OPERATING POLE TRIMMER

WARNING: Read and under- stand this owner’s manual before operating PoleTrimmer.Make cer- tain you read and understand all Safety Warnings on pages 2 and 3 of this manual. Improper use of this Pole Trimmer can result in severe injury or death from fire, electric shock, or body contact with moving parts.

PIVOTING THE POWER HEAD

The Pole Trimmer is equipped with a power head that pivots. The power head is able to pivot a full 180 degrees. The power head has a spring-loaded T-handle that allows it to be locked into several different positions within its 180-degree rotation.

Before connecting the Pole Trimmer to the electrical supply, make sure the power head is locked into position. Do this by trying to rotate the power head in either direction. The power head should be locked in position and should not rotate.

To pivot the power head, follow the instruc- tions below.

1.Pull out on the T-handle located on the side of the pivot bracket. The T-handle is spring-loaded, so you will feel some resistance when pulling it out.

2.Grasp the power head motor housing and rotate the power head to either the 0, 45, or 90 degree position.

3.Release the T-handle. It should snap back into its seated position. If it does not, rotate the power head back and forth slightly until the T-handle snaps back into its seated position. The power head is now locked into position and ready for use.
