Guide bar and chain are supplied separately.
Unscrew the guide bar fixing nut and remove the casing.
Put the chain (7) onto driving chain wheel located behind the clutch.
Install the guide bar (8) (slide it behind the clutch) onto guiding screws and push towards driving chain
wheel.
Put the chain (7) onto guide bar chain wheel from below.
Move the guide bar (8) away from the driving chain wheel, so chain guiding links are placed in the guide
bar groove.
Ensure the pin of the chain tension adjustment screw is in the middle of the lower hole of the guide bar (8),
adjust when necessary.
Place the casing in its place and fix by slightly tightening guide bar fixing nut .
Strain the chain appropriately using the chain tension adjustment screw (9). Chain tension is appropriate
when the chain can be lifted by 3 to 4 mm in the middle of the guide bar in horizontal position.
Firmly tighten guide bar fixing screw while holding the guide bar tip.
Prior to guide bar and chain installation ensure that position of chain cutting blades is appropriate (correct
position of the chain on the guide bar is shown on the tip of the guide bar). Always wear protective gloves
during checks and installation of the chain to prevent cuts from sharp edges of the chain.
New chain requires start-up period, which lasts approximately 5 minutes. Chain lubrication is very important
in this phase. Check chain tension after start-up period and readjust if necessary.
Check and adjust the chain tension frequently. Too loose chain can easily slide off the guide bar, quickly
wear out or quickly wear out the guide bar.
3.3. Filling saw tank with oil.
Oil tank in new pole saw is empty. Fill the tank with oil prior to first use.
Unscrew oil filler cap (6).
Pour in oil (be careful to avoid contamination of oil during filling of the tank).
Screw oil filler cap (6).
Do not use oil that has been already used or regenerated, as this may damage the oil pump. Use SAE
10W/30 oil for the whole year or SAE 30W/40 in summer and SAE 20W/30 in winter.
4. Operation and settings
4.1. Switching on. Switching off.
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands
when starting up and during operation. Switching on - press the switch lock button (4) and then switch button
(1).
4.2. Switching off - release pressure on the switch (1). Release pressure on the switch button (1) to stop
the pole saw. Strong sparking on the commutator may appear. This is normal and safe for pole saw operation.
When switched on, the pole saw starts to work with full speed.
4.3. Checking chain lubrication.
Check lubrication of the chain and oil level in the tank before starting to work. Switch on the saw and hold it
above ground. If you see enlarging oil marks, the chain lubrication works well. If there are no oil marks or they
are very small, use oil feed adjustment screw to make appropriate adjustments. In case the adjustment brings
no effects, clean oil outlet, upper hole of chain tension and oil way or contact service.
Make adjustments when the saw is switched off, observe precaution measures and do not allow the guide
bar to touch ground. Operate the tool safely and maintain at least 20 cm distance from ground.
