Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING: Failure to identify and
replace damaged or worn parts can cause
serious personal injury. Inspect the pole
saw regularly. Regular inspection is the
first step to proper maintenance. Follow
the guidelines below to maximise safety
and satisfaction. Have any damaged
or excessively worn parts replaced
immediately.
WARNING: An electric power tool
that is plugged in can start accidentally.
Unplug the pole saw before preparing for
use or performing maintenance.
CAUTION: When cleaning the pole saw,
do not immerse in water or other liquids.
Inspection
Before each use and if the pole saw has been
dropped, inspect these parts:
• Cord: Ensure the plug is in good condition and
not bent or corroded, and that the insulation
is intact. If the cord is damaged, do not use.
Contact an authorised service dealer.
• Handles: Rear handle and extendable shaft
should not have cracks or other damage. They
should be clean and dry.
• Guide Bar: The bar should be straight and free
of chips, cracks or excessive wear.
• Saw Chain: The chain should be properly
tensioned and sharp, and all components
free of cracks, chips, or excessive wear. See
"Tensioning the Saw Chain" and "Sharpening
the Saw Chain".
• Side Cover: The side cover should be free of
cracks or other damage. It should fit tightly to
the saw body with no warping. Make sure the
chain catch is free of cracks.
• Oil Level: Make sure the oil reservoir is full
before use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

and debris in the air intake vents.
• Harness: Fabric should not be cut or frayed,
and adjustment buckles and clip should be

• Chain Tensioning Gear: Inspect the gear for
cracks, chips, loose screw, warping or other
damage.
