Filling The Oil Reservoir - Black & Decker PP610 Manuel D'instructions

• With the saw still on a firm surface check the chain tension. The
tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8
in. (3mm) away from the chain bar with light force from the index
finger and thumb as shown in figure E. There should be no "sag"
between the guide bar and the chain on
the underside as shown in figure F.
• To adjust saw chain tension, loosen allen
head screw on sprocket cover.
• Rotate the front chain tensioner (14) in
the front of the housing using the flat
screwdriver end of the wrench as shown in
figure D.
• Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to excessive wear
and will reduce the life of the bar and chain.
• Once chain tension is correct, tighten allen head screw to clamp bar.
• When the chain is new check the tension frequently (after
unplugging extension cord) during the first 2 hours of use as a new
chain stretches slightly.
Auto oiling system
This pole saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps the
saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain
and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent
SAE30 weight motor oil can be used.The use of a vegetable based
bar and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is
not recommended because it may harm trees. Never use waste oil or
very thick oil. These may damage your pole saw.

Filling the oil reservoir

• Remove the oil reservoir cap (11) and fill the reservoir with the
recommended bar and chain oil until the oil level has reached the
top of the oil fill reservoir opening. Using a funnel will prevent spills.
• Refit the oil reservoir cap.
• Periodically switch the pole saw off, unplug the extension cord and
check the oil level. Fill as needed. Also check the bar and chain to
ensure they are being properly oiled.

Attaching extension cord
An extension cord retainer (15)
is built into the switch handle. It
prevents the extension cord from
coming unplugged.
• Double the extension cord and
insert it into the slot (21) in
the end of the handle area as
shown in figure G. Hook the
loop formed by doubling the
cord over the cord retainer (16). Gently tug on the cord to ensure
that it is firmly retained in the handle. Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the power cord (18) of the pole saw.
NOTE: Always keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the cord
so that it will not be caught on branches, and other material, during cutting.
Extending extension pole
WARNING:
Always check to make sure that the extension
coupling is completely tightened and that the extension pole does not
retract. Not tightening the coupling completely could result in the saw
head unexpectedly moving, creating a hazardous condition. Periodically
check the connection to ensure that the coupling is fully tightened.
Always be sure of your footing and
grip the Pole Saw firmly with both
hands with the thumb and fingers
encircling the pole.
1. Rotate the extension coupling (6)
counterclockwise until it stops as
shown in figure h.
2. While holding the foam gripper
(4) with one hand, slide the saw
head (1) away from the extension
coupling. This will reveal the
extension pole (5) as shown in
figure I. The pole saw can be
