IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
DANGER! Do not operate near electrical power lines.The unit has not been
designed to provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact
with overhead electric lines, consult local regulations for safe distances
from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the operating position is
safe and secure before operating the tool.
POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
- Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the pole saw is operating. Before you start the pole saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.
- Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary saw chain or guide bar rails. These can be very sharp. Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps when handling the pole saw, saw chain, or guide bar.
- Always hold the pole saw with one hand on the rear handle and your other hand on the front handle. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or bystanders can result from a one-handed operation.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for the head, hands, legs, and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
- Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of a pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
- Always keep proper footing and operate the pole saw only when standing on a fixed, secure, and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole saw.
- Never operate a pole saw that is damaged or improperly adjusted or that is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger switch is released.
- Inspect the workpiece for nails, wire, or other foreign objects prior to cutting.
- When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole saw out of control.
- Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
- Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the pole saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as broken chain or bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
- Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent-guide bar can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
- Carry the pole saw with two hands on the handles, with the pole saw switched off. When transporting or storing the pole saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
- Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. The saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole pruner may result in serious personal injury.
- Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning, and changing accessories. The improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance of kickback. Keep the cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
- Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
- Cut wood only. Do not use a pole saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use a pole saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
- Stop the motor and remove the battery pack whenever you leave the tool.
- Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place with the battery pack removed, out of reach of children.
- Check damaged parts. Before further use of the product, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

NOTICE: Do not use dirty, used or other contaminated oils. Damage may
occur to the bar or chain.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (Fig. C)
Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” earlier in this manual for
appropriate safety equipment.
- Lift the tip of the guide bar to check for any sagging in the chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the “REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN” section in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for adjustment instructions.
- Check the tension of the bar nut before use. If it is loose, securely tighten the bar nut by turning it clockwise.
- Check the sharpness of cutting teeth on the saw chain and make sure the chain is well lubricated.
- Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection. Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting. Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing. Watch out for obstacles such as tree stumps, roots, and ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.
- Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Hold the unit firmly with both hands. Following the instructions in the section “HOLDING THE TELESCOPIC POWER POLE” in the PPX1000 operator’s manual
- For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder strap across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap into a comfortable operating position. Following the instructions in the section “MOUNTING THE SHOULDER STRAP” in the PPX1000 operator’s manual attaches the shoulder strap onto the power pole.
**WARNING:** The shoulder strap is also a quick-release mechanism in hazardous situations. When an emergency occurs, take it off your shoulder immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See the “STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER POLE” section in the power pole PPX1000
operator’s manual.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE (Fig. D & E)
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to trees or shrubs’ bark. Do not use
a back-and-forth sawing motion.
-
Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
-
Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.
-
Make a final cut close to the trunk.
NOTICE: For second and final cuts (from the top of limb or branch), hold the bucking spikes against the limb being cut (Fig. E). This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut with light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain or motor can result in. -
Release the trigger on the power pole as soon as the cut is completed.
NOTICE: Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
- Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
- If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and free the saw.
- If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.
LIMBING AND PRUNING (Fig. F)
This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up
to 20cm in diameter. For best results, observe the following precautions.
-
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
**WARNING:** Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut. -
The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60° or less. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of the limb) increases.
-
Remove long branches in several stages.
-
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
-
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
-
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave such operations for professionals.
-
Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off much of the limb to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
-
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
-
To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15 m of overhead electrical lines and keep bystanders at At least 15 m away.
