the Clamping Lever to tighten the extension pole to
the machine.
NOTE: Make sure the extension pole is locked into
position securely before operation.
REMOVING THE EXTENSION POLE (See Fig. F5)
Loosen the Clamping Lever to release the buckle.
Press the Extension Pole Release Button to
disconnect the extension pole with the saw.
WARNING! When using this machine with the
Extension Pole, make sure that the battery pack
has been removed.
LUBRICATION
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain
should be oiled before operation.
IMPORTANT: It is important to use bar and
chain lubricant that is formulated to perform
over a wide temperature range with no dilution
required. This can be found at the location where
you purchased this saw or your local hardware
store. Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the bar or
chain. Use of non-approved oil will void the
warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store
away from heat or open flame.

5. OPERATION
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow
metallic objects into your charger or battery pack
connections because of an electrical failure and
hazard will occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you
must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another
Cordless Pruning Saw
battery charger.
(1) CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK (See Fig. H1,
H2)
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
(2) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See
Fig. I)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove
the Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging,
insert the Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple
push and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click
is heard. Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
(3) HOLDING AND CONTROLLING THE PRUNING
SAW (See Fig. J)
Hold and control the pruning saw with one hand on
the Grip Area – wrap your thumb around the Grip
Area.
Hold and control the pruning saw with your other
hand on the Secondary Grip Area.
2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. K)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out
Button, then fully press the On/Off Switch and hold
in this position. The Lock-Out Button can now be
released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
3. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Check recent replaced chain
tension about every 10 minutes during
operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching
the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the Chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the Chain.
(3) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-Out
Button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on.
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make
sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(4) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
