8' ELECTRIC TELESCOPING POLE SAW
ASSEMBLY
Continued
ASSEMBLY OF POLE SAW
1.Slip handle bracket over chain saw handle from the right side (see Figure 5). Note: The trigger must be depressed before the bracket will go onto the handle.
Push the lockout button and depress the trigger. While holding the trigger in, place the trigger support portion of the bracket under the trigger and slide the bracket onto the chain saw handle. The bracket will keep the trigger in the “on” position.
2.Align holes in pole bracket with holes in handle bracket. Install Phillips head screws with lockwashers through pole bracket from left side and thread into the weld nuts on the handle bracket. Tighten screws securely by hand.
3.Plug the saw power cord into receptacle cord at end of inner pole.

OPERATING POLE SAW
WARNING: Read and under- stand this owner’s manual be- fore operating this Pole Saw. Make certain you read and un- derstand all Safety Warnings. Improper use of this Pole Saw can cause severe injury or death from fire, electrical shock, or body contact with moving chain, or falling wood.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords with this Pole Saw. Use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or
Use proper size cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will cause volt- age drop at saw. Saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed below.
Cord Length | AWG cord size |
25 feet | 16 |
50 feet | 16 |
100 feet | 14 |
150 feet | 12 |
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches or logs during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords. The extension cord may come undone from the power cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot with the two cords as shown in Figure 7.

ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH
The Remington Pole Saw has a telescoping pole assembly that will extend from 57 inches (fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully extended). A threaded compression cou- pling is used to hold the pole in position at any extended length.
1.To extend the pole, loosen coupling by turning coupling nut counterclockwise as shown in Figure 8. The tension on the coiled cord inside the pole may cause some resistance when extending the pole for the first few uses. The coiled cord will relax with use and the tension will be reduced.
2.Pull inner pole section out to desired length of extension. Note: Only extend pole to minimum length required to reach limb that is being cut.
3.To lock pole in position, tighten cou- pling by turning coupling nut clockwise (see Figure 8) until firmly hand tight. Make sure saw handle is aligned with pole handle before tightening coupling nut. IMPORTANT: Do not use wrench or pliers to overtighten coupling. Dam- age to coupling or pole may result.

OILING CHAIN
To oil chain, press squeeze bulb on oil cap. Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb on oil cap at least once before each cut. Always check oil level before using Pole Saw. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, between front handle and front hand guard. Do not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting with the Pole Saw.
CUTTING WITH THE POLE SAW
1.Connect saw to extension cord. Con- nect extension cord to power supply .
