OPERATION
General Notes
The Westfalia Electric Pole Saw is a rugged, powerful device, but you should nevertheless
note a few words of advice.
Always make sure that there is enough oil in the oil tank. The Chain should always be well-
oiled, if necessary soak the chain in bio-degradable chainsaw oil before starting work. You
can purchase chainsaw oil based on caster oil from the Westfalia Werkzeug Company in
quantities of 1 litre (No. 53 59 55) or 5 litres (No. 53 59 63). While using the saw make sure
that the chain is always
well-soaked in oil. If this is not the case manually oil the chain. Make sure that the oil level
does not drop under the minimum mark. Some light smoking is inevitable and no reason for
concern.
Lift off the black plastic cover after every use and clean the area under it.
Also clean the pinhole in the oil container lid after each use.
Keep the groove in the guide bar clean at all times. If the unit fails to oil the chain properly it
may well be that the groove is full of saw dust and bark shavings. Remove the chain and
clean out the groove with a suitable tool or blow it out with compressed air.
To keep the unit at top performance the chain must be sharp. If you notice that the unit’s
performance is not as it should be and the chain does not eat into the wood by itself, the
chain should be sharpened. Either use the Westfalia saw chain sharpener or have the chain
sharpened by a professional. When the chain is ground down to the wear mark it should be
replaced. Saw chains are
available from the Westfalia Werkzeug Company in sets of two and one drive sprocket. (No.
56 07 48). The drive sprocket should be changed after every second chain.
Changing of the Saw Chain .
Always pull the power plug before undertaking any maintenance work.
The saw chain is full of sharp edges. When handling it you should always wear
gloves. Slacken the chain until it hangs loose by inserting the included combination tool into
the Allen head screw of the chain tensioner. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until the chain
is very loose. Next dismount the black plastic cover. Take out the screw (6) and unscrew the
hex nut (7). Take off the
