By turning the screw (when the rail fixing nut is loose), the pin moves forward or backward and the
chain is loosened or stretched accordingly.
Unscrew the retaining nut on the rail and remove the coupling cover.
Place the chain on the sprocket located above the clutch.
Place the Guide bar on the guide studs. Place it as close as possible to the sprocket.
Place the chain on the guide sprocket and the rail, making sure that the guide links of the chain
enter the rail channel. Keep the direction of the cutting units.
Move the guide bar away from the guide gear so that the chain guide elements are in the guide bar
groove.
Check that the pin of the chain adjusting screw nut is located in the lower hole of the rail.
Replace the cover and tighten the guide bar nut slightly.
Tighten the saw cutting chain with the chain tensioning screw. The chain is tensioned correctly when
it can be raised 3 to 4 mm in the middle of the guide bar. The measurement is performed when the
rail is in a horizontal position.
Tighten the nut firmly by holding the front of the guide bar.
Before mounting the guide bar and the cutting chain, you must check the correct position of the
cutting blades on the chain (the correct position of the chain on the bar is shown on the front of the
bar). Wear protective gloves when inspecting and installing the chain to avoid injuries from sharp
cutting edges.
When installing a new saw chain, it takes about 5 minutes to warm up. During this period it is very
important to lubricate the chain. After heating, check the chain tension and adjust if necessary.
You need to check and adjust its tension quite often, as the loose chain can be easily removed from
the rail, wears out faster or leads to rapid wear of the guide bar.
Fill the saw tank with oil.
The oil tank of the new pole saw is empty. Therefore, before the first use it is necessary to fill the
tank with oil.
Unscrew the chain oil tank cap.
Pour oil (be careful not to get any contaminants in the tank).
Screw back the oil tank cap.
Do not use used or remanufactured oil, as this may damage the oil pump. Use SAE 10W / 30 oil all
year round. In summer SAE 30W / 40, and in winter SAE 20W / 30.
7.3 Operation and settings.
Turn on.
Hold the pole saw with both hands during start-up and operation.
Switching on - we press the lock of the start button, and then the start button.
Switch off - release the start button. Releasing the trigger button stops the pole saw.
Check the chain lubrication.
Before you start cutting, check the lubrication of the saw chain and the oil level in the tank. Turn
on the pole saw by holding it above the ground over a light background. If increasing traces of oil
are seen, this means that the chain lubrication is working properly. If there are no traces or if they
are minimal, the oil path from the tank to the circuit must be cleaned. If this does not work, contact
service.
During operation, the amount of oil in the tank must never be below the minimum permissible level
"MIN".Add oil to the "MAX" position.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the set amount of oil used, the pole saw can be
operated for 15 to 40 minutes with a single filling of the oil tank.
