Saw
3.   Double check the tension set by the automatic 
Chain Tensioning Knob. The correct chain tension is 
reached when the Chain (1) can be raised approx. 
half the drivelink depth from the Guide Bar (7) 
in the center. This should be done by using one 
hand to raise the chain against the weight of the 
machine. (See Fig. E) 
  NOTE: The Chain (1) is properly tensioned when 
it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar (7) and the 
drivelink is within the rail of the Guide Bar (7).
  NOTE: The Chain (1) will stretch while cutting and 
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes 
loose, completely unscrew the Chain Tensioning 
Knob (2) or turn the knob around three full turns 
in a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the 
Chain Tensioning Knob (2) to properly reset the 
chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE TO THE 
MACHINE (See Fig. F1)
Step 1: Loosen the pole saw assembly lever (17) as 
shown in Fig F1. Align and insert the machine into the 
extension pole.
Step 2: Press the pole saw assembly 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. F2)
Step 1: Unlock the pole saw assembly lever (17) as 
shown.
Step 2: Slide saw to disconnect the extension pole 
with the saw while pressing both saw head locking-
buttons (5) simultaneously. 
ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH (See Fig. G)
The pole saw has a telescoping pole assembly that 
will extend from 1.8m(fully retracted)  to 2.3m (fully 
extended) .
Inner pole clamping level (18) is used to hold the pole 
in position at any extended length.
1.  To extend the pole, loosen the inner pole clamping 
lever (18) as shown in Fig. G. Pole will slide freely.
2.  Pull inner pole section out to desired length of 
extension. 
  NOTE: only extend pole to minimum length 
required to reach limb that is being cut.
3.  To lock pole in position, tighten clamping lever as 
shown in Fig. G.
ATTACHING AND ADJUSTING THE SHOULDER 
STRAP (See Fig. H1, H2)
Attach the shoulder strap to the hooks on the pole 
with the included carabiner hook, as shown in Fig. H1. 
To adjust the position of the shoulder strap, loosen the 
Locking knob by turning it counter-clockwise. Move 
it to the desired position. Tighten the Locking Knob 
clockwise to lock, as indicated.
ADJUSTING THE SAW HEAD ANGLE (See Fig. 
I1, I2)
The saw head can be rotated for different cutting 
angles for 0
o
, 15
o
, and 30
o
. (See Fig. I1)
1.   Rotate the pole saw head to the desired cutting 
angle while pressing the Saw Head Adjustment 
Knobs located on both sides simultaneously. (See 
Fig. I2)
2.   Release the knobs when the pole saw head is set 
to the desired angle.
NOTE: Failure to properly secure the pole saw head 
may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Always ensure the pole saw 
head is securely locked! Do not attempt 
to use the pole saw with the head in any 
other position or unlocked!
ADJUSTING THE REAR HANDLE (See Fig. J)
Push the extension pole rotation button forward 
to unlock. Hold the rear handle and rotate it to the 
most comfortable and balanced position. Release the 
extension pole rotation button to lock the rear handle.
WARNING: Always make sure that the 
handle is locked in the desired position 
before operation. Do not rotate the handle 
when the saw is being operated.
LUBRICATION
Important: The pole saw is not filled with 
oil. It is essential to fill with oil before 
use. Never operate the pole saw without 
chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this 
will result in extensive damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend 
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is 
automatically oiled during operation.
FILLING OIL TANK (SEE FIG. K)
WARNING: Removing the battery pack 
before filling the oil tank.
1.   Set pole saw on any suitable surface with Oil Filler 
Cap (6) facing upward.
2.   Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with cloth and 
unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise. 
3.   Add bar and chain oil (not included) until tank is 
full.
4.   Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler 
Cap (6) and tighten by turning clockwise until hand 
tight.
Important: To allow venting of the oil 
tank, small breather channels are 
provided between the Oil Filler Cap and 
the strainer, to prevent leakage, and ensure 
machine is left in a horizontal position (Oil Filler 
Cap (6) uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant 
(not provided) 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 oils. Damage may 
occur to the bar or chain. Use of non approved
