Assembling the NEUTON Corded Pole Saw
Tools and Supplies Required:
•
7/32" Hex Key Wrench/ Blade Screwdriver (supplied)
•
Gloves
1. Using a 7/32” Hex Key Wrench, unscrew the Sprocket Cover Bolt
and remove the Cover (
Figure 1
).
2. Lay out the Saw Chain in a loop and straighten any kinks. The
sharp side of the Teeth should face in the direction of the Chain
rotation (
Figure 1
). If they face backwards, turn the loop over.
3. Place the Chain Drive Links into the Bar groove (
Figure 1
).
NOTE:
Make certain of the direction of the Chain.
4. Position the Chain so there is a loop at the back of the Bar
(
Figure 1
). Hold the Chain in position on the Bar and place the
loop around the Sprocket (
Figure 2
).
5. Fit the Bar flush against the mounting surface so that the Bar
Slot mounts onto the Slot Flange in the Head and hold firmly in
place.
NOTE:
When placing the Bar on the Flange, ensure that the Tensioner
Pin is in the Chain Tensioner Pin Hole in the Bar (
Figure 2
).
Adjust the Chain Tensioner Pin as needed by adjusting the
Chain Tensioner with a Flat Tip Screwdriver (
Figure 3
).
6. Tighten the Chain Tensioner Screw only enough to hold the Bar
and Chain in place (
Figure 3
) ensuring the Chain is still in place
over the Sprocket (
Figure 2
).
7. Install the Sprocket Cover by inserting the rear tab (
Figure 1
)
first into the Rear Tab Slot (
Figure 2
) and position the Cover
onto the Saw Head.
8. Install the Sprocket Cover Bolt by hand and leave the Bar free to
move for tension adjustment (
Figure 4
).
9. Remove all slack from the Chain by turning the Chain Tensioner
Screw (
Figure 3
) clockwise until the Chain seats snugly against
the Bar with the Drive Links in the Bar groove. For more
information on Chain tensioning, see Chapter 4 “Maintaining
Your NEUTON Corded Pole Saw”.
NOTE:
A cold Chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on
the underside of the Guide Bar, the Chain is snug, but you can
turn it by hand without binding.
10. Tighten the Sprocket Cover Bolt using the 7/32” Hex Key
Wrench (
Figure 4
).
