Filling Oil Tank; Operation - Westinghouse PSA40 User Manual

ASSEMBLY
EXTENDING SAW HEAD
1. Align the groove on the outside of the coupling end of the extension (22) with the tongue on the
inside of the coupling end of the saw head (20).
2. Push the saw head (18) onto the extension and make sure the three connections seat properly
(21).
3. Slide the collar (19) down and rotate it until it is fully tightened.

FILLING OIL TANK

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 chain oil cap on saw head (11).
2. Check plastic dipstick to see oil levels.
3. If levels are below half, then use chain oil to fill DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Tighten bar oil cap and check for leaks.

OPERATION

CHARGING BATTERIES WITH RAPID CHARGER
WARNING: Only use 40V Westinghouse rechargeable battery packs with Westinghouse 2A
Rapid Charger.
1. Plug the charging device (12) into household socket.
2. Make sure that the voltage cited on the charger complies
with the voltage supplied by your socket.
3. Slide the rechargeable battery (10) into the charging station.
It can only be inserted in one position.
4. The battery charging process now begins and is signaled
by the green LED flashing.
5. Once the rechargeable battery has been fully charged, the
green indicator light will stop flashing and go solid. The
charging process ends automatically.
6. Charging takes approx. 1-1.2 hours. The battery heats up during the charging process. This is
normal and does not signal a fault. Do not let battery remain on charger for more than 5 hours.
Note: Occasionally, the permissible temperature range may be exceeded during the charging cycle.
In this case, the electronic charging control interrupts the charging cycle to avoid any damage to the
battery. The red control light will then glow continuously. If you should witness this, pull the battery
from the charging station and let it cool down for about 30 minutes. Then, restart the charging cycle
by sliding the battery back onto the charging station.
