APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purpose listed below:
◾
Limbing
◾
Pruning
NOTICE:
The tool is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
FILLING OILTANK WITH BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
WARNING:
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the oil or the pole saw. Oil may spill and cause a fire.
NOTICE:
The pole saw is not filled with oil at the time of
purchase. It is essential to fill the tank with chain oil before
use. Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. The chain is automatically lubricated with chain
oil during operation. Oil level should also be checked after
every 20 minutes of use and refilled as needed.
1. Remove the battery pack from the power head.
2. Clean the oil tank cap and the area around it to ensure
that no dirt falls into the oil tank.
3. Place the pole saw attachment upright and rotate the oil
tank cap counterclockwise to remove it (Fig. D).
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank until it
fills to the tank neck. Be careful not to let the oil spill from
the opening. Wipe off any excess oil and close the oil
tank cap.
NOTICE:
◾
Use OREGON ® bar and chain oil for best results. It is
specially designed to provide low friction and faster cuts.
◾
Do not use dirty, used or other contaminated oils.
Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (Fig. B)
Refer to "Important Safety Instructions" earlier in this
manual for appropriate safety equipment.
◾
Lift the tip of the guide bar to check for any sagging
in the chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when
there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar and
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the
"REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN" section in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual for adjustment
instructions.
◾
Check the tension of the cover screw before use. If it
is loose, securely tighten the cover screw by turning it
clockwise.
◾
Check the sharpness of cutting teeth on the saw chain
and make sure the chain is well lubricated.
