- Page 7 NOTE: Your 10" pole saw is equipped with an automatic oil pump for bar and chain oiling. You must add bar and chain oil or your 10" pole saw will not function. Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great deal of heat and damage the motor.

- Page 11 BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 7.5" (19 .1 cm) in diameter depending on the wood type. Practice cutting a few small limbs using the following technique to get the "feel" of using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
- Page 12 • Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your first cut. Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch off (Fig. 15). Be prepared to balance the weight of the 10" pole saw when the limb falls. • Now make your finishing cut from the topside of the branch smoothly and neatly against the main member so the bark will grow back to seal the wound .

result is a lightning-fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the 10" pole saw is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control, which can result in serious injury. - Page 14 correct tension of a cold chain is when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but you can rotate it by hand without binding. During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 0.050 in.
- Page 15 ensure minimum removal of material and even sharpness on all the cutting edges. If you sharpen the chain yourself, use special round-section files with the right diameter depending on the type of chain (see "Chain Maintenance Table"). You need a certain amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.
- Page 16 GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over on the saw to distribute the wear for maxim um bar life. Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear. You should smooth such faults with a file as soon as they occur.
- Page 17 STORAGE • Ensure that the guide bar cover is in place when storing . • Do not store the 10" pole saw near chemicals, such as fertilizers or other harsh solvents. Do not expose the plastic parts of the unit to brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, or the like.

Questions and answers
Why is chain loosening and popping off. Can I lock the tension adjustment knob
The chain on the Sumec 5240-041 may loosen and pop off due to the chain stretching, especially when new or after extended use. A chain that is not properly tensioned can also come off. The manual notes that a new chain tends to stretch and recommends checking and adjusting the tension frequently. The tension adjustment knob is used to tighten or loosen the chain, but there is no mention of a locking mechanism for this knob, so it cannot be locked.
