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.

age drop at saw. Saw will lose power and

overheat. Follow cord size requirements

listed below.

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. Pole will slide

freely.

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.

once before each cut. Always check oil level

before using Pole Saw. Check oil level often

by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight

level hole is on left side of saw, between

front handle and front hand guard. Do not

attempt to operate the oiler while cutting

with the Pole Saw.

ating Pole Saw (see Figure 9). Use firm

on both feet.

4. When ready to make a cut, press in trig-

ger switch lock-out and squeeze trig-
