GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The tool shall not be used in any position where it is liable
to be within 15 m of the overhead electrical lines of 33,000
V or more (normally wires suspended from steel towers)
or 9 m in the case of overhead lines carrying less than
33,000 V (normally wires suspended by wooden poles),
unless the electricity supplier has been approached for
advice. (Fig. 1)
DANGER:
Serious injury or death from electrocution if power lines or
electrical wires are contacted.
WARNING:
For safe operation, read and understand owners manual.
Wear face shield (and/or safety glasses) and hard hat to
protect against falling debris. Always have a clear work
area, retreat path, and be aware of limb/branch location to
avoid falling limbs and debris. Keep bystanders 50 feet
(15 m) away when operating saw. Do not expose to rain.
Store Indoors. (Fig. 2 & 3)
WARNING:
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye
protection.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing the
pruning extension.
• Before using, check that the chain saw is securely
attached to the pruning extension by bolt.
• Always use eye and head protections.
• Always clear the work area before operation.
• Never cut in an unstable posture (e.g., cutting from a
ladder or tree).
• To avoid the risk of injury from falling branches, never
stand directly under the branch being cut.
• A branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the
cut, if you cut off a branch from the bottom.
Installing pruning extension on chain saw
Remove the battery cartridge from the chain saw and take
out a hex wrench from the switch rod provided on the
pruning extension. Remove the switch rod with the hex
wrench. (Fig. 4 & 5)
Insert the pruning extension into the chain saw by sliding
it down from the top. (Fig. 6)

Return the hex wrench onto the switch rod after use.
Switch action (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the pruning
extension, always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidently pulled,
a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress the
lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
Extension of shaft
Hold the joint firmly and turn the lock ring
counterclockwise to loosen it. Then extend the shaft to the
desired length. (Fig. 10)
To secure the shaft, first align both arrows indicated on
the joint and the connector. Then turn the lock ring
clockwise. (Fig. 11)
OPERATION (Fig. 12)
Always wear safety goggles and safety helmet. To avoid
the risk of injury from falling branches, never stand directly
under the branch being cut.
For improved control, when operating the chain saw with
the pruning extension handle, be sure to grasp only the
rubber surfaces of the pruning extension handle.
When not in use, store bolts and switch rod in place in the
pruning extension handle.
