Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly attach the extension pole to your WORX JawSaw Chainsaw:

1. Safety First: Ensure your JawSaw (WG320 or WG321) is powered off and the battery is removed before attempting any attachment or detachment.
2. Align the Pole: Align the connection end of the WA0169 extension pole with the handle receiver on your JawSaw.
3. Secure Attachment: Slide the extension pole firmly onto the JawSaw handle until you hear or feel a secure click. This indicates the tool-free locking mechanism has engaged.
4. Verify Connection: Gently tug on the pole to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble. A secure connection is crucial for safe operation.

Operating Instructions

Once the extension pole is securely attached, you can begin using your JawSaw with extended reach. The pole allows for convenient operation of the JawSaw's power functions.

1. Extend the Pole: To adjust the length of the extension pole, locate the quick-release locking levers along the pole. Open the levers, extend the pole to your desired length (up to 10 feet of reach including user height), and then firmly close the levers to lock it in place.
2. Power Control: The power controls for the JawSaw are integrated into the handle of the extension pole. This allows for easy and safe activation of the chainsaw while maintaining an extended reach.
3. Cutting Technique: Position the JawSaw with the extension pole to safely reach the branch you intend to cut. Ensure a stable stance and maintain control of the tool throughout the cutting process.
4. Ground-Level Use: For cuts on the ground or trimming low branches, the extension pole can be easily removed, returning the JawSaw to its compact form.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your extension pole.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the extension pole with a clean, damp cloth to remove any sawdust, dirt, or debris.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the pole for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear, especially around the locking mechanisms and connection points.
• Storage: Store the extension pole in a dry, clean place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Lubrication: While the pole itself does not require lubrication, ensure your JawSaw's chain is properly lubricated as per its own instruction manual.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the extension pole, consider the following:

• Pole Not Extending/Retracting: Check if the locking levers are fully disengaged. Ensure no debris is obstructing the telescoping sections.
• Loose Connection: If the pole feels loose on the JawSaw, ensure it is fully inserted and the tool-free attachment mechanism has clicked into place. Re-attach if necessary.
• Power Issues: For any power-related problems, refer to the original instruction manual for your WORX JawSaw Chainsaw, as the extension pole primarily transmits the power and controls.
