ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH
The Remington brand polesaw has a tele- scoping pole assembly that will extend from 47 inches (fully retracted) to 83 inches (fully extended). A cam levered collet is used to hold the pole in position at any extended length.

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 clamping lever (see Figure 27).
