Operating Guide

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:

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.

Cutting Guide

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

(from underside of limb) increases.

• Remove long branches in several stages.

•

more room to fall.

• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a
