the chain tension at least every 10 minutes and
to adjust it again as required. This applies in
particular to new saw chains. When you have
will shorten when it cools down. This will help to

6.3 Chain lubrication
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not
lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the pole saw
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below
the „min" mark will damage the pole saw.
Important!
Be aware of the temperature onditions:
temperatures.
At lower temperatures you will need
viscosity oil is used during the summer it will
become even thinner due to the ambient
temperatures alone, and as a result the
chain to overheat and become damaged. In
addition, the chain oil would burn and produce
unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1):
Place the pole saw on a at surface. Clean the
a
rea around the oil tank cap (Fig. 3a) and then
clean the oil tank cap.
Fill the tank (Item 3a) with saw chain oil. In the
process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank,
as this could cause the oil nozzle to become
