POLE SAW NAMES AND TERMS
Continued
Oiler Control System for oiling guide bar and chain. Outer Pole Retains the moveable inner pole.
Saw Chain (Chain) Loop of chain having cutting teeth for cutting wood. The motor drives chain. The guide bar supports chain.
Sprocket Toothed wheel that drives chain. Switch Device that completes or interrupts electri- cal circuit to motor of saw.
Switch Lockout Device that reduces accidental start- ing of saw.
Trigger Device that turns saw on and off. Squeezing trigger turns saw on. Releasing trigger turns saw off. Trimming (Pruning) Process of cutting limb(s) from a living tree.
Undercut An upward cut from underside of log or limb. This is done while in normal cutting position and cutting with top of guide bar.
1.Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nuts are only Þnger tight (see Figure 4). Also make sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole on guide bar.
2.Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is out of chain. Note: There should be no gap be- tween side links of chain and bottom of guide bar.
3.Wearing protective gloves, move chain around guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain does not move freely, loosen chain by turning adjusting screw counterclockwise.
4.After chain tension is correct, tighten guide bar nuts Þrmly. If not, guide bar will move and loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk of kick- back. This can also damage saw. Note: A new chain will stretch. Check new chain after Þrst few minutes of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Readjust chain tension.
ASSEMBLY OF POLE SAW
Step ❶ Ð Squeeze Trigger
ASSEMBLY
The plastic hardware bag for the Pole Saw should include the following:
CHAIN SAW HARDWARE
¥ (1) Scabbard
POLE SAW HARDWARE
¥(1) Handle Bracket
¥(1) Knob
¥(1) Lock Washer
ASSEMBLY OF CHAIN SAW
Assemble the chain saw before assembling the pole. Refer to chain saw manual for assembly instructions.
CAUTION: Do not place chain on saw backwards. If chain is backwards, saw will vibrate badly and will not cut.
Make sure cutting edges of chain are facing in the right direction. Position chain so cutting edges on top of guide bar face guide bar nose (see Figure 2).
SAW CHAIN TENSION
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will in- crease 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, guide bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
