NOTE
For longer chain life, let new or replacement chain loops soak in oil overnight before
installation
1. Remove the sprocket cover by removing the guide bar screws.
2. Place the guide bar with the notched end guide bar bolts
3. Lay out the chain in a loop. Ensure that the cutting teeth point in a clockwise direction.
4. Push the chain over the coupling on to the sprocket wheel of the chainsaw, and then place the chain
over the tip of the bar
5. Fit the sprocket cover. Ensure that the chain adjustment tang engages in the hole on the guide bar.
Only then will it be possible to fit the sprocket cover correctly. Important! The chain must not slip off
the guide bar .Then tighten sprocket cover nut.
Adjust the chain.
6. Place the pole pruner on a clean, flat surface(For re-adjustment during operation, shut down the
engine), then allow the guide bar and chain to cool before proceeding with the adjustment procedure
7. Loosen the sprocket cover nut with a plug wrench.
8. Lift the nose of the guide bar while turning the chain tensioning screw.
9. Pull the chain by hand
, using safety gloves,
along the top of the guide bar several times from the engine
to the bar's tip.
The chain should feel snug but still pull freely.
CAUTION
!
Failure to align the guide bar and chain
tensioning pin can cause serious damage to
the sprocket cover, guide bar, chain
tensioning pin and cutting head assembly.

10. Tighten the sprocket cover nut securely while lifting the tip of the guide bar.
The service life of the chain and guide bar is affected by the chain and guide lubricant. Using
superior lubricant such as genuine Bar and Chain Oil will help ensure a long service life. For cold
weather operation, mix bar and chain oil with an equal part of kerosene.
Filing the Oil Reservoir
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set
to deliver the minimum flow rate)
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the chain
rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a medium flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the field A
temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a lot of
pitch. Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the STOP position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil Reservoir up.
Working techniques - Relieving cut:
To avoid tearing the bark, kickback or first perform undercut and pinching the bar when pruning thick
cross-cut at a distance (A)of about branches, always star by performing 25cm (10”)from the final cut.
Then a relieving cut (1) on the underside of the branch.
To do this apply the cutting attachment and pull it across the bottom of the branch as far as the bar nose.
Perform the cross-cut (2)
Flush-cutting thick branches
If branch diameter is more than 10 cm (4), first perform undercut (3) and cross-cut at a distance (A) of
about 25cm (10) from the final cut. Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a relieving cut and
finishing with a cross-cut
