feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

Follow directions below to trim a tree.

1. Make ﬁrst cut six inches from tree trunk on un-

derside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make

this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see

Figure 9).

2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb.

Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut

until you cut limb off.

3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible

on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to

make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.

4. Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down

to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.

Continued

CUTTING WITH THE POLE SAW

1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-

sion cord to power supply.

2. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only des-

ignated grip areas when operating Pole Saw (see

Figure 7). Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers

must wrap around Pole Saw handle and pole.

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

lock-out and squeeze trigger switch (see Figure

8). This will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing trigger

switch will turn Pole Saw off. Make sure saw is

running at full speed before starting a cut.

5. When starting a cut, place moving chain against

wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to avoid

possible bouncing or skating (sideways move-

ment) 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.

OILING CHAIN

Always check oil level before using saw. Do not attempt

to operate the oil system while saw is in operation. To oil

chain, press squeeze bulb. Oil will feed onto the guide

bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb at least once before

each cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight

level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, be-

tween front handle and front hand guard.
