Cleaning

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the pole chain 

saw. Never let any liquid get inside the motor housing and 

NEVER immerse any part of the saw housing in liquid.

Storage

•  Ensure that the guide bar cover is in place when storing 

and transporting.

•  Do not store the pole chain saw near chemicals, such 

as fertilizers or other harsh solvents. Do not expose 

the plastic parts of the unit to brake fluids, gasoline, 

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, or the like. 

These products are often highly corrosive and may cause 

permanent damage, weaken, or destroy the plastic parts 

of your pole chain saw.

stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of
