required.
• Carefully pour in the chain lubricating oil until it reaches the upper
mark on the oil level indicator B.
• Close the oil tank cover A.

chain oil if required.
Checking the chain lubrication
• Start the unit (see section "Switching on/off the power tool".
• Hold running saw chain for some time approx. 15 cm above a

which is ejected by the saw chain will form a light trail.
Chain tension
Before performing any work on the pole saw, remove the battery.
The teeth on the saw chain are very sharp! Wear protective gloves
when performing any work on the chain.
NOTE: Check and re-adjust the tension of a new chain after
working for a few minutes. Switch the motor off, remove the battery
and actuate the chain brake.

moved by hand
