3.While holding the switch lockout under your thumb in the forward position, use your fingers to pull upward on the control trigger. (see figure 15) This will energize the saw and allow you to do your work. It is NOT necessary to keep pressure on the thumb switch after the tool has started.

Please note that the tool will not start if the lock rings are not in the fully locked position.

To turn the tool off:

1.Release the control and the tool will turn off. The thumb switch will return to the rearward position to prevent accidental re-starting of the tool.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The pole saw attachment incorporates a circuit breaker which will protect the hedge trimmer in the event of

a prolonged stall. This device will cause the tool to stop operating if an overload condition exists. If the pole saw becomes jammed on a branch, release the control trigger immediately. If, after clearing the jam, the pole saw does not restart, check to see if the circuit breaker has popped (see figure 16). The circuit breaker can be reset by simply waiting 30 seconds and then pushing it back in until it clicks. You may then resume normal trimming.
