ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can
cause injury.
Installing and Removing Saw Chain (Fig. A–E)
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the handle
before performing the following operations. Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective
gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is
sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
1. Place the pole saw on a firm surface. Rotate the two
hex head screws
counterclockwise with the hex
12
wrench
16
provided.
2. Remove sprocket cover
head screws.
3. To remove the saw chain

, rotate the screw

the wrench. Turning the screw counterclockwise allows the
guide bar
to recede and reduces the tension on the
13
chain so that it may be removed.
4. Lift the worn saw chain out of the groove in the
guide bar.
5. Flip guide bar over.
6. To replace the saw chain, check to make sure that the
slot in the guide bar is over the location pins
Figure D and that hole below the slot is located over the
adjustment pin.
7. Place new chain in groove of guide bar and around
sprocket. Make sure saw teeth are facing correct direction
by matching the graphic on housing or guide bar.
8. Rotate the screw in the front of the housing clockwise to
increase the chain tension.
9. Replace sprocket cover, bar clamp, and hex head screws.
10. Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting
Chain Tension.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A–E)
1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain
14
tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away from
the guide bar
13
and thumb as shown in Fig. E. There should be no "sag"
between the guide bar and the saw chain on the underside
as shown in Fig. F.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen hex head screws
3. Rotate the screw
the flat screwdriver end of the wrench.
4. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and
saw chain. Overtensioning also reduces the amount of cuts
you will get per battery charge.
5. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten hex head
screws
12
to clamp bar.
6. When the saw chain is new check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours of use
as a new chain stretches slightly.
nOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly.
Chain Oiling (Fig. G)
1. A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor
oil should be used for saw chain
lubrication. 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.
2. Lubricate the whole saw chain evenly before each use
as shown in Fig. G. Also lubricate the saw chain whenever
replacing a fully discharged battery with a fully charged one.
Transporting Pole Saw (Fig. A)
Always remove the battery pack
cover the saw chain
transporting the pole saw.

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the handle
and that the protective scabbard is in place on the chain
before performing the following operations. Failure to do this
