Chain Oiling

6

• A high quality bar and chain oil or

 

SAE30 weight motor oil should be used

 

for chain and bar lubrication. The use

 

of a vegetable based bar and chain oil

 

is recommended when pruning trees.

 

Mineral oil is not recommended

 

because it may harm trees. Never use

 

waste oil or very thick oil. These may

 

damage your chain saw.

 

• Lubricate the whole chain evenly before each use as shown in figure 6.

Also lubricate the chain whenever replacing a fully discharged battery with a fully charged one.

Transporting Pole Saw

• Always remove the battery pack from the handle (figure 7) and cover the chain with the 7 scabbard (figure 8) when transporting the

Pole Saw. See page 5 for additional information on transporting the battery.

Assembly

Joining Saw Head Module to 18V Handle Module

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the handle and that the protective scabbard is in place on the chain before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

The three modules which make up the 18V Pole Saw are keyed to insure correct assembly. If a module does not smoothly attach to another do not force fit.

Combining the handle module (A) to the saw head module (C) creates a pole saw that is approximately 6 foot in length as shown in figure 9. 9

To attach the handle module to the saw head module:

1. Align the groove on the outside of the coupling end of the handle

module (A) with the tongue on the

 

10

inside of the coupling end of the saw

head module (C). See figure 10. Push

 

the two sections completely together.

Groove

2. Slide the threaded sleeve (6) figure 11

on the saw head module down as far as

 

 

possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise

 

11

until it stops and completely covers the

 

orange threads as shown in figure 12.

 

WARNING: Always check to make

 

sure that the sleeve is completely

 

threaded on and that the orange

 

 

threads are no longer visible. Not

 

12

threading the sleeve completely on

 

could result in the modules becoming

 

disconnected creating a hazardous

 

condition. Periodically check the

 

connections to insure that no orange

 

 

threads are visible.
