Follow directions below to trim a tee.
1. Make sure Pole Saw is running
at full speed before making a cut.
When starting a cut, place moving
chain against limb. Hold Pole Saw
firmly in place to avoid possible
bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of Pole Saw.
2. Guide Pole Saw using light
pressure. Make first cut six inches
from tree trunk on underside of
limb. Use top of guide bar to make
this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter
of limb. Then make the finish cut
from the top as shown in
figure 23.
If you try to cut off thick branches
from the bottom, the branch may
close in and pinch the saw chain
in the cut. If you try to cut off thick
branches from the top, without a
shallow undercut, the branch may
splinter figure 24.
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.
3. Remove Pole Saw from cut while it is running at full speed. Stop
Pole Saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped
before setting Pole Saw down.
Saw chain sharpness
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is
not running.
IMPORTANT: The chain cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground, stones, masonry or a nail while cutting.

To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is
important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Chain sharpening
services are available from your nearest Black+Decker
service center.
NOTE: Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the
reduced kickback qualities and extra caution should be used. It is
recommended that a chain be sharpened no more than four times.
