OPERATING POLE
TRIMMER
WARNING: Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual before
operating Pole Trimmer. Make cer-
tain you read and understand all
Safety Warnings on pages 2 and
3 of this manual. Improper use
of this Pole Trimmer can result in
severe injury or death from fire,
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, page 5).
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.

age drop at Pole Trimmer. Pole Trimmer will
lose power and overheat. Follow cord size

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make
sure cord does not catch on branches dur-
ing cutting. Inspect cord often. Replace
damaged cords.
