DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep both hands on handles when power is on.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after being turned off.
Specic safety rules
• Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Kickback may occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood
closes in and pinches the chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning-fast reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the
chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the
operator, which can cause loss of control and may result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the product. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Use pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use for cutting non-wood items.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose
of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction while you are operating the
unit. Have a planned retreat path.
• Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the product.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
• To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. (15 m) of overhead electrical
lines.
• Before starting the motor, make sure the chain is not contacting any object. To protect yourself
from falling branches, do not stand directly under the branch or limb being cut. This unit should not
be held at an angle over 60° from ground level.
• Turn off the motor and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before setting the unit down.
• Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Use only the replacement guide bars and low kickback chains specied for the unit.
• Do not operate the saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from one hand operation. This saw is intended for
two-handed use.

• Remove extension pole from handle pole by pulling up
H
on it.
• Insert the handle pole into the power head pole.
• Rotate collar (H) clockwise to tighten.
Note:
• Adjust hand placement on the shaft of the pole saw
to keep proper balance.
• Assemble poles only to the length required to reach
the limb being cut. Do not extend the handle above
waist height.
Preparation for cutting
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Use your right hand to rmly grip
the rear handle while your left hand has a rm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit rmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand
on the rear handle so your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed (crosshanded) grip, or any stance that places your body or arm across the chain line.
• Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
• Be certain the collars are fully tightened before
operating equipment; check them periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
Basic cutting procedure
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
• Make a shallow rst cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb
or trunk.
• 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.
• Make a nal cut close to trunk.
kobalttools.com
11
Page 12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed.
Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result
in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched or
trapped in the limb. If this should
happen:
• Stop the motor and remove the battery from the pole
saw.
• 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.
• If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
Note: For second and nal cuts (from top of limb
or branch), hold front cutting guide against the limb
being cut. This will help steady the limb and make it
easier to cut. Allow chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the
bar, chain, or motor can result.
Limbing and pruning
This unit is designed for trimming small branches
and limbs up to 6 in. (15.2 cm) in diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions:
• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in
which the branch will fall.
• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not
stand directly under the branch being cut.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the
unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending on the
specic situation. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to
ground increases the difculty of making the rst cut
(from underside of limb) increases.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches
more room to fall.
• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a
rm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep the tree between you and the chain while
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite of the
branch you are cutting.
• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
• Do not make the ush cut next to the main limb or
trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to
reduce the weight.
Following proper cutting procedures will prevent
stripping the bark from the main member.
• Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
• To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft.
(15 m) of overhead electrical lines.
• Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Chain maintenance
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be maintained properly. The following conditions
indicate that the chain requires sharpening:
• Wood chips are small and powdery.
• Chain must be forced through the wood during cutting.
• Chain cuts to one side.
During maintenance of the chain, consider the following:
•
risk of a severe kickback.
• Depth gauge (or raker clearance) setting determines
the height the cutter enters the wood and the size of
the wood chip that is removed. Too much clearance
increases the potential for kickback. Too little
clearance decreases the size of the wood chip thus
decreasing the chain’s cutting ability.
• If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such as nails or
stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand on the
wood, have service dealer sharpen chain.
How to sharpen the cutters
to the same length, as fast cutting can be obtained only
when all cutters are uniform.
• Tighten the chain tension enough that the chain does
bar. Wear gloves for protection.
