CAUTION: The saw head has safety
features that prevent attaching it
directly to the power handle without
the pole in between. Do not attempt to
defeat these safety features and attach
the saw head directly to the power
handle. Doing so could result in severe
personal injury.
To detach the saw head or pole:
1. Grasp the saw head or pole rmly
with one hand and twist the lock ring
to the unlocked position with the other
hand. (see gure 11)
Figure 11
2. Pull the saw head and pole
apart. The power handle and tool
attachments should separate easily.
If they do not, check to be sure that
the lock rings are in the fully unlocked
position.

1. Align the rib on the battery pack with
the corresponding slot in the end of the
power handle. (see gure 12)

handle making sure that the spring-
loaded buttons on each side of the
battery pack snap into place in the
handle.
Removing the Battery
1. Depress the spring-loaded
buttons on both sides of the battery
simultaneously. (see gure 13)

from the handle.
To turn the tool on:
1. Grip the control grip rmly with one
hand and grip the extension pole on
the pole saw with the other hand.
