How to use
To operate the SKIL 0650CA, ensure the battery is fully charged and securely attached to the tool. Before starting, check that the chain tension is correct and the chain is properly lubricated. Position yourself firmly on stable ground, keeping a clear view of the branch you intend to cut. Extend the pole to the desired length and activate the saw only when the chain is in contact with the branch. Apply steady, controlled pressure, allowing the saw to perform the cutting work without forcing it through the wood.
What to consider before purchase

- The diameter of the branches you intend to prune
- Storage space for the pole assembly
Usage recommendations
