SAFETY HANDLING
WARNING
Do not operate the pole saw attachment before reading all Safety and Handling sections.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing when operating a power tool. Do not operate the pole
saw under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication or when you are tired or sick.
• Do not operate the pole saw for any other purpose except that for which it is intended.
• Use only manufacturer’s genuine recommended replacement parts and accessories.
Before using the pole saw
•
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses with side shield and a helmet.
Always wear nonslip safety shoes, ear muffs and gloves.
• Know the pole saw controls and learn how to stop operating the unit quickly in an
emergency by releasing the “ON / OFF” switch.
• Before using the pole saw, make sure that the blade assembly is not worn or damaged.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry or long hair which can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. Never operate in bad weather, especially
when there is a risk of lightning.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
WARNING
• Maintain 50 ft (15 m) between the unit and any electrical line to reduce the risk of
electrocution.
• Electricity can jump from one pole to another by arching. Higher voltage increases the
distance that causes electricity to arc.
WARNING
Bystanders must be kept at least 50 ft (15 m) away from cutting head during operation.
• Stop the machine immediately if approached.
• Be careful when turning or swinging the unit.
• Look before turning or changing direction.

Refer Fig.-10.
2. Then push the pin (4) on the attachment shaft (2)

rotation of the cutting head may assist with
smoother engagement.
3. Ensure that the pin (2) on the attachment shaft
locks into the corresponding hole on the coupling.
4. Then firmly re-tighten the knob (3).
5. To disassemble, reverse order of assembly.
Locking the pin (2) into the shaft hole (5)

damage the connection & void product
warranty. (Fig.11).
Do not Start or Run powerhead unit
without shafts & guards fully assembled.
Take care when fitting & tightening.
Beware of pinch points.
