socket on the cutting head pole and push together until the locking tabs are fully seated,
Fig.4. Lock the poles together by closing the locking lever on the cutting head pole, Fig 5.
NOTE: when assembled correctly, the cutting head pole should not be able to separate
from the intermediate pole when pulled. Repeat above steps if pole can be separated
from the intermediate pole.
Warning! Failure to securely assembly and lock all poles together as directed above
could cause the poles to separate and could result in serious personal injury or death.
Attaching the shoulder harness
Connect the latches on the shoulder harness to the harness connection points, Fig. 6.
Adjust the strap to a comfortable position.
c. Installing the battery pack
Warning! Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts,
making adjustments, cleaning, carrying, transporting or when it is not in use. Removing
the battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury
NOTE: To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack and keep hand
clear of the lock out button when carrying or transporting the tool.
Slide battery pack into the pole saw base, Fig 7. Make sure that the battery pack snaps
into place and that the battery is secured in the tool before beginning operation. Improper
installation of the battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
d. Removing battery pack
Locate the battery release catch on the top of the battery and press downwards, Fig 8.
Whilst holding down the battery release catch slide the battery pack away from the tool.
e. Adding bar and chain lubricant
Always use bar and chain lubricant. It is designed for chains and chain oilers, and it is
formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
The bar and chain lubricant level should be checked after every 20 minutes of use and
refilled as needed.
Remove the oil cap, Fig 9. Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into the bar tube
reservoir. Wipe off excess oil.
Check and fill the reservoir when the oil indicator, Fig, is below the second to last
indicator line.
Repeat as needed.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage,
empty the oil tank after each use then run for one minute.
When storing the unit for a long period of time (three months or longer) be sure the chain
is lightly lubricated. This will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
