• When supported at both ends. First, cut 1/3 down from the
top overbuck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking
the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut as shown below.
• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of
the log. When "cutting through", to maintain complete
control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the
cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.
Don't let the chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving
from cut to cut.

Joining Extension Assembly to the Handle
Assembly (Fig. K)
The two assemblies which make up the extension pole
assembly are keyed to insure a correct assembly. If an assembly
does not smoothly attach to another do not force fit.
To attach the handle assembly to the extension assembly:
1. Align the groove 39
end of the handle assembly
on the inside of the coupling end of the extension
assembly 26 , refer to Fig. K. Push the two sections
completely together. Refer to Fig. K.
2. Slide the threaded sleeve
down as far as possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise
until tightened and completely covers the threads as
shown in Fig. K.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the sleeve
is completely threaded on and that the threads are no
longer visible. Not threading the sleeve completely on
could result in the assemblies becoming disconnected
creating a hazardous condition. Periodically check the
connections to insure that no threads are visible.
Attaching Extension Cord to Pole Saw
(Fig. A, L)
An extension cord retainer
saw switch handle. It prevents the extension cord from
coming unplugged.
1. Double the extension cord and insert it into the slot
in the end of the handle area as shown in Fig. L.
2. Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the
cord retainer 21 . Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it
is firmly retained in the handle.
3. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the
power cord 23 of the pole saw.
NOTE: Always keep the extension cord away from the
cutting area and position the extension cord so that
it will not be caught on branches, and other material,
during cutting.
Joining Chainsaw and Extension Pole
Assembly (Fig. A, M–P)

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that unit is off and disconnected
from a power source before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.

WARNING: Always completely assemble the extension
pole assembly together before attaching the chainsaw
to the extension pole assembly.
Adding the extension pole assembly
creates a pole saw that is approximately 10' (3 m) in length.
1. Remove the pole saw adapter plate
saw adapter 28 by twisting the locking knob
counterclockwise. Refer to Fig. M.
2. Align the pole saw adapter
chainsaw handle 10 . Refer to Fig. N.
