Poulan 952802360 8 amp 1.5 HP Electric Pole Pruner with 10-Inch Bar and Chain, Boom Telescopes up to 8 Feet Review

I bought this saw primarily because the saw itself can be removed from the pole and used as any other electric saw.
The saw ships detached from the pole and I first used it that way.
I found it very easy and reliable. I trimmed several limbs and cut down two small trees, about 5 - 6 inches thick with no problems. The chain must be adjusted after only a few cuts, hopefully this will improve.
I then attached it to the pole. This is NOT as easy as the instructions suggest. The picture guide is tiny and does not do a good job of illustrating the procedure. The problem is that the bracket that secures the saw to the pole comes in two pieces. One piece must be worked into the trigger guard of the saw on such a way that a part of the bracket depress the trigger. The second piece, which is part of the pole, must then be secured with four screws to the first. The holes do not line up easily, the weight of the pole made it hard to keep the holes lined up and the bracket slipped off several times.It took 30 minutes to attach the saw to the pole. This is a two person job.
Also being new to chain saw, I did not realize that even an electric saw must have oil to lube the chain and guide. This saw does not come with chain saw oil. This cost me time in going to the store to buy oil.
Once mounted, I used the saw to trim limbs off of a tree far above my head. The saw became a little heavy after about 45 minutes, plenty of time to do some serious trimming.
The only flaw is in how the pole locks once extended. I found it impossible to lock the pole enough to:
- prevent the saw from rotating out of alignmnet with the pole mounted trigger switch
- prevent the saw itself from rotating while cutting
It was still usable but not as effective.
One last point, the power plug tends to snag and become unplugged.
