CONNECTING THE POLES
See Figure 3.
Before using the pole saw, a one-time assembly is
required. When removed from the box, the three
poles are connected by an electrical cord as shown
above.

Remove the four (4) rubber cord protectors from
inside the poles. This material protects the cord
during shipping and MUST be discarded imme-
diately.
 Unscrew the lower collar from the threaded base
on the intermediate pole and push back over the
cord to the handle pole shaft as shown.
 Insert the handle pole into the intermediate pole
and slide together until you hear the button click.
The tubes are egg-shaped and will only install one
way.
 Lower the collar on the handle pole to the threaded
base on the intermediate pole and rotate clock-
wise to secure.
 Repeat this process to attach the intermediate
pole to the powerhead pole.
NOTE: Once assembled correctly, handle pole and
powerhead pole should not be able to separate from
intermediate pole when pulled. Repeat above steps
if poles can be separated from intermediate pole.
WARNING:
Failure to lock powerhead pole as directed above
could result in serious injury or death.
