Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
• Before operating the gardening appliance, put on ANSI-approved safety goggles, hard hat
and other safety gear. Safety goggles and other safety gear are sold separately.
• If an extension cord is used, ensure that it is an outdoor type extension cord
and that it is the correct design to accept this appliance’s plug.
WARNING! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
The extension cord must remain secured to the appliance’s plug.
Secure the extension cord by either using the knot method explained in the safety warning section,
or by using a device designed specically for retaining the extension cord (sold separately).
Power Cord Routing
1. Route the power cord away from the work area to
prevent it from contacting with the blade. Plan your
route before starting work. Start your work at the
nearest point to the electrical outlet, and work away
from it. This will keep the power cord away from
the Pole Saw and avoid it being accidentally cut.
2. Keep the power cord over your
shoulder for added safety.
3. For tension relief of the power cord, loop the cord
and bring this through the opening at the handle and
insert it into the Cable Hook. See Figure 10, right.
Adjusting Cutting Length
WARNING! Always release the Trigger and
unplug the Pole Saw before any adjustment.
1. The cutting length of the Pole Saw can be
adjusted according to required cutting height.
Unscrew the locking sleeve in clockwise
direction and adjust the pole bar.
2. After adjusting required length, tighten the
locking sleeve. See Figure 11, right.
Activating/Deactivating Pole Saw
1. The Pole Saw is tted with a lock button feature.
To start Pole Saw, depress the Lock Button then
fully press and hold the Trigger. The Lock Button
can now be released. See Figure 12, right.
Note: It is not necessary to maintain pressure on
the Lock Button once the Trigger is squeezed and
the motor is running. The Lock Button is a safety
device to avoid accidental start-up of the device.
2. The Pole Saw will automatically stop once
the Trigger is released. The Lock Button will
have to be depressed and the switch trigger
squeezed to restart the Pole Saw motor.
