BATTERIES

Battery packs which have not been used for some time should 

be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the 

performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to 

heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have to 

be fully charged. 
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery 

pack from the charger once it is fully charged.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C 

and away from moisture

Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition

Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

MAINTENANCE

Adding the chain lubricating oil (see picture section)
WARNING!

 Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw 

chain is running without lubricant, the guide bar and the saw 

chain can be damaged. It is essential to frequently check the oil 

level in the oil level gauge and before starting to use the Pole 

saw.
Keep the reservoir more than ¼ full to ensure suffi  cient oil is 

available for the job.
Note It is recommended to use a vegetable based chain oil 

when pruning trees. Mineral oil may harm trees. Never use 

waste oil automotive oil, or very thick oils. These could damage 

the Pole saw.Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent 

contamination.

Adjusting the chain tension (see picture section)

 WARNING! 

 The saw chain is sharp. Always wear 

pro-tective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain.
The chain tension is correct when the gap between the cutter in 

the chain and the bar is about 3 mm. Pull the chain in the 

middle of the lower side of the bar downwards (away from the 

bar) and measure the distance between the bar and the chain 

cutters.Tighten the bar mounting nuts by turning it counter 

clockwise.

Note  

Do not over-tension the chain - excess tension will cause  

excessive wear and will reduce the life of the chain and could 

damage the bar. New chains could stretch and loosen during 

initial use. Remove battery pack and check chain tension 

frequently  during the fi rst two hours of use.The temperature of 

the chain increases during normal operation causing the chain 

to stretch. Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as 

required. A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon 

cooling. Make sure that the chain tension is correctly adjusted 

as specifi ed in these instructions.

Chain and Bar

After every few hours of use, remove the drive cover, guide bar 

and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft bristle brush. 

Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris. When replacing dull 

chains with sharp chains it is good practice to fl ip the chain bar 

from bottom to top.
