Filling Oil Tank with Bar and
Chain Lubricant
WARNING
oil or the pole saw . Oil may spill and cause a
fire.
WARNING
serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the tool before filling the
tank with oil .
NOTICE: The pole saw is not filled with oil at
the time of purchase. It is essential to fill the
tank with oil before use. Operating the pole
saw without chain oil or when the oil level is
below the minimum mark will result in damage to the pole saw. Chain life and cutting capacity
depend on optimum lubrication. The chain is automatically lubricated with chain oil during
operation.
1. Remove the battery pack from the pole saw.
2. Clean the oil tank cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the oil tank.
3. Position the pole saw on its side on a firm, flat surface, so that the tank cap is facing
upwards. Rotate the oil tank cap counterclockwise to remove it (Fig. 6).
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank. Be careful not to let the oil spill from the
opening. Do not overfill and leave approximately 3/8" (10mm) space between the oil level
and the inside edge of the tank to allow for expansion. Wipe off any excess oil.
5. Replace and fasten the cap.
NOTICE:
We recommend using environment-friendly biodegradable chain oil specifically intended to
•
be used with pole saws.
Never use oil or other lubricants not specifically designed for use on the bar and chain. This
•
can lead to a clogged oil system, which may cause premature wear of the bar and chain.
Check the oil level frequently and fill when the oil level falls below the minimum line. Never
•
operate the pole saw if the oil is not visible.
Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
•
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when it is not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the
•
oil tank after each use, and then run the saw for one minute. When storing the tool for a long
period of time, be sure the chain is lightly lubricated. This will prevent rust on the chain and
bar sprocket.
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult your local
•
waste authority for information regarding available recycling and disposal options.
Do not smoke or bring
any fire or flame near the
