Thank you for the purchase of our Wicked Tough Pole Saw. Please take the me to read

through these tape installaon instrucons to get the most from your pole saw.

Tape Installation: Along with your Wicked Tough Pole saw, you should have also

received (4) pieces of “Two-Sided Tape” inside the plasc bag. The below instrucons

will show you how to properly install these pieces of tape between the “Tube Connector

Brackets”; and the “Aluminum Tube Secons”. Without the installaon of this tape, it is

possible for the brackets to be pulled o the end of the aluminum tubes when any secon

is not fully extended during use. The Two-Sided Tape applicaon eliminates this problem.

Please note, each tube secon has male/female rolled groves that prevent the tubes from

pulling apart. The tape prevents the connectors from pulling o the tube ends when any

secons are closed or adjusted part-way. This simple operaon will permanently connect

the plasc bracket to each tube end. It’s worth taking the me to do, and should take less

than 10 minutes from start to nish. See instrucons below:

Tools Required: (1) Flat Screw Driver (Large Size), (1) Phillips Head Screw Driver

(Medium Size)

Step 1: Unscrew “Phillips Head Screw” from the largest “Tube Connector “(closest to

boom of pole saw). Be sure to save the screw and nut to re-install later.

Step 2: Slide plasc “Tube Connector Bracket” o the end of the “Aluminum Tube” with a

twisng moon. It should easily slide o tube end with nut and bolt removed.

Step 3: Clean tube end with dry / clean rag to allow for good adhesion with two-sided tape

Step 4: Remove one side of “Two-Sided Tape” cover strips. Wrap the tape around the end

of the aluminum tube (scky side on aluminum tube). Tape should be near the end of the

aluminum tube (within 1/4 inch), but is it not crical where the tape starts or stops.

Step 5: Remove outer tape cover strip, exposing “scky” side of tape on the outside.

Step 6: Insert “Flat Screw Driver” into gap of the “Plasc Connector Bracket”. Rotate

screw driver 90 degrees to further open the connector bracket. This will allow you to easily

slide bracket back over the tube and tape.

Step 7: With the “Flat Screw Driver” holding the “Connector Bracket” open, slide the

“Connector Bracket” back over the tube end unl it hits aluminum tube end. It is crical

that the “Connector bracket” is slid unl it hit’s it’s stopping point. This should be felt when

pushing the connector back onto tube. Once “Connector bracket” is back in its original

posion, remove screw driver.

Step 8: Re-install “Screw” and “Nut” and ghten to medium strength. The two-sided

tape should be installed now between the tube and connector bracket, which will create a

permanent bond once the “Screw” is ghtened. If using a baery powered drill, a torque

seng of #2 or #3 will be sucient. If when ghtening the screw the nut starts rotang at

any-point, it’s ght enough.

Step 9: Repeat steps 1-8 for each of the “Tube Connector Brackets”. The 12 . Pole Saw

will have (4) brackets, the 6 . Pole Saw will have (3) brackets. There will be (1) extra piece

of tape provided for the 6 . assembly that will not be used.

step 10: When applying tape to the addional tubes; open tube secons slightly to allow

for easier access to perform the above assembly. The “Tube Adjustment Knobs” can either

be loose or ght while performing these operaons.
