WARNING: Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual be-
fore operating this Pole Saw.
Make certain you read and un-
derstand all Safety Warnings.
Improper use of this Pole Saw
can cause severe injury or death
from fire, electrical shock, or body
contact with moving chain, or
falling wood.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords with this Pole
Saw. Use only extension cords marked for
outdoor use. The cord must be marked with
suffix W or W-A following the cord type
designation.
Example:
SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper size cord with this saw. Cord
must be heavy enough to carry current
needed. An undersized cord will cause volt-
age drop at saw. Saw will lose power and
overheat. Follow cord size requirements
listed below.
Cord Length AWG cord size
25 feet 16
50 feet 16
100 feet 14
150 feet 12
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make
sure cord does not catch on branches or logs
during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace
damaged cords. The extension cord may
come undone from the power cord during
use. To avoid this, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Figure 7.

ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH
The Remington Pole Saw has a telescoping
pole assembly that will extend from 57
inches (fully retracted) to 96 inches (fully
extended). A threaded compression cou-
pling is used to hold the pole in position at
any extended length.
1. To extend the pole, loosen coupling by
turning coupling nut counterclockwise as
shown in Figure 8. Pole will slide freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired
length of extension.
Note:
Only extend
pole to minimum length required to
reach limb that is being cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten cou-
pling by turning coupling nut clockwise
(see Figure 8) until firmly hand tight.
Make sure saw handle is aligned with
pole handle before tightening coupling
nut.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use wrench
or pliers to overtighten coupling. Dam-
age to coupling or pole may result.

OILING CHAIN
To oil chain, press oil cap. Oil will feed onto
guide bar and chain. Press oil cap at least
once before each cut. Always check oil level
before using Pole Saw. Check oil level often
by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight
level hole is on left side of saw, between
front handle and front hand guard. Do not
attempt to operate the oiler while cutting
with the Pole Saw.
CUTTING WITH THE POLE
SAW
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Con-
nect extension cord to power supply .
2. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use
only designated grip areas when oper-
ating Pole Saw (see Figure 9). Use firm
grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around Pole Saw handle and pole.
3. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
feet apart. Divide your weight evenly
on both feet.
4. When ready to make a cut, press in trig-
ger switch lock-out and squeeze trig-
ger switch (see Figure 10). This will
turn Pole Saw on. Releasing trigger
switch will turn Pole Saw off. Make
sure saw is running at full speed be-
fore starting a cut.
5. When starting a cut, place moving chain
against wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in
place to avoid possible bouncing or
skating (sideways movement) of saw.
6. Guide Pole Saw using light pressure.
Do not force Pole Saw. The motor will
overload and can burn out. It will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
7. Remove Pole Saw from a cut with saw
running at full speed. Stop Pole Saw by
releasing trigger. Make sure chain has
stopped before setting Pole Saw down.
