OPERATING POLE TRIMMER
WARNING: Read and un-
derstand this owner’s manual
before operating Pole Trimmer.
Make certain you read and un-
derstand all Safety Warnings
of this manual. Improper use of
this Pole Trimmer can result in
severe injury or death from fi re,
electric shock, or body contact
with moving parts.
2. Grasp the power head motor housing
and rotate the power head to either the
0, 45, or 90 degree position.
CONNECTING EXTENSION CORD
The Pole Trimmer has a built-in extension
cord retainer to prevent the accidental discon-
nection of the unit from the extension cord
during use. It is molded into the lower hand
guard area of the trigger housing.
1. Make sure the trigger lever is in the
OFF position (see Starting the Pole
Trimmer
2. Plug the power cord into the extension
cord.
PIVOTING THE POWER HEAD
The Pole Trimmer is equipped with a power
head that pivots. The power head is able to
pivot a full 180 degrees. The power head
has a spring-loaded T-handle that allows it
to be locked into several different positions
within its 180-degree rotation.
Before connecting the Pole Trimmer to the
electrical supply, make sure the power head
is locked into position. Do this by trying to
rotate the power head in either direction. The
power head should be locked in position and
should not rotate.
To pivot the power head, follow the instruc-
tions below.
1. Pull out on the T-handle located on the
side of the pivot bracket. The T-handle
is spring-loaded, so you will feel some
resistance when pulling it out.
3. Release the T-handle. It should snap
back into its seated position. If it does
not, rotate the power head back and
forth slightly until the T-handle snaps
back into its seated position. The power
head is now locked into position and
ready for use.
