chain saw. If the oil 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

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.

Joining Saw Head Module to
Handle Module (Fig. L–O)
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.

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
