MAINTENANCE
WARNING — Remove the battery before inspecting,
adjusting, performing maintenance, or
cleaning the unit.
CLEANING
• Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents using
compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air vents free of
obstructions, sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray,
wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
•
Wipe off the housing and the plastic components
using a moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong solvents or
detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components.
Certain household cleaners may cause damage or
cause a shock hazard.
• Routinely clean out the dust and debris that gathers
under the tension housing, the oil outlet, and around
the bar and the chain sprocket. Otherwise it can jam
up the sprocket, the chain, and the lubrication system.
REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN AND
GUIDE BAR
WARNING — Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
The guide bar must be replaced if the groove of the guide is
worn out or the spur wheel in the guide bar is damaged or
worn out.
1.
Loosen the cover release knob to release the chain
sprocket cover (Figure 1). Remove the chain
sprocket cover.
CAUTION: Always wear protective gloves when
handling saw chains.
2.
Lift the worn saw chain out of the fitted slot in the
guide bar.
3.
Place the new chain in this position, making sure the
teeth are facing the correct direction and that the edge of
the chain fits into the slot around the guide
bar.
4.
Replace the cover and tighten the release knob. Adjust
tension before operating.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC CHAIN
LUBRICATION
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the
subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain
associated with it.
For this purpose, align the guide bar tip against a smooth
surface (board, cut-in of a tree) and allow the pole saw to
run. If an increasing amount of oil appears, the automatic
chain lubrication functions properly.
