Detaching Pole Saw Assembly (Fig. B, C, K)

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the
handle and that the protective scabbard is in place on the
chain before performing the following operations. Failure
to do this could result in serious personal injury.
When detaching the assemblies, always detach the pole saw
attachment 
1
first.
To Remove the Extension Pole from the Pole
SawAttachment:
1. Install scabbard
14
on guide bar andchain.
2. When removing the pole saw attachment
1
from the
extension pole
17
, loosen the knob
13
.
3. Depress the latching button
18
located on the extension
pole coupler
12
, and pull the pole saw attachment
1
away
from the extension pole
11
.
To Remove the Powerhead from the extension pole:
1. When removing the extension pole
11
from the
powerhead
17
, loosen the knob
13
. Then depress the
latching button
18
and pull the extension pole
11
away

Combining the powerhead
17
to the pole saw attachment
1
creates a pole saw that is approximately 1.8m in length.
To Attach the Powerhead to the Pole Saw Attachment:
1. When installing the pole saw attachment
1
into the upper
powerhead pole
17
, align the latching button
18

as shown in Fig. B.
2. Turn the knob
13
clockwise to lock attachment to upper
powerheadpole. When properly assembled, it should look
like Fig. B. If it does not, do not use, disassemble and re-align
the pole saw attachment
1
so the latching button

Adding the extension pole
11
to the powerhead
17
and pole
saw attachment
1
creates a pole saw that is approximately
2.7m in length.
To Attach the Powerhead to the Extension Pole and Pole
Saw Attachment:
1. When installing the extension pole
11
into the upper
powerhead pole

clockwise to lock attachment to upper
powerheadpole.
To Attach the Pole Saw Attachment to the Extension Pole:
1. When installing the pole saw attachment
1
into the extension
pole
11
, align the latching button
18
with the hole

powerheadpole.
3. When properly assembled, it should look like Fig.C. If it
does not, do not use, disassemble and re-align the pole
saw attachment
1
so the latching button
18
engages the
