Continued
OILING CHAIN
Always check oil level before using saw. Do not attempt to operate the oil system while saw is in operation. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb. Oil will feed onto the guide bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb at least once before each cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, be- tween front handle and front hand guard.

1.Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten- sion cord to power supply.
2.Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only des- ignated grip areas when operating Pole Saw (see Figure 7). Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around Pole Saw handle and pole.
3.Make sure your footing is Þrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
4.When ready to make a cut, press in trigger switch
