Wall Mounting

Some CRAFTSMAN chargers are designed to be wall
mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical
outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which
may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
NOTE: Do not attempt to mount CMCB101 charger under a
bench or table.
NOTE: Only mount CMCB101 charger with the charging
lights pointed upward toward the ceiling.

start‑up can cause injury.

Installing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain

(Fig. F - J)

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is not running.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personal injury.
If the saw chain 5 and guide bar
the carton, the chain has to be attached to the bar, and both
must be attached to the body of the tool.
1. Place the saw on a flat, firm surface.
2. Rotate the bar lock nut
wrench 12 provided.
3. Remove sprocket cover

4. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain
wrap it around the guide bar
facing the correct direction (Fig. I).
5. Ensure the chain is properly set in the slot around the
entire guide bar.
6. Place the saw chain around the sprocket
lining up the slot on the guide bar with chain tensioning
pin 18 , and the bolt
shown in Fig. G.
7. Once in place, hold the bar still, replace sprocket cover
Install the rear of the sprocket cover first, rotate it down
and make sure the bolt hole on the cover lines up with
the bolt 18 , on the main housing.
8. Install the bar lock nut
wrench 12 provided until snug, then loosen nut one full
turn, so that the saw chain can be properly tensioned.
9. Rotate the chain tensioning screw
increase tension as shown in Fig. H. Make sure the saw
chain 5 is snug around the guide bar
lock nut 9 until snug.
10. Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting
Chain Tension.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. H, I)
NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly before
each use.
1. With the saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain 5 tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar 4
finger and thumb as shown in Fig. I. There should be no
"sag" between the guide bar and the saw chain on the
underside as shown in Fig. H.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar lock nut
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
housing using the flat screwdriver end of the wrench
4. Check saw chain tension, adjust if needed.
5. Do not over‑tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock nut
until snug.
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours
of use. It is important to check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery remove the battery pack)
during the first two hours of use.
Chain Oiling (Fig. K)
1. A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor
oil should be used for saw chain
lubrication. The use of a vegetable based bar and chain
oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is
not recommended because it may harm trees. Never
use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage your
pole saw.
