Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, D, F, G)
1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw chain
14 tension. The tension is correct when the saw chain snaps
back after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar
with light force from the middle finger and thumb as shown
in Fig. F. There should be no "sag" between the guide bar and
the saw chain on the underside as shown in Fig. G.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen hex head
screws 12 .
3. Rotate the screw 20 in the front of the housing using the
flat screwdriver end of the wrench.
4. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and
saw chain. Overtensioning also reduces the amount of cuts
you will get per battery charge.
5. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten hex head screws
12 to clamp bar.
6. When the saw chain is new check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours of use
as a new chain stretches slightly.
nOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly.
Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig. H)
Auto Oiling System
This pole saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps
the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The oil level
indicator shows the level of the oil in the chain saw. If the oil
25
level is less than a quarter full, remove the battery from the pole
saw and refill with the correct type of oil.
nOTE: Always empty oil tank when finished cutting.
nOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain
and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent
SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable
based bar and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees.
Mineral oil is not recommended because it may harm trees.
Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage your
pole saw.

Filling the Oil Reservoir

• Remove the oil cap 17
recommended bar and chain oil until the oil level has
reached the top of the oil level indicator
• Refit the oil cap.
• Periodically switch the chain saw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properly oiled.
Transporting Pole Saw (Fig. A)
Always remove the battery pack
the saw chain 14 with the scabbard
pole saw.

and fill the reservoir with the
25 .
6 from the handle and cover
15 when transporting the
Joining Saw Head Module to Handle Module
(Fig. I–L)

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
13
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the
handle and that the protective scabbard is in place on the
chain before performing the following operations. Failure
to do this could result in serious personal injury.
The three assembliess which make up the pole saw are keyed
to insure correct assembly. If an assembly does not smoothly
attach to another do not force fit.
Combining the handle assembly
assembly 3 creates a pole saw that is approximately 1.8 m in
length as shown in Fig. I.
To attach the handle assembly to the saw head assembly:
1. Align the groove
the handle assembly
of the coupling end of the saw head assembly
Fig. J. Push the two sections completely together. Refer to
Fig. K.
2. Slide the threaded sleeve
down as far as possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise
until it stops and completely covers the threads as shown
in Fig. L.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the sleeve
is completely threaded on and that the red threads are
no longer visible. Not threading the sleeve completely
on could result in the assemblys becoming disconnected
creating a hazardous condition. Periodically check the
connections to insure that no red threads are visible.
Joining Center Extension to Saw Head
Module and Handle Module (Fig. A, M)
Adding the center extension
saw head assembly
2.7 m in length as shown in Fig. M.
Refer to to Joining Saw Head Module to Handle Module for
directions on how to attach the middle assembly to the handle
assembly and saw head assembly.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the sleeve
is completely threaded on and that the red threads are
no longer visible. Not threading the sleeve completely
on could result in the assemblys becoming disconnected
creating a hazardous condition. Periodically check the
connections to insure that no red threads are visible.
