Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, C, E, F)
1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain
14
tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
13
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in Figure E. There should be
no “sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on
the underside as shown in Figure F.
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.
5. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten hex head
screws
12
to clamp bar.
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. G)
1. A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor
oil should be used for saw chain
14
and guide bar
13
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 G. Also lubricate the saw chain
whenever replacing a fully discharged battery with a
fully charged one.

with the scabbard

when transporting
the pole saw.
