3. Grasp the assist handle and the rear handle firmly,
using both hands.
4. Press and hold the lock-off button, then squeeze the
trigger switch to start the saw. Release the lock-off
button and continue to squeeze the trigger switch for
continued operation.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to start the saw
when the saw chain is in a cut or in contact with any
surface.
To Stop
Move the pole saw away from cutting area, and then
release the trigger switch to stop the pole saw.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from
the pole saw during work breaks and after finishing
work.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE (Fig. R)
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or
shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
1. Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of the limb diameter) on
the underside of the limb, close to the main limb or
trunk.
2. 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.
3. Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTICE:
For second and final cuts (from the top of the
limb or branch), hold the bucking spikes against the
limb being cut (Fig. S). This will help to steady the limb
and make it easier to cut. Allow the chain to cut for you;
only exert light downward pressure. If you force the cut,
damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result.

4. Release the trigger switch as soon as the cut is
completed.
NOTICE:
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:
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
2. 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.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
This pole saw is designed for trimming small branches
and limbs up to 20cm (for tool with 25cm guide bar) or
25cm (for tool with 30cm guide bar) in diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions:
1. Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in
which the branch will fall.
WARNING:
directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being
cut.
2. The most typical cutting application is to position
the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending on the
specific situation, as shown in Fig. T. As the angle
of the pole saw shaft to the ground increases, the
difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside
of limb) increases.
3. Remove long branches in several stages.
4. Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches
more room to fall.
5. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a
firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
6. Keep the tree between you and the chain while
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the
branch you are cutting.
7. Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
Leave such operations for professionals.
8. Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or
trunk until you have cut off much of limb to reduce
the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will
prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
9. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
10. To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m
of overhead electrical lines (Fig. T).
11. Keep bystanders at least 15m away (Fig. T).
