recommended for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the Chain in the slot around the Guide Bar.
Ensure the Chain is in correct running direction
by comparing it to the chain icon on the Guide
Bar, or referring to the chain direction symbol
found on the saw body. (See Fig. A2)
5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket, so that the
Fastening Bar Bolt and the Bar Locating Tab on
the Bar Pad fit into the keyway of the opening on
the Guide Bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly. Make
sure the drive links are fully seated in the Drive
Sprocket (See Fig. C1), avoiding a kink as shown
in Fig. C2. If kink occurs, pick up the Chain at the
Guide Bar just ahead of the kink and then pull the
kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of
kinks.
7. Fit the Housing Cover. Tilt the guide bar forward
where the guide bar tip is pushed in an vertically
downward direction. This will remove slack from
the chain. The correct chain tension is reached
when the chain can be raised approx. Half the
drivelink depth from the guide bar in the center.
This should be done by using one hand to raise
the chain against the weight of the machine.
Then tighten the Housing Cover by turning the
Housing-Cover Knob clockwise until it is tight.
(See Fig. D)
NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when
18
it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the
drivelink is within the rail of the Guide Bar. (See
Fig. E)
NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes
loose, completely unscrew the Housing-Cover
Knob or turn the knob around three full turns in a
counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the
Housing-Cover Knob to properly reset the chain
tension by repeating Steps 1-7 listed above.
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the
chain tension frequently when first used and
tighten when the Chain becomes loose around
the Guide Bar.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE
Align and insert the handle of extension pole into
the shaft. Rotate the Locking Knob clockwise to
lock. (See Fig. F1, F2)
NOTE: Make sure that the shaft is firmly locked in
place.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE TO THE
MACHINE (See Fig F3, F4)
Step 1: Align and insert the extension pole into the
saw.
Step 2: Hang the buckle on the hook of the saw.
Press the Clamping Lever to tighten the extension
pole to the machine.
NOTE: Make sure the extension pole is locked into
Cordless Pruning Saw
position securely before operation.
REMOVING THE EXTENSION POLE (See Fig. F5)
Loosen the Clamping Lever to release the buckle.
Press the Extension Pole Release Button to
disconnect the extension pole with the saw.
WARNING! When using this machine with the
Extension Pole, make sure that the battery pack
has been removed.
LUBRICATION (See Fig.G1, G2)
Important: The Pruning Saw is not filled with oil.
It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the Pruning Saw without chain oil or at an
empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend on
optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain should
be oiled before operation.
Filling oil tank (See Fig.G1):
WARNING: Removing the battery pack before
filling the oil tank.
1. Set Pruning Saw on any suitable surface with oil
filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth and
unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler
cap and tighten by turning clockwise until hand
tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil tank,
small breather channels are provided
between the oil filler cap and the strainer, to
prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant (not
provided) that is formulated to perform over a
wide temperature range with no dilution required.
This can be found at the location where you
purchased this saw or your local hardware store.
Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.Use of
non approved oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store
away from heat or open flame.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
WARNING:Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves.
Put downward the chain saw. Lift the Chain Guard
to the maximum position for lubrication after filling
up the oil tank.(See Fig.G2) Proper functioning of
the automatic oiler can be checked by running the
Pruning Saw and pointing the tip of the guide chain
bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on the
