MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which could
result in serious personal injury.
All pole saw service, other than the items listed in
these maintenance instructions, should be per-
formed by competent pole saw service personnel.
(For example, if improper tool is used to hold the
flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and subse-
quently could cause the flywheel to burst).

CHAIN TENSION

See Figures 13 - 14.
WARNING:
To avoid possible serious injury, never touch or
adjust the chain while the motor is running. The
saw chain is very sharp; always wear protec-
tive gloves when performing maintenance to
the chain.
 Stop the motor and remove the battery pack
before setting the chain tension. Make sure
the chain cover screw is loose to finger tight,
turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to
tension the chain. Refer to Replacing the Bar
and Chain for additional information.
