of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps below to check saw chain tension.) 1. Remove battery pack from pole saw. 2. Place pole saw on a firm surface to check chain tension. 3. Pull chain with light force 3mm (1/8") away from bottom of guide bar and release (See Fig 8). If the chain lightly snaps back into place, the tension is correct, a slight sag of 1 - 1.5mm (1/16" or less) between chain and bottom of guide bar is acceptable. Fig.8 Saw Chain Tension Adjustment 1.
3. Wearing protective gloves pull down on chain to check chain tension 4. Do not over-tension chain. Over-tensioning will cause excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain. Over-tensioning also reduces the amount of cuts per battery charge. 5. After chain tension is correct, tighten guide bar screw firmly. (See Fig 11) Fig.11 CUTTING WITH THE POLE SAW 1.

Fig.14 SHARPENING SAW CHAIN Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull. Items Needed to Sharpen Chain Purchase these items from your local dealer, hardware store, or pole saw supplies outlet.
Note: This illustration shows file guide placement and filing direction for sharpening cutters on left side of chain. 4. Hold file guide level. Make sure 30° mark on file guide is parallel to center of guide bar (see Fig.16). This will ensure that you file the cutters at 30° angle. 5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only file in this one direction (see Fig.16). (Note: Two or three strokes with file should be sufficient to sharpen cutter.) Fig.
REPLACING SAW CHAIN IMPORTANT: Do not clamp chainsaw in vise to replace saw chain or guide bar. Replace chain when cutters are too worn to re-sharpen or when the chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Always include a new drive sprocket when replacing the chain. This will maintain proper driving of chain. (Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see Parts List.) Refer to Figure 19 while completing the following steps. 1. Loosen and remove guide bar screw. 2. Remove sprocket cover.
