APPLICATIONS
The pole saw is intended for cutting limbs
with a thickness of max. 6.9 in. It must not
be used for cutting other materials, such as
plastic, stone, metal or wood that contains
foreign objects, or materials that are harmful
to health. It must not be used for any
purposes other than those described.

OPERATION

CAUTION!
unit before checking and filling oil reservoir.
Fill oil reservoir with Bar and Chain Oil before
starting the pole saw. Failure to lubricate the
chain will cause damage to the bar and chain.
WARNING!
or with too little oil will decrease cutting
efficiency, shorten product life, and cause
rapid wear to the chain and bar from
overheating! Insufficient oil is evidenced
by smoke or bar discoloration! Adequate
lubrication of the saw chain during cutting
operations is essential to minimize friction
with the guide bar!
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain. Use a proper funnel with a filter
to prevent debris entering the reservoir and
to avoid splitting and overfilling the reservoir.
To fill reservoir:
■ Place the product on a suitable flat surface
with oil reservoir cap facing upward.
■ Remove the oil reservoir cap.
■ Carefully pour the bar and chain oil
into the reservoir. We recommend using
environmentally friendly chain oil specially
intended to be used with this product.
■ Wipe off excess oil from around the
reservoir.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the
saw when not in use. To prevent seepage,
empty the oil reservoir after each use. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (three
months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly
lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain
and bar sprocket.
NOTE: Always dispose of lubricant, used
oil and objects contaminated with them in
accordance with local regulations.
