Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover  
all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that com-  
mon sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the  
operator.  
Assembly: The only assembly required is mounting the Saw Blade (#5) to the Base (#1). Line up the tab on the  
blade so that it fits in the small hole on the base making sure that the larger hole on the blade lines up with the  
larger hole on the Base (#1). Insert the Bolt (#19) and a Washer (#17) through the Saw Blade (#5) and the  
Base (#1). Secure it with the Wing Nut (#20). See the Assembly Drawing on page 4 and FIGURE 1 below.  
Operation  
1. On the Handle, twist the Lock Ring (#10) to loosen it and extend the telescoping handle to the desired length.  
Tighten the Lock Ring (#10).  
Note: After telescoping the Handle and before cutting, take up the slack in the rope and secure it around the  
Handle, out of your way.  
2. When using the Saw Blade (#5), make sure the blade is straight and not bending when cutting. Apply mimimal  
pressure allowing the blade to do the work.  
3. When using the Pruner Blade (#2), position the end of the handle against your hip and hold the Handle with  
one hand as far up the Handle as possible. Once you situate the branch to be cut in the jaws (see FIGURE 1),  
pull on the rope to clamp the Pruner Blade (#2) shut, cutting the branch.
