ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS cont. 

     

CAUTION:

 The chain saw is 

NOT supplied filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil

before use. Never operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as

this will result in extensive damage to the product. Chain life and cutting capacity depends on

optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled during operation via oil outlet

!

LUBRICATION

ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE 

Filling oil tank: (See Figs. 5a and 5b)
1. Set chain 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 (Craftsman Bar & Chain Oil, SAE30) until reservoir is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, re-screw oil filler cap and tighten.

Align and insert the handle of extension pole into the shaft.

Rotate the locking collar clockwise to lock. (See Figs. 6a and 6b)

Note: Make sure that the shaft is firmly locked in place.

ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE

TO THE MACHINE
1. Insert the pole bracket into the saw.

    (See Fig. 7)

    Note: Pole bracket holds trigger

    in “ON” position.

2. Slide the handle bracket onto clamping bolt.
3. Screw the knob tightly. 
4. Plug saw power cord into receptacle

    cord at end of inner pole. (See Fig. 8)

     

CAUTION:

 To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are

provided between the oil filler cap and the strainer. To prevent leakage, ensure machine is

left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap uppermost) when not in use.

It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the chain saw.

Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty.

Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked by running the chain saw and

pointing the tip of the Guide chain bar (7) towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the

ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on the cardboard, the automatic oiler is

operating fine. If there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact customer service

agent or approved service agent.
Caution: Do not touch the ground with the chain. Ensure safety clearance of 12”.
