OPERATION
Always exercise caution when using your pole saw, employing strict safety
measures no matter your level of experience or expertise.
Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to
provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead
electric lines, consult local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric
power lines, and ensure that the operating position is safe and secure before
operating the saw chain pole pruner.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
Only use the attachments recommended by the manufacturer. The use of attach-
ments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
Inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts before each use.
Tighten all fasteners and do not operate this product until all missing or
damaged parts are replaced.
6.1 ADD LUBRICATION OIL
Switch off and remove the battery from the machine before adjusting, storing, or
cleaning. Keep in mind that the blades continue to move after the pole saw is
switched off. Never touch the moving blades.
Prior to each use, check that there is enough chain oil inside the unit. Without
proper oil levels, your pole saw will not function properly. To lubricate your pole
saw, follow the steps below.
NOTE: The pole saw was not filled with oil at the time of purchase. It is essential to fill the
tank with chain oil before use. We recommend using SAE#10W-30 oil or an equivalent
bar and chain oil from a hardware store.

1.
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
2.
Place the pole saw upright to ensure that the oil tank cap is facing upwards. Unscrew
the oil tank cap and remove it. (Fig. 5A)
3.
Fill the oil tank with chain oil. The oil level should be above the "MIN" limit and below
the "MAX" limit. (Fig. 5B)
4.
Close the oil cap and secure it again.

6.2 START / STOP THE TOOL
See the "TO START/STOP THE POWER HEAD" section in the GREEN MACHINE
power head GMMT6200-PH operator's manual.
6.3 TO CUT BRANCHES
Use great care when working close to overhead power lines. Falling branches
can result in shock or fire.
Reinstall the cutting guard and remove the battery pack after each operation.
1.
Position yourself so that you can make the cut at right angles to the branch. Hold the
tool firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or sideways movement of the tool.
2.
Guide the tool through the branch using light pressure. If you force the cut, damage
to the bar, chain or motor can result.
3.
Cut long branches into sections so that you have better control over where they fall.
Pay attention to the fact that falling branches can bounce in the direction of the user
after hitting the ground.
4.
When cutting from the top of the limb, hold the bucking spikes against the limb being
cut to provide support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting attachment
from bouncing on the branch.
