and ensure that the pole is secure. If the pole telescopes

when the cam-lock is closed, the nut may need tightening.

WARNING!

Failure to lock the telescopic pole cam-lock

as directed could result in personal injury.

Tightening the Bolt

The retaining bolt may need tightening to secure the telescopic

pole in place.

1. Unclip the cam-lock. Using a hex key wrench, tighten the

cam-lock nut, then close the cam-lock. Ensure that the

pole is secure. The wrench may be required to loosen the

cam-lock nut if you need to adjust the pole to a different

height (Fig. 23).

Adjusting the Multi-Angle Head

The pole chain saw head can be rotated for different

cutting angles: 0º or 30º.

1. Turn off the switch.
2. Press the multi-angle head adjustment button to loosen

the head (Fig. 24).

3. Adjust the head to the desired position (Fig. 25).

Cutting Tips

Proper Cutting Stance

• Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
• Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the

unit at an angle of 60° or less depending on the specific

situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft

to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first

cut (from the underside of limb) increases.
