Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, C, E, F)
1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain
14
tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
13
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in FigureE. There should be
no “sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on
the underside as shown in FigureF.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen hex head
screws
12
.
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
19
in the front of the
housing using the flat screwdriver end of the wrench.
4. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain. Overtensioning also reduces the amount
of cuts you will get per battery charge.
5. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten hex head
screws
12
to clamp bar.
6. When the saw chain is new check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours of
use as a new chain stretches slightly.
NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly.

Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig.G)
Auto Oiling System
This pole saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
The oil level indicator
25
shows the level of the oil in the
chain saw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, remove
the battery from the pole saw and refill with the correct
type of oil.
NOTE: Always empty oil tank when finishedcutting.
NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain
and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-
detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of
a vegetable based bar and chain oil is recommended when
pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended because it
may harm trees. Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These
may damage your pole saw.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
• Remove the oil cap
17
and fill the reservoir with the
recommended bar and chain oil until the oil level has
reached the top of the oil level indicator
25
.
• Refit the oil cap.
• Periodically switch the chain saw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properlyoiled.

Transporting Pole Saw (Fig. A)
Always remove the battery pack
6
from the handle and cover
the saw chain
14
with the scabbard
15
when transporting
the pole saw.
Joining Saw Head Module to
HandleModule (Fig. H–K)

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent
accidental operation, insure that battery is
disconnected from the handle and that the protective
scabbard is in place on the chain before performing
the following operations. Failure to do this could result
in serious personal injury.
The three assembliess which make up the pole saw are
keyed to insure correct assembly. If an assembly does not
smoothly attach to another do not force fit.
Combining the handle assembly
1
to the saw head
assembly
3
creates a pole saw that is approximately 6'
(1.8m) in length as shown in Figure H.
To attach the handle assembly to the saw head assembly:
1. Align the groove
21
on the outside of the coupling
end of the handle assembly
1
with the tongue 
22
on the inside of the coupling end of the saw head
assembly
3
. Refer to FigureI. Push the two sections
completelytogether. Refer to FigureJ.
2. Slide the threaded sleeve
9
on the saw head assembly
down as far as possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise
until it stops and completely covers the threads as
shown in FigureK.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the
sleeve is completely threaded on and that the red
threads are no longer visible. Not threading the sleeve
completely on could result in the assemblys becoming
disconnected creating a hazardous condition.
Periodically check the connections to insure that no
red threads are visible.
