WARNING!
NEVER START WORK UNLESS THE
CHAIN AND BAR ARE LUBRICATED.
3. SAW CHAIN LUBRICATION
2. TENSIONING THE CHAIN
1. Place the telescopic
pole pruner on a level
surface.
2. Clean the area around the oil
tank cap and then open it.
3. Fill the oil tank with BAR AND
CHAIN OIL (not supplied) to
maximum fill line. Do not overfill
in doing so, make sure that no
dirt gets into the oil tank. This will
ensure that the oil nozzle does
not clog.
4. Close the oil tank cap.

WARNING!:
THE USE OF THE POLE PRUNER
WITHOUT BAR AND CHAIN OIL OR WITH AN OIL
LEVEL BELOW THE MINIMUM OIL LEVEL MARK WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CHAIN!
1. Loosen the chain cover
lock. Do not remove the
side cover.
2. Adjust the chain tension with the
chain tensioning dial. Turning
the dial CLOCKWISE increases
the chain tension, turning it
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
decreases the chain tension.
3. For the correct chain tension,
firmly pull up on the chain at the
middle of the top of the exposed
guide bar. When the chain is
pulled up to its highest point, the
bottom tip of the links should only
just stay in the track [middle of the
guide bar]
4. After the chain has been
accurately tensioned, lock
the guide bar in place with
the chain cover lock.
5. Check the tension again
after a few minutes of cutting and several times in the first hour
because the chain will lengthen as it breaks in. Adjust as you go. A
loose chain causes rapid wear to both the chain and the guide bar
and could derail causing a major safety hazard.
NOTE
:
Proper tension of the chain is extremely important and must be
checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation. Taking
the time to make adjustments to the chain will result in improved
cutting performance and prolonged chain life.
5. To check the lubricating system, switch on the pole pruner and hold
it with the guide bar and chain above some light coloured paper
such as newspaper. A steadily increasing stain caused by oil spray
shows the lubricating system is working.
NOTE:
Guide bar oil may leak if the tool is left for long periods. This is
normal. If the tool is to be left unused for an extended time, drain the
oil from the tool. Refill before use.
MAX.
CAUTION!:
IF YOU TRY TO ROTATE THE CHAIN
TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT DIAL WHILST THE CHAIN
COVER LOCK IS TIGHT, IT WILL RESULT IN THE CHAIN
NOT LOOSENING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE
MECHANISM.
