IMPORTANT:This lithium-ion battery is
equipped with an internal circuit breaker
which will automatically shut off the power
to the tool and then reset itself once cooled.
Follow these steps if an overload occurs while
under heavy use:
1. Release the trigger. Restart tool by
pulling the safety lock-out button back
and depressing trigger.
2. Under some conditions, the battery may
need to be removed for approximately
1 minute. This allows it to be cooled,
reinstall for use.

ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
Use a bar and chain lubricant (not included)
with this product. It is designed for chains and
chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over
a wide temperature range with no dilution
required.
• Remove oil cap.
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into
the tank.
• Wipe off excess oil. Replace oil cap.
• Check and fill the oil tank when quick view
oil indicator is below the second to last
indicator line.
• Repeat as needed.
NOTE: This pole saw comes from the factory
with no bar and chain oil added. Level should
also be checked after every 20 minutes of
use and refilled as needed. Do not use dirty,
used or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage
may occur to the bar or chain. It is normal
for oil to seep from the saw when not in use.
To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after
each use, then run for one minute. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (three
months or longer), be sure the chain is lightly
lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain
and bar sprocket.
IMPORTANT: To preserve natural resources,
please recycle or dispose of oil properly.
Consult your local waste authority for
information regarding available recycling and/
disposal options.
