Connecting To Power Supply; Starting And Stopping - Ryobi RY43161 Manual Del Operador

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY

See Figure 5.
This product is designed with a cord retainer that
prevents the extension cord from being pulled
loose while using.
 Form a loop with the end of the extension
cord.
 Insert loop portion of extension cord through
opening in the bottom of the rear handle and
place over cord retainer.
 Slowly pull loop against cord retainer until the
slack is removed.
 Plug product into extension cord.
NOTE: Failure to remove all excess cord slack
from extension cord retainer could result in plug
loosening from receptacle.
NOTICE:
Before each use, check to make sure that the
chain is properly tensioned. A cold chain is cor-
rectly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug,
and it can be turned by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a cor-
rectly tensioned warm chain will hang approxi-
mately .050 in. out of the bar groove.
See the Chain Tension instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual to properly
adjust the chain tension.

OPERATION
ADJUSTING TELESCOPING POLE
See Figure 6.
 Disconnect the pole saw from the power sup-
ply.
 Rotate the collar counterclockwise to loosen.
 Push poles towards each other to shorten the
pole or pull away from each other to lengthen
the pole.
NOTE: Extend the pole only to the length
required to reach the limb being cut. Do not
extend the handle above waist height.
 When the desired length is achieved, rotate the
collar clockwise to secure.
NOTE: Adjust hand placement on the shaft of the
pole saw to keep proper balance. Do not attempt
to use the pole saw at a length which does not
allow you to achieve proper footing and balance
at all times.
