IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When using electric gardening appliances,

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury, including
the following:

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

DANGER! Do not operate near electrical power lines.

The unit has not been designed to provide protection from
electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric
lines, Consult local regulations for safe distances from
overhead electric power lines and ensure that the operating
position is safe and secure before operating the tool.

POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

◾ Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain

when the pole saw is operating. Before you start the
pole saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole

saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the chain.

◾ Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary saw

chain or guide bar rails. These can be very sharp.
Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps when
handling the pole saw, saw chain, or guide bar.

◾ Always hold the pole saw with your one hand on

the rear handle and your other hand on the front
handle. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or

bystanders can result from one-handed operation.

◾ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.

◾ Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective

clothing will reduce personal injury by ying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.

◾ Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of a

pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

◾ Always keep proper footing and operate the pole

saw only when standing on xed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders

may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole saw.

◾ Never operate a pole saw that is damaged or

improperly adjusted or that is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops

moving when the trigger switch is released.

◾ Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other

foreign objects prior to cutting.

◾ When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert

for spring back. When the tension in the wood bers
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the pole saw out of control.

◾ Use extreme caution when cutting brush and

saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

◾ Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the

pole saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/
or sprocket wear, as well as broken chain or bar,
leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of
material.

◾ Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar

can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear,
as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback,
chain throw or the ejection of material.

◾ Carry the pole saw with two hands on the handles,

with the pole saw switched off. When transporting or
storing the pole saw always t the guide bar cover.

Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

◾ Do not remove cut material or hold material to be

cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch
is off when clearing jammed material. Saw chain

continues to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the pole pruner
may result in serious personal injury.

◾ Follow instructions for lubricating, chain

tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback. Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury.

◾ Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.

◾ Cut wood only. Do not use pole saw for purposes

not intended. For example: do not use pole saw
for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the pole saw for operations different

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

◾ Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions,

especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

◾ Stop the motor and remove the battery pack

whenever you leave the tool.

◾ Store Idle Appliances Indoors. When not in use,

appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high
or locked-up place with the battery pack removed, out
of reach of children.

◾ Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the

product, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.

purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.

FILLING OILTANK WITH BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT

WARNING: Do not smoke or bring any re or ame

near the oil or the pole saw. Oil may spill and cause a re.

NOTICE: The pole saw is not lled with oil at the time of

purchase. It is essential to ll the tank with chain oil before
use. Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. The chain is automatically lubricated with chain
oil during operation. Oil level should also be checked after
every 20 minutes of use and relled as needed.

1. Remove the battery pack from the power head.

2. Clean the oil tank cap and the area around it to ensure
that no dirt falls into the oil tank.

3. Place the pole saw attachment upright and rotate the oil
tank cap counterclockwise to remove it (Fig. D).

4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank until it
lls to the tank neck. Be careful not to let the oil spill from
the opening. Wipe off any excess oil and close the oil
tank cap.

NOTICE:

◾ Use OREGON

®

bar and chain oil for best results. It is

specially designed to provide low friction and faster cuts.

◾ Do not use dirty, used or other contaminated oils.

Damage may occur to the bar or chain.

PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (Fig. B)

Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” earlier in this
manual for appropriate safety equipment.

◾ Lift the tip of the guide bar to check for any sagging

in the chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when
there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar and
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the
“REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN” section in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual for adjustment
instructions.

◾ Check the tension of the cover screw before use. If it

is loose, securely tighten the cover screw by turning it
clockwise.

◾ Check the sharpness of cutting teeth on the saw chain

and make sure the chain is well lubricated.

◾ Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.

Never stand directly under the limb you are cut ting.
Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing.
Watch out for obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and
ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.

◾ Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor

is running. Hold the unit rmly with both hands.

◾ For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder

strap across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap
into a comfortable operating position. Following
the instructions in the section “MOUNTING THE

TO START/STOP THE TOOL

See “STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD” section
in the power head PH1400E operator’s manual.

BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE (Fig. E & F)

Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or
shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth saw ing motion.

1. Make a shallow rst cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the
underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.

2. Make a second cut from the top side of the limb
outboard from the rst cut. Continue the cut through the
limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared
to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.

3. Make a nal cut close to trunk.

POLE SAW ATTACHMENT — PSA100010

NOTICE: For second and nal cuts (from top of limb or

branch), hold the bucking spikes against the limb being
cut (Fig. F). This will help steady the limb and make it
easier to cut with light downward pressure. If you force
the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result in.

4. Release the trigger on the power head as soon as the
cut is com pleted.

NOTICE: Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will

result in the bar and chain binding and becom ing pinched
or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:

1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.

2. If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the
limb while holding the saw. This should release the
“pinch” and free the saw.

3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small
branches and limbs up to 20cm in diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions.

1. Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in
which the branch will fall.

WARNING: Branches may fall in unexpected

directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.

2. The most typical cutting application is to posi tion the
unit at an angle of 60° or less (Fig. G). As the angle
of the pole saw shaft to the ground increases, the
difculty of making the rst cut (from the underside
of limb) increases.

3. Remove long branches in several stages.

4. Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branch es
more room to fall.

5. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a

rm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.

6. Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dan­gerous. Leave such operations for professionals.

7. Do not make the ush cut next to the main limb
or trunk until you have cut off most of the limb
to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting
procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the
main member.

8. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.

9. To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m
of overhead electrical lines and keep bystanders at
least 15m away (Fig. G).

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing

the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or property
damage.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs, other than the items listed in these
maintenance instructions, should be performed by a
qualied service technician.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial

NOTICE: If there is difculty in removing the bar and chain

from the mounting surface, place the pole saw upright, with
one hand support the bar, to loosen the chain-tensioning
screw counterclockwise with the other hand (Fig. I) and
then remove the bar with the chain.

NOTICE: This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket

for excessive wear or damage.

Assembling the New Bar and Chain

1. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on a at surface and
straighten any kinks (Fig. J).

2. Place the chain drive links into the guide bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of
the guide bar (Fig. K).

3. Hold the chain in position on the guide bar and place
the loop around the sprocket of the pole saw.

NOTICE: Small directional arrows are engraved in the

saw chain. Another directional arrow is molded into the
tool body (Fig. L). When looping the saw chain onto the
sprocket, make sure that the direction of the arrows on the
saw chain CORRESPOND to the direction of the arrow on
the tool body. If they face in opposite directions, turn over
the saw chain and guide bar assembly (Fig. M).

4. Place the guide bar on the mounting surface by
sliding the guide bar slot over the alignment bulges,
making sure that the tension adjusting pin is inserted
in the lower hole in the tail of the bar (Fig. L).

NOTICE: If there is difculty in inserting the tension

adjusting pin into the hole, adjust the chain-tensioning
screw properly until the tension adjusting pin is located
exactly in the hole.

5. Replace the chain-sprocket cover and the cover
screw. Slightly tighten them.

6. Remove all the slack from the chain by turning the
chain-tensioning screw clockwise until the chain
seats snugly against the guide bar with the drive
links in the guide bar groove and lift the tip of the
guide bar to check for sag. Release the tip of the
guide bar and turn the chain-tensioning screw
once clockwise. Repeat this process until the sag is
eliminated (Fig. N).

7. Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the
chain-sprocket-cover screw securely.

NOTICE: To extend the guide bar life, invert the bar

occasionally.

NOTICE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the

chain-sprocket-cover screw slightly and turn the tensioning
screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide
bar and retighten the chain-sprocket-cover screw securely.
Assure that the chain will rotate without binding.

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

CAUTION: The saw chain must be properly tensioned

before using.

1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension.

2. Loosen the cover screw to nger tight.

3. Turn the chain-tensioning screw clockwise to
tension the chain. See the “REPLACING THE BAR

information.

◾ A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is

no slack on the underside of the guide bar and the
chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. The chain must be re-tensioned whenever
the ats on the drive links do not sit in the bar
groove (Fig. O).

◾ During normal saw operation, the temperature of

the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately

1.3mm out of the bar groove (Fig. P).

NOTICE: New chains tend to stretch; check chain tension

frequently and tension as required.

NOTICE: A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too

tight upon cooling. Check the cold tension before next use.
