Cutting with Extension Pole

1. Attach the pole as described in "Assembly".
2. Install the battery pack into the machine.
   NOTE: Your battery pack may be UNCHARGED and you must charge it before usage. Depress the battery pack release button to remove the battery pack from your tool (See Fig. D1). After recharging, insert the battery pack into the battery port. A simple push and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard (See Fig. D2). Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
   NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
3. Before cutting a high branch, consider all the same points detailed in the previous section "Trimming Branches", but pay particular attention to the likely path of the falling branch.

WARNING: Do not stand directly below a branch being cut. Keep bystanders far away. Do not stand on a ladder or other type of unstable support while using the tool.

Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only designated grip areas when operating Pole Saw (See Fig. E5). Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around Pole Saw handle and pole.

Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

When ready to make a cut, press the Lock-out Button, then fully press the On/off Switch (See Fig. E6). This will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing On/off Switch will turn Pole Saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.

When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

Guide Pole Saw using light pressure. Do not force Pole Saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Remove Pole Saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting Pole Saw down.
