manual abstract
Note: The trigger must be depressed before the bracket will go onto the handle. Push the lockout button and depress the trigger. While holding the trigger in, place the trigger support portion of the bracket under the trigger and slide the bracket onto the chain saw handle. The bracket will keep the trigger in the “on” position. 2. Align holes in pole bracket with holes in handle bracket. Install Phillips head screws with lockwashers through pole bracket from left side and thread into the weld nuts on the handle bracket. Tighten screws securely by hand. 3. Plug the saw power cord into receptacle cord at end of inner pole. OPERATING CHAIN SAW WARNING: Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating this Pole Saw. Make certain you read and understand all Important Safety Information, pages 2 through 4. Improper use of this Pole Sawcan cause severe injury or death from fire, electrical shock, or body contact with moving chain, or falling wood. EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords with this Pole Saw. Use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord type designation. Example: SJTW-A or SJTW. Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will cause voltage drop at saw. Saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed below. Cord Length AWG Cord Size 25 feet 16 AWG 50 feet 16 AWG 100 feet 16 AWG 150 feet 14 AWG Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches or logs during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords. The extension cord may come undone from the power cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot with the two cords as shown in Figure 7. ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH The Remington Pole Saw has a telescoping pole assembly that will extend from 57 inches (fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully extended). A threaded compression coupling is used to hold the pole in position at any extended length. 1. To extend the pole, loosen coupling by turning coupling nut counterclockwise as shown in Figure 8. Pole will slide freely. 2. Pull inner pole section out to desired length of extension. Note: Only extend pole to minimum length required to reach limb that is being cut. 3. To lock pole in position, tighten coupling by turning coupling nut clockwise (see Figure 8) until firmly hand tight. Make sure saw handle is aligned with pole handle before tightening coupling nut.IMPORTANT: Do not use wrench or pliers to overtighten coupling. Damage to coupling or pole may result. OILING CHAIN Always check oil level before using saw. Do not attempt to operate the oil system while saw is in operation. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb. Oil will feed onto the guide bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb at least once before each cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, between front handle and front hand guard. CUTTING WITH THE POLE SAW 1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect extension cord to power supply. 2. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only designated grip areas when operating Pole Saw (see Figure 9). Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around Pole Saw handle and pole. 3. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. 4. When ready to make a cut, press in trigger switch lock-out and squeeze trigger switch (see Figure 10). This will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing trigger switch will turn Pole Saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut. 5. When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw. 6. Guide Pole Saw using light pressure. Do not force Pole Saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. 7. Remove Pole Saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting Pole Saw down. Continued 108540 15 OPERATING CHAIN SAW Continued TRIMMING A TREE (PRUNING) WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page 3, to avoid risk of kickback. Trimming a tree is the process of cutting limbs from a living tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to trim a tree. 1. Make first cut six inches from tree trunk on underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see Figure 18). 2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb. Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut until you cut limb off. 3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub. 4. Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down to meet t...
