3-8. OILING CHAIN
To oil chain, press oil cap. Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press oil cap at least once before each cut. Always check oil level before using pole saw. Do not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting with the pole saw.
3-9. CUTTING WITH THE POLE SAW
1.Connect saw to extension cord. Connect extension cord to power supply.
2.Use both hands to grip pole saw. Use only designated grip areas when operating pole saw (See Fig.
3.Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
4.When ready to make a cut, press in trigger switch
5.When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold pole saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
6.Guide pole saw using light pressure. 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.
7.Remove pole saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop pole saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting pole saw down.
8.Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming. Always position yourself out of the path of falling debris.

1.When using the chain saw, an extension cord of ade- quate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss of power and overheating.
2.The extension cord must be specifically intended for outdoor use and marked
4-1. TO START SAW
1. PLEASE READ ALL WARNINGS.
2. Make sure oil reservoir is full.
WARNING
Ensure the extension cord is of the proper size and type for your saw.
3. Plug the cord (A) into the appropriate size extension cord (B) (see Figure
WARNING
Make sure the extension cord does not come in contact with the guide bar and saw chain.
4.Grip the saw with both hands, left hand holding the front handle and the right hand holding the rear han- dle. Thumbs and fingers should encircle both handles (Figure
5.With your RIGHT THUMB, depress the LOCK/OFF button (C) on the side of the rear handle, and at the same time squeeze the trigger. To stop the saw, release the trigger (Figure

4-2. TO STOP MOTOR
The saw motor will automatically stop when the trigger is released. The LOCK/OFF button will have to be depressed and the trigger squeezed to restart the motor.
4-3. CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Always check oil level before using saw. To oil chain, press oil cap. Do not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting with the saw. Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press oil cap at least once before each cut. Check oil level often.
CAUTION
Never starve the bar and chain of lubrication oil. Running the saw DRY or with TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and cause rapid dulling of the chain and excessive wear of the bar from overheating. Too little is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
NOTE: The saw chain stretches during use, particularly when it is new, and occasional adjustment will be needed. A new chain requires more frequent adjustment during the
WARNING / CAUTION
A loose chain can jump off the bar while you are cutting, as well as wear the bar and chain. A chain that is too tight can damage the saw. Either situation, chain too loose or too tight, could cause serious personal injury.
