Operation; Installing And Removing The Battery Pack - Craftsman CMCCSP20 Instruction Manual

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. J)
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 Figure J. 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 14 with the scabbard
transporting the pole saw.
Joining Saw Head Module to
Handle Module (Fig. A, K–O)

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 could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the
sleeve is completely threaded on and that the red
threads are no longer visible. Not threading the sleeve
completely on could result in the assemblys becoming
disconnected creating a hazardous condition.
Periodically check the connections to insure that no red
threads are visible.
The three assembliess which make up the pole saw are keyed
to insure correct assembly. If an assembly does not smoothly
attach to another do not force fit.
Combining the handle assembly
assembly 3 creates a pole saw that is approximately 6'
(1.8 m) in length as shown in Figure K.
To attach the handle assembly to the saw head assembly:
1. Align the groove 21 on the outside of the coupling
end of the handle assembly
on the inside of the coupling end of the saw head
assembly 3 . Refer to Figure L. Push the two sections
completely together. Refer to Figure M.
2. Slide the threaded sleeve
down as far as possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise
until it stops and completely covers the threads as shown
in Figure N.
Joining Center Extension to Saw Head
Module and Handle Module (Fig. A, O)

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the
sleeve is completely threaded on and that the red
14 and guide bar 13
6 from the handle and
15 when
1 to the saw head
1 with the tongue 22
9 on the saw head assembly
threads are no longer visible. Not threading the sleeve
completely on could result in the assemblys becoming
disconnected creating a hazardous condition.
Periodically check the connections to insure that no red
threads are visible.
Adding the center extension
and saw head assembly 3 creates a pole saw that is
approximately 9' (2.7 m) in length as shown in Figure O.
Refer to to Joining Saw Head Module to Handle Module
for directions on how to attach the middle assembly to the
handle assembly and saw head assembly.
DISASSEMBLY

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.
Detaching Saw Head Module (Fig. P)

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 could result in serious personal injury.
When detaching the assemblies, whether it is in the two
assembly or three assembly mode, always detach the saw
head assembly 3 first. To do this, rest the handle assembly
on the ground and grasp the center of the saw head
assembly with one hand as shown in Figure P. Use your
other hand to loosen the threaded sleeve and then pull the
two halves apart. Repeat this process if the center extension
was attached.
