub
bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
„ Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the
underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
„ Make a second cut from the top side of the limb
outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through the
limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared
to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.
„ Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTE: For second and final 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 slight downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain,
or motor can result.
„ 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 pack.
„ If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb
while holding the saw. This should release the "pinch"
English (original instructions)
and free the saw.
„ If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance
LIMBING AND PRUNING See Figure 8-9
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and
limbs up to 15 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
specific situation. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to
ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut
(from the underside of limb) increase.
„ Remove long branches in several stages.
„ Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more
room to fall.
„ Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm
grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
„ Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing.
Cut from side of tree opposite branch you are cutting.
„ Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
„ Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk
until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the
weight. Following proper cutting procedure will prevent
stripping the bark from the main member.
„ Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking
„ To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m of
overhead electrical lines.
„ Keep bystanders at least 15m away.
MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN See Figure 10-12
„ Remove the lock knob and drivecase cover.
„ The bar contains a bar stud slot that fits over the bar
stud. The bar also contains a chain tension pin hole
which fits over the chain tensioning pin.
„ Place the bar onto the bar stud so that the chain
tensioning pin fits into the chain tensioning pin hole.
„ Fit the chain over the sprocket and into the bar groove.
The cutters on the top of the bar should face toward the
bar tip, in the direction of the chain rotation.
„ Replace the drivecase cover and install the lock knob.
Tighten the lock knob finger tight only. The bar must be
free to move for tension adjustment.
„ Remove all slack from chain by turning the chain
tensioning screw clockwise, assuring that the chain
