- Safety Lock Switch: To prevent unintentional starting, the tool requires the safety lock switch to be pushed forward simultaneously with the trigger switch to turn ON.
- Oil Automatic System (Chain Saw): The pole chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiling system to lubricate the chain bar and chain, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear. The oil level should be checked and refilled regularly.
- Battery Charge Indicator Lights: The charger base features green indicator lights to show the battery pack's temperature and charging status.
Maintenance Features:
- General Maintenance:
- Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
- Check the collection bag (if applicable) frequently for wear.
- Replace worn or damaged parts with identical replacements.
- Store the product in a dry place.
- Use only manufacturer-approved spare parts and accessories.
- Avoid using solvents for cleaning plastic parts; use clean cloths instead.
- Chain Saw Maintenance:
- Chain Tension: The chain tension must be checked and adjusted regularly. A correctly tensioned chain should be snug against the guide bar but rotatable by hand without binding. New chains tend to stretch and require frequent tension checks.
- Chain Oiler: Use Premium Bar and Chain Lubricant. The bar lube reservoir should be checked and refilled every time the pole saw is used. Avoid using dirty or contaminated lubricants.
- Chain Sharpening: The chain needs sharpening when wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced through wood, or it cuts to one side. Improper filing angles or depth gauge settings can affect performance and increase kickback risk. If cutter teeth hit hard objects, professional sharpening is recommended.
- Storage: Always place the scabbard over the saw bar when transporting or storing the pole saw. Empty the oil tank after each use and run the saw for one minute to prevent seepage. For long-term storage, lightly lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
- Hedge Trimmer Maintenance:
- Blade Lubrication: Lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with lightweight machine oil before and after each use, especially during extended operation.
- Cleaning: Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid strong detergents on plastic housing or handles.
- Storage: Clean all foreign material and store the product in a well-ventilated place, inaccessible to children, and away from corrosive agents.
Safety Precautions:
The manual emphasizes numerous safety warnings, including:
- Always read and understand all instructions before operating.
- Wear personal protective equipment: safety glasses/face shield, hearing protection, and safety helmet.
- Wear gloves for cutting protection and safety shoes to prevent slipping.
- Keep body parts away from moving blades and chains.
- Ensure the product is switched off and battery disconnected before making adjustments, changing accessories, or servicing.
- Do not operate in explosive atmospheres or near children and bystanders.
- Use the shoulder strap when working with the equipment.
- Ensure the telescoping pole and multi-angle head are securely locked before operation.
