WARNING:
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. Operating the pole saw without chain oil or when the
oil level is below a certain amount will result in damage to the pole saw. Chain life and
cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. The chain is automatically lubricated
with chain oil during operation, if there is sufficient oil in the reservoir. 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 to ensure that the tank
cap is facing upwards. Rotate the
oil-tank cap counterclockwise to
remove it (Fig. 4).
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.
