OPERATION

BATTERY PACK
(See Figure 4.)
IMPORTANT! The battery pack is not charged when it is purchased. Before using the pole saw for the first time, place the
battery pack in the battery charger and charge it fully. Be sure to read all safety precautions, and follow the instructions in the
section entitled Charging Procedure. With regular use, the battery will require shorter charging times. When storing the pole
saw for a prolonged period of time, remove the battery. When the pole saw is going to be used again, charge the battery pack
for at least a full charging period. This product has no memory effect.
Removing the battery pack
1. Press the latch button (1) on the battery pack down and hold.
2. Grasp the pole saw (2) firmly, and pull the battery pack out of the handle.
Note: The battery pack fits into the handle snugly in order to prevent accidental dislodging. It may require a strong pull to
remove it.
Installing the battery pack
1. Align the tongue (3) of the battery pack with the cavity.
2. Grasp the pole saw (2) firmly.
3. Push the battery pack into the handle until the latch locks into place.
4. Do not use force when inserting the battery pack. It should slide into position and "click".
WARNING:
Follow these instructions in order to avoid injury and to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire:
• Replace the battery pack or the charger immediately if the battery case or charger cord is damaged.
• Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting or removing the battery pack.

maintenance on any part of the pole saw.
