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.

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
