ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTING THE SHAFT
See Figures 7, 8 and 9.
Rotate the lower portion of the shaft adjustment collar
■
to the "Unlock" position. See Figure 7.
Lower shaft should now be free to slide down from
■
inside the upper shaft. Make sure the shaft is pulled
out to the desired position. See Figure 8.
Rotate shaft adjustment collar to the "Lock" position
■
and tighten securely. See Figure 9.
OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING THE POLE PRUNER
See Figure 10.
STARTING THE POLE PRUNER
Lay the pole pruner on the ground and ensure that no
■
objects or obstructions are in immediate vicinity which
could come in contact with the blade.
Press and hold the trigger lock button. This makes
■
the trigger operational.
Release the trigger lock button and continue to
■
squeeze the trigger for extended operation.
STOPPING THE POLE PRUNER
Release the trigger to stop the pole pruner.
■
Upon release of the trigger, the trigger lock button will
■
be automatically reset to the lock position.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 2.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
■
Maintain a proper grip on the unit when in operation.
■
Use your right hand to firmly grip the rear handle while
your left hand has a firm grip on the front handle.
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
■
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 11 and 12.
Accelerate the unit to full throttle just before entering
■
the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.
DO NOT use a back and forth sawing type motion
■
for cutting.

The following steps should be followed to prevent
■
damage to tree or shrub bark. See Figure 11.
- The first cut should be a shallow cut (1/4 of the
limb diameter) on underside of limb or trunk.
- The second cut should be made from the top side
of the limb outboard from first cut.
- Make the final cut close to trunk.
Keep the unit at full throttle the entire time you are
■
cutting.
For second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch),
■
hold the front cutting guide against the limb being cut.
This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut.
See Figure 12.
Allow the blade to cut for you; exert only light downward
■
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the blade or
unit can result.
Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed,
■
allowing the unit to idle. If you run the pole pruner at
full throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear
or damage can occur to the unit.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no sheet
■
metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood building
materials.
Never allow children to operate your pole pruner. Allow
■
no person to use this pole pruner who has not read this
Operator's Manual and received adequate instructions
for the safe and proper use of this pole pruner.
Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and
■
animals a safe distance, of at least 15 m (50 ft.). from
the cutting area.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent
■
being pulled off balance.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you
■
to see clearly.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
See Figures 2 and 11.
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. See Figure 2.
The long reach of the unit allows the operator to prune
■
branches or limbs that are normally out of reach.
Long branches should be removed in several stages.
