Introduction
The Masterforce Brushless 80-Volt Max 10" pole saw is designed for powerful and efficient cutting. Powered by an 80-volt, 2.0Ah lithium-ion rechargeable battery, it offers performance comparable to a 25cc gas-powered pole saw. Its brushless motor ensures more torque, longer run-time, quiet operation, and extended life. The 8-foot aluminum shaft allows for high cuts, making it ideal for various pruning tasks. This unit is lightweight and hassle-free, starting with the pull of a trigger without the need for gas or oil.
Safety Information
Your safety is paramount when operating the Masterforce pole saw. Please observe the following safety features and guidelines:
- Blade Guard: Always ensure the blade guard is in place when the pole saw is not in use to protect the blade and prevent accidental contact.
- Safety Switch: The pole saw is equipped with a safety switch that must be engaged (flipped forward) before the trigger can be pulled to activate the blade. This prevents accidental starts and enhances user safety.
- Shoulder Strap: Utilize the included shoulder strap to distribute the weight of the pole saw, reducing user fatigue and improving control during operation.

Operating Instructions
To operate your Masterforce pole saw safely and effectively:
- Prepare for Use: Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted. Remove the blade guard.
- Engage Safety Switch: With a firm grip on the handle, push the safety switch forward.
- Start the Saw: While holding the safety switch forward, pull the trigger to activate the saw blade. The brushless motor will provide instant power.
- Position for Cutting: Extend the 8-foot aluminum shaft to reach the desired branch. Position the 10-inch bar and chain against the branch.
- Perform Cut: Apply steady pressure to cut through the branch. Allow the saw to do the work; do not force it.
- Stop the Saw: Release the trigger to stop the blade. Once cutting is complete, re-engage the blade guard for storage.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pole saw:
- Automatic Oiler: The pole saw features an automatic oiler that applies oil to the bar and chain during operation. Regularly check the oil reservoir and refill as needed with appropriate bar and chain oil to ensure continuous lubrication and prevent wear.
- Blade and Chain Inspection: Periodically inspect the 10" bar and chain for sharpness and damage. Sharpen or replace the chain as necessary.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the pole saw, removing any sawdust, debris, or sap from the blade, chain, and motor housing.
- Storage: Store the pole saw in a dry, secure location, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always attach the blade guard before storage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Masterforce pole saw, consider the following common solutions:
- Saw Not Starting: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated. Verify that the safety switch is pushed forward before pulling the trigger.
- Reduced Cutting Performance: Check the chain for sharpness and tension. Ensure the automatic oiler reservoir is filled and functioning correctly.
- Overheating: Allow the tool to cool down if it feels excessively hot. Avoid continuous heavy-duty use without breaks.
- Unusual Noises/Vibrations: Stop operation immediately. Inspect the chain, bar, and all connections for loose parts or damage.
