OPERATING POLE
TRIMMER
WARNING: Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual be-
fore operating Pole Trimmer.
Make certain you read and un-
derstand all
Safety Warnings on
pages 2 and 3 of this manual.
Improper use of this Pole Trim-
mer 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 dis-
connection 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 posi-
tion 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.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cord with this Pole
Trimmer. 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 sized cord with this Pole Trim-
mer. Cord must be heavy enough to carry
current needed. An undersized cord will
cause voltage drop at Pole Trimmer. Pole
Trimmer will lose power and overheat. Fol-
low cord size requirements listed below.
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make
sure cord does not catch on branches during
cutting. Inspect cord often. Replace dam-
aged cords.
