Improper use of this Pole Saw can cause

EXTENSION CORDS

cords with this Pole Saw. Use
only extension

ing the cord type designation.

Use proper
sized cord
with this Pole
Saw. Cord
must be heavy enough
to carry current needed.
An
undersized
cord will cause voltage drop at Pole Saw.
Pole saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord

OiLiNG CHAIN
This Pole Saw requires
lubrication
only to prevent
rust on the guide bar and saw chain. The saw chain
provided
is pre-lubricated
at the factory. With each
use of the Pole Saw apply a small amount of lubricat-
ing oil directly to the saw chain (see Figure 8). The
oil will distribute
itself around the chain and guide
bar groove during use-preventing
rust. We recom-
mend using SAE #30 motor oil for lubrication
and
rust prevention.
