Mounting The Bar And Chain - Stihl HTA 65 Instruction Manual

Chain scabbard
Your pole pruner comes standard with a
chain scabbard that matches the cutting
attachment.
If you use guide bars of different lenghts
on the pole pruner, the length of the
chain scabbard must be matched to the
guide bar to reduce the risk of injury. It
should cover the full length of the guide
bar.
The length of the matching guide bars is
marked on the side of the chain
scabbard.
