Disassembling the Worn Bar and
Chain (Fig . 10)
1. Remove the battery, allow the saw to
cool. Make sure the oil-tank cap is snug to
prevent oil leakage.
2. Position the pole saw on its side on a firm,
flat surface, so that the side cover is facing
upwards.
3. Wear gloves. Remove the side cover by
turning the locking knob counterclockwise.
Clean the side cover with a dry cloth.
4. Remove the bar and chain from the
mounting surface on the housing. Remove
the worn chain from the bar.
NOTICE: This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket for excessive wear or damage.
Assembling the New Bar and Chain
1. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool. Make sure the oil-tank cap is snug to prevent
oil leakage.
2. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on a flat surface and straighten any kinks (Fig. 11a).
3. Place the chain drive links into the guide bar groove. Make sure that the cutter direction
arrows on the saw chain correspond to the rotation direction arrow of the guide bar.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the guide bar as shown (Fig. 11b).
