Cordless Pruning Saw WG324E WG324E.X
is tight. (See Fig. D)
WARNING: The Chain is not yet tensioned.
Tensioning the Chain applies as described
under “TENSIONING CHAIN”. The Chain now needs
to be inspected to make sure it is properly
tensioned.
TENSIONING CHAIN (See Fig. E1, E2, E3)
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain
tension frequently when first used and tighten when
the Chain becomes loose around the Guide Bar.
WARNING:
• Removing the battery pack before adjusting
saw chain tension.
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
• Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose
chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose
chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This
may injure operator and damage chain. A loose
chain will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to
wear rapidly.
1. Place the pruning saw on any suitable flat
surface.
2. Loosen the Housing-Cover Knob a bit to loosen
the Chain Cover lightly.
3. Adjust the chain tension. Turn the Chain
Tensioning Screw clockwise to tighten. (See Fig.
E1)
4. The correct chain tension is reached when the
Chain can be raised approx. half the drivelink
depth from the Guide Bar in the center. (See Fig.
E2)
5. Tighten the Housing-Cover Knob to secure the
Chain Cover. (See Fig. E3)
NOTE: The Chain is properly tensioned when it
can be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the drivelink
is within the rail of the Guide Bar.
NOTE: The chain will naturally stretch and lose
proper tension under general use. To re-tention,
repeat steps 1-5 listed above.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE
Align and insert the handle of extension pole into
the shaft. Rotate the Locking Knob clockwise to lock.
(See Fig. F1, F2)
NOTE: Make sure that the shaft is firmly locked in
place.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE TO THE
MACHINE (See Fig F3, F4)
Step 1: Align and insert the extension pole into the
saw.
Step 2: Hang the buckle on the hook of the saw. Press
the Clamping Lever to tighten the extension pole to
the machine.
NOTE: Make sure the extension pole is locked into
position securely before operation.
REMOVING THE EXTENSION POLE (See Fig. F5)
Loosen the Clamping Lever to release the buckle.
Press the Extension Pole Release Button to
disconnect the extension pole with the saw.
WARNING! When using this machine with the
Extension Pole, make sure that the battery pack
has been removed.
LUBRICATION
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain
should be oiled before operation.
IMPORTANT It is important to use bar and
chain lubricant that is formulated to perform
over a wide temperature range with no dilution
required. This can be found at the location where
you purchased this saw or your local hardware
store. Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the bar or
chain. Use of non-approved oil will void the
warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store
away from heat or open flame.
1. Switch off the pruning saw and remove the
battery.
2. Place the pruning saw on a level surface with the
Housing-Cover facing up.
3. Clean the Guide Bar and Chain with a soft brush or
solvent.
4. Apply lubrication oil in area (a) between Guide Bar
and Chain. (See Fig. G)
NOTE: Apply lubrication oil after cutting every 5
times for best performance.
5. Fit the battery. Switch on the pruning saw.
Lubricationl oil is evenly distributed over the chain.
The saw chain is lubricated.
