MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
1. After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide bar with a soft brush. Wipe the pole saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
2. Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
3. Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from the guide-bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION (
fig. 9
)
1. Stop the saw and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension.
2. Loosen the side-cover knob, insert the wrench into
the chain tensioner to adjust the guide bar and
retighten the side-cover knob securely. Ensure that
the chain will rotate without binding.
• During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain will increase. The drive links of
a correctly tensioned warm chain will hang
approximately 3/64’’ (1.3 mm) out of the bar
groove.
• A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there
is no slack on the underside of the guide bar
and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by
hand without binding. The chain must be re-
tensioned whenever the flats on the drive links
do not sit in the bar groove.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE:
• New chains tend to stretch; check chain tension frequently.
• A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too tight upon cooling. Check the cold tension before next use.
