EN WARNING:
Always wear gloves when handling the
saw chain. The chain is sharp and may contain burrs.
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.
CLEANING
◾
After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the pole saw surface with a
clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to
remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
All pole saw service, other than the items listed in these
maintenance instructions, should be performed by
competent pole saw service personnel.
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
When replacing the guide bar and chain, always use
the specified bar and chain combination listed in the
"Recommended Bar and Chain for this Pole Saw"
section.
1. Remove the battery and allow the saw to cool. Make
sure the oil-tank cap is snag to prevent oil leakage.
2. Position the pole saw on its side on a firm, flat
surface, so that the side cover is facing upwards.
3. Wear gloves. Remove the side cover (Fig. U). Clean
the side cover with a dry cloth.
4. Remove the worn bar and chain from the mounting
surface.
5. Install new guide bar and saw chain, following
the "ASSEMBLING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN"
instructions in section "ASSEMBLY".
NOTICE:
This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket
for excessive wear or damage.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the saw. Remove the set screw and adjustment
plate, reverse the guide bar (Fig. V) and reinstall the
adjustment plate on the new side of the guide bar
(Fig. W) to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The
bar should be cleaned every day after use and be checked

for wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should
be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with
any of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay
over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip. The
sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a grease
syringe to extend the guide bar life. Use a grease syringe
to lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the
lubricating hole (Fig. X). Turn the guide bar and check
that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from
impurities.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Only use low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast-
cutting chain will provide kickback reduction when
properly maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood
effortlessly, even with very little pressure.
Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw
chain cutter leads to increased physical strain, increased
vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results and
increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the saw chain needs to be
maintained properly. When the wood chips are small
and powdery, the chain must be forced through the
wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side are
the indicators that the chain requires sharpening. During
maintenance of your saw chain, consider the following:
◾
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the
risk of a severe kickback.
◾
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low increases
the potential for kickback. Not low enough decreases
cutting ability.
◾
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and
stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand on the
wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified service
technician.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
◾
Do not store or transport the pole saw attachment
when it is running. Always remove the battery pack
before storing or transporting.
