ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
Make sure the motor is off and the unit is disconnected from the power
source before assembling or disassembling any components.
This unit requires assembly.
UNPACKING
• Carefully remove the product and any accessories from
the box.
• Inspect the product carefully to make sure no breakage
or damage occurred during shipping.
• Do not discard the packing material until you have carefully
inspected and satisfactorily operated the product.
• If any parts are damaged or missing, please call 1-800-828-
5500 (U.S.) or 1-800-668-1238 (Canada) for assistance.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft (Fig. 3). The
clamp bolt hole in the D-handle is to the right.
2. Insert the clamp bolt into the hole in the D-handle and
partially tighten the clamp bolt. Do not tighten the clamp
bolt completely until you make the D-handle adjustment.
3. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 4),
move the D-handle to the location that provides you the
best grip. Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm)
from the base of the shaft grip.
4. Tighten the clamp bolt until the D-handle is secure.
TRIMMER ASSEMBLY: INSTALLING THE CUTTING
ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield is not installed on the unit:
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing. Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides into
the slot on the edge of the cutting shield. Rotate the
shield into place, counterclockwise. The holes in the
guard mounting bracket and cutting attachment shield
will line up (Fig. 5).
2. From inside the cutting attachment shield, push the
square bolt through the hole until the threaded end
protrudes through the guard mounting bracket (Fig. 6).
3. Put the washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut onto
the bolt and tighten. Figure 7 shows the installation
process from underneath the unit.
POLE SAW ASSEMBLY: ADDING BAR AND CHAIN
LUBRICANT
WARNING:
Make sure the bar lube reservoir
is always filled. Failure to fill the bar lube reservoir
will cause irreparable damage to the unit.
Only use bar and chain oil that is formulated to perform
over a wide range of temperatures with no diluting required
in the oil reservoir. Do not use motor oil or any other
petroleum-based oil.
NOTE:
This pole saw comes from the factory with the
bar lube reservoir empty. Use the bottle of bar
and chain oil that is included with the unit.
1. Remove the bar lube reservoir cap (Fig. 8).
2. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the bar lube
reservoir until the reservoir is filled.
3. Replace the bar lube reservoir cap and tighten securely.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
5. The unit is ready for use.
NOTE:
Because bar lube reservoirs are designed to keep
oil slowly flowing onto the chain, be sure to check
the oil level after every 15 minutes of operation
and refill the bar lube reservoir as needed. Also
see the Chain Lubrication instructions in the
Maintenance and Repair Instructions section.
NOTE:
Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the guide bar or chain.
NOTE:
The bar lube reservoir can be filled to the lip of the
fill opening without damaging the unit.
IMPORTANT! Please dispose of oil properly. Consult your
local waste authority for information regarding
available disposal options.

Testing the EZ-Link
Coupler Connection
After assembling an Add-On, always test the unit:
1. Start the motor. See Starting and Stopping Instructions.
2. Briefly engage and release the trigger.
3. Make sure the Add-On operates. If not, remove and reinstall the Add-On (and extension boom, if
used).
4. Repeat these instructions until the Add-On operates.
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE POWER SOURCE
Follow these instructions in order to avoid injury and to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire:
• Verify that the trigger is released and the motor is off before connecting or disconnecting the power
source. Refer to Starting and Stopping Instructions.
• Verify that the motor is off and the unit is disconnected from the power source before inspecting,
adjusting or performing maintenance on any part of the unit.
