Pole saw lock broken when i extend handle need new lock

Want to saw up high, but think it's dangerous to saw on a ladder? Good thinking. So how can you get your saw to reach those high branches while keeping your feet planted on the ground?

Take a lightweight chainsaw, add a stick, and you get a pole saw.
TYPE There are three types of pole saw. You can choose any one of them based on your requirements.
CORDLESS POLE SAW Cordless pole saws are said to be the handiest pole saw as it removes the hassle of carrying wires and cords during pruning. It operates through a rechargeable battery. But, due to its battery pack, its operation time is very specific. If you want to extend the time for heavy duties, you can use extra battery packs.
One of the best advantages of cordless pole saw is its need for low-maintenance. You would hardly need to maintain its well-being.
GAS POWERED POLE SAW Gas powered pole saws are mostly chosen by the professionals for its heavy-duty bars and chains and have the power to cut huge and large branches with ease. This pole saw can be extended up to 9 inches so you might distinguish its expertise in trimming high rise trees. It is good for regular use. It is heavier than the electric one and noisy also. Despite being heavy, you would not face any problem working with it as the pole saw is easy to balance.
ELECTRIC POLE SAW Electric pole saws are preferred for small branches trimming as it has blades of 6"-10". It weighs about 10 pounds that means you can carry the saw effortlessly. It does not require high maintenance as well. Plug the long extension cord before you start, aim at the branches and begin pruning with this electric pole saw.

Guide on How to Pick the Perfect Pole Saw

If you want to replace handle bracket go to the link Pole Saw

You simply mount the saw between the two metal plates.
There are two screws holding the plates together.
Look in the owners manual and it will guide you how to attach the saw.
Once the saw is attached, plug in the power cable that is on the end of the pole. One word of advice....there is a large locking collar ring that enables the two poles to extend and lock together. There has been numerous reports that the locking collar ring splits due to overexersion. You can add a stainless worm clamp (similar to a radiator hose clamp) around the rind and tighten it securely. Be sure it is a heavy duty wide clamp. This will help to keep the ring from splitting under pressure.

lots of luck there, if you have tried Remington, with no luck may i suggest a automotive hose clamp and a piece of inter tube.

1. Remove battery from chain saw.

2. Separate main handle from chain saw

power head by pressing both release

buttons on main handle and pulling

apart. The release buttons are just in

front of the trigger.

3. Align rib on chain saw power head with

groove in power head adapter on pole.

4. Slide power head into power head

adapter until units "snap" together.

IMPORTANT: Both release

buttons on power head adapter must be

fully engaged.

5. Align rib on handle adapter on pole

with groove in main handle.

6. Slide main handle into handle adapter

until units "snap" together.

IMPORTANT: Both release buttons

on main handle must be fully

engaged.

7. Slide battery onto main handle until

release buttons "snap" together.

Be sure the battery is charged.

To extend the pole:

1. Loosen the clamping

lever. Pole will slide

freely.

2. Pull inner pole section out to desired

length of extension.

3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping

lever.

There may be an underlying problem inside the handle. Sometimes the little nubs where the screws anchor crack inside the handle and will just turn when you try to tighten or loosen the screw. If you cannot back off the screw from the handle the nub is more than likely broken off from the handle. If this is the case you should order a new handle set from dewalt. You can then remove all the screws and then the little nub with a set of locking pliers. You could try to super glue the small piece back to the handle but it will fail eventually. If you have any questions please post back.

There are a few web sites you can go to for parts. But, if all you need is a part number, I need the model and may need the serial numbers to find the correct part.

You've got the one version of the Remington Pole Chain saws that doesn't have a separate parts breakdown online.

However, here's a owners manual for your pole saw and a parts breakdown that can be used for most replacement parts, as the RPS-96 is a similar version of your model.

Hope you find this very helpful and best regards!

I have the sollution, had the same problem with the broken compression nut. Just use two hose clamps, one to hold the pole extended and the other clamps around compression base. Its a cheap easy fix and it work great fo me. The Real Mr.Fixit
