Operation
Right Chain Tension
6. Now turn the
inner
ring of the chain tensioner (4) in order to
fix the saw chain (1) in this position.
Chain Oil
1. The pole saw is supplied without oil. Before using the pole
saw for the first time, fill suitable chain oil into the oil tank (3).
Operating the pole saw without chain oil will damage the
machine.
2. Open the oil tank cap. Only use bio-degradable chain saw oil.
Observe the oil level indicator on the oil tank. The oil tank has
to be filled at least up to the half. While filling, make sure dirt
cannot get into the oil tank. Dirt can damage the built-in oil
pump.
Saw Chain
Only use sharp chains. Dull chains easily can get jammed.
While working with new chains, regularly check the chain
tension because new chains can lengthen considerably upon
initial operation.
The service life of a saw chain mainly depends on sufficient
lubrication and correct tensioning.
Do not tension a hot chain again. After cooling down, the chain
may shorten and therefore becomes over tensioned.
