Disassembling the Worn Bar and Chain
1. Remove the battery, allow the pole saw to cool and tighten the oil-tank cap.
2. Position the pole saw attachment on its side on a firm, flat surface, so that
the chain-sprocket cover is facing upwards (Fig. H).
3. Wear gloves. Using the dual-head
wrench provided, loosen the cover-
