figure 22a.

 

• Never operate while in a tree, in

 

any awkward position or on a

 

ladder or other unstable surface.

 

You may lose control of Pole Saw

 

causing severe injury.

 

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

The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the ground or a nail while cutting.

Saw chain tension

This should be done regularly. Refer to page 8 “Adjusting Chain Tension”.

Pole Saw Maintenance Section

Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for the tool. After every 10 minutes of use be sure to remove the battery (be aware the chain and bar can be hot!) check the bar and chain for correct tension and lubricate per pole saw instruction manual. Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
