Installing and Removing Saw Chain
(Fig. A, C–E)
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the
handle before performing the following operations. Failure
to do this could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective
gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is
sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
1. Place the pole saw on a firm surface. Rotate the two
hex head screws
12
counterclockwise with the hex
wrench
16
provided.
2. Remove sprocket cover
head screws.
3. To remove the saw chain
front of the housing using the flat screwdriver end of the
wrench. Turning the screw counterclockwise allows the
guide bar
13
to recede and reduces the tension on the
chain so that it may be removed.
4. Lift the worn saw chain out of the groove in the guide bar.
5. Flip guide bar over.
6. To replace the saw chain, check to make sure that the slot in
the guide bar is over the location pins
that hole below the slot is located over the adjustment pin.
7. Place new chain in groove of guide bar and around
sprocket. Make sure saw teeth are facing correct direction by
matching the graphic on housing or guide bar.
8. Rotate the screw in the front of the housing clockwise to
increase the chain tension.
9. Replace sprocket cover, bar clamp, and hex head screws.
10. Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting
Chain Tension.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, C, D, F, G)
1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain

tension. The tension is correct when the saw chain
snaps back after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide
bar
13
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
19
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.

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.
Chain Oiling (Fig. H)
1. A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor
oil should be used for saw chain
lubrication. 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.
2. Lubricate the whole saw chain evenly before each use as
shown in Figure H. Also lubricate the saw chain whenever
replacing a fully discharged battery with a fully charged one.

Joining Saw Head Module to Handle Module
(Fig. I–L)
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
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

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.
