SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all
safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean
and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power
tools in explosive
atmospheres, such
as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and
bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must
match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied
plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric
shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power
tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water
entering a power tool
will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) The use of a residual
current device (RCD)
when using this tool is
recommended. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what
you are doing and use
common sense when
operating a power tool.
Do not use a power
tool while you are tired
or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment
of inattention while
operating power tools
may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the
switch is in the offposition before
connecting to power
source and/or battery
pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your
nger on the switch or
energising power tools
that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before
turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool
may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and
balance at all times. This
enables better control
of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

1. Hold the machine
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
Your body should always be to the left of the chain
line.Grip handle tightly.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 chain saw shaft to the ground increases,
the difculty of making the rst cut (from the underside
of limb) increases.
2. Switch on/off
To turn the tool ON, push and hold the safety lock
button with your thumb and then squeeze the trigger
with your ngers. Once the tool is running.
you release the safety lock button.
Release the trigger switch to stop the chain.
3. Start cutting
Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches
·
more room to fall.
When pruning trees, it is important not to make
·
the nishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until
you have cut off the farthest lying limb. This will
reduce the weight and prevent stripping the bark
from the main member.
Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your rst cut.
·
Your second cut should over cut to drop the
branch off
Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole

Motor Cooling
To avoid overheating and damage to the motor,
always keep the cooling air vents clean and free of
sawdust and debris.
Adjust the chain tension
Always check the chain tension before use, after
the rst cuts and regularly during use, approx.
every 10 minutes.
Loosen the bar locking knob(the inner circle) slightly,
but do not remove the side cover.
Hold up the nose of the guide bar and turn the chain
btensioning knob(the out circle) clockwise.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9N (approx.1kg),
the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail
should never be more that 2mm.
Do not over tension the chain as this will reduce life of
chain bar and motor. With a correctly tensioned chain
you will get good cutting performance and a longer
life.
Tighten the bar locking knob(the inner circle) by
turning it counter-clockwise.
Nuts and Screws
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are
tightened securely. Check that the cam-lock that
controls the telecoping pole is intact and in proper
working order.
Chain sharpening
Secure the bar rmly, with the chain mounted, in a
·
suitable vice.
Tighten the chain if it is loose.
·
Mount the le in the guide and then insert it in the
·
tooth at a constant angle from the cutting edge.
Sharpen in a forward motion a few times and
·
repeat this on all the cutting edges facing the
same way (right or left).

out farther than the inspection tool and le any
projecting parts with a at le, rounding off the
edges.
After sharpening, remove all traces of ling and
·
dust and lubricate the chain in an oil bath. Replace
the chain whenever:
– the length of the cutting edges decreases to 5
mm or less
– there is too much play between the links and the
rivets.
Guide Bar Maintenance
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over
on the saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar
life. Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal
process of bar wear. You should smooth such faults
with a le as soon as they occur.
Replace a bar with any of the following faults:
wear inside the bar rails permitting the chain to lay
·
over sideways
bent guide bar
·
cracked or broken rails
·
spread rails
·
Turn the saw over, check the underside of the guide
bar, and make sure that the lubrication holes and
chain groove are free from impurities.
