OPERATING POLE

SAW

WARNING: Read and under-

stand this owner’s manual be-

fore operating this Pole Saw.

Make certain you read and un-

derstand all Safety Warnings.

Improper use of this Pole Saw

can cause severe injury or death

from fire, electrical shock, or body

contact with moving chain, or

falling wood.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords with this Pole

Saw. Use only extension cords marked for

outdoor use. The cord must be marked with

suffix W or W-A following the cord type

designation.

Example:

SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper size cord with this saw. Cord

must be heavy enough to carry current

needed. An undersized cord will cause volt-

age drop at saw. Saw will lose power and

overheat. Follow cord size requirements

listed below.

Cord Length AWG cord size

25 feet 16

50 feet 16

100 feet 14

150 feet 12

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make

sure cord does not catch on branches or logs

during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace

damaged cords. The extension cord may

come undone from the power cord during

use. To avoid this, make a knot with the two

cords as shown in Figure 7.

ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH

The Remington Pole Saw has a telescoping

pole assembly that will extend from 57

inches (fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully

extended). A threaded compression cou-

pling is used to hold the pole in position at

any extended length.

1. To extend the pole, loosen coupling by

turning coupling nut counterclockwise

as shown in Figure 8. The tension on

the coiled cord inside the pole may

cause some resistance when extending

the pole for the first few uses. The

coiled cord will relax with use and the

tension will be reduced.

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 cou-

pling by turning coupling nut clockwise

(see Figure 8) until firmly hand tight.

Make sure saw handle is aligned with

pole handle before tightening coupling

nut.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use wrench

or pliers to overtighten coupling. Dam-

age to coupling or pole may result.
