3. Extend the pole to the desired length (Fig. 21).
NOTE: Push poles toward each other to shorten the pole
or pull them away from each other to lengthen the pole.
Only extend the pole to the minimum length required to
reach the limb to be cut.

4. Lock the pole in position by closing the cam-lock (Fig. 22),

WARNING!
Failure to lock the telescopic pole cam-lock
as directed could result in personal injury.
Tightening the Bolt (Optional)
The retaining bolt may need tightening to secure the
telescoping pole in place.
To tighten the bolt, unclip the cam-lock. Using the hex key
wrench, tighten the cam-lock nut, then close the cam-lock.
Ensure that the pole is secure. The wrench may be required
to loosen the cam-lock nut if you need to adjust the pole to a
different height (Fig. 23).

Cutting Tips for Pole Chain
Saw
Proper Cutting Stance
• Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
• Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the
unit at an angle of 60° or less depending on the specific
situation (Fig. 24). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft
to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first
cut (from the underside of limb) increases.
