POLE SAW

Fitting the Chain

WARNING: Remove the battery from the pole saw before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with the moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on the chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling the chain.

IMPORTANT: Do not clamp chainsaw in vice to replace chainsaw or guide bar.

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to be sharpened or when the chain breaks. Only use a replacement chain specified by the manufacturer. Always use a new drive sprocket when replacing the chain. This will maintain proper driving of the chain.

Refer to Figure 3 while completing the following steps:

1. Loosen the tension wheel.
2. Remove the sprocket cover, tension wheel and the adjusting wheel.
3. Remove the chain.
4. Place the new chain around the drive sprocket, along the top groove of the guide bar, and around the guide bar nose. Note: Make sure cutting edges of chain are facing in the right direction. Position the chain so that the cutting edges on top of guide bar face guide bar nose (see Fig 4 and indicator on side cover of saw).
5. Place sprocket cover into the Positioning groove.
6. Locking the sprocket cover with the tension wheel. (IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten.)
7. Adjust the chain tension.
8. Securely tighten the tension wheel.

WARNING

Do not place the chain backwards. If chain is placed backwards, the saw will vibrate badly and will not cut.

Fig 4

Chainsaw tension adjustment (Fig.5 - Fig.6)

Note: The chainsaw tension is properly set at the factory and the new chain will stretch. Check the new chain tension frequently (after disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours of operation. Allow the chain to cool down. Follow steps below to check the chainsaw tension.

1. Remove the battery from the chain saw.
2. Place the chain saw on a firm surface to check the chain tension.
3. Pull chain with light force 1 / 8 away from bottom of guide bar and release ( see Fig 5).

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

If the chain lightly snaps back into place, the tension is correct. A slight sag (1/8" or less) between chain and bottom of guide bar is acceptable.

Fig 5

1. Loosen the tension wheel by turning it anti-clockwise (17) before adjusting the chain.
2. Tighten the adjusting wheel by turning it clockwise (16) until slack is out of the chain.
3. Wearing protective gloves, pull down the chain to check the chain tension.
4. Do not over-tension the 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 the tension wheel (17) firmly. (See Fig 6 )

Using the Pole hedge trimmer

WARNING

Remove the cut branches. DO NOT exceed the cutting capacity of this product.

With its unique design the pole trimmer can be used to trim and shape hard to reach areas of hedges and bushes such as those show in below figure.

POLE HEDGE TRIMMER

WARNING

Before any maintenance, always take off the battery pack and wear protection gloves.

Lubrication of the blade

For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the cutting blades before and after each use. Before lubricating, make sure your hedge trimmer is disconnected from the battery.

Apply lubrication oil so that it runs between the two blades.

Cleaning

WARNING

Before commencing these cleaning procedures or when clearing a blockage, make sure that the hedge trimmer is switched off and disconnected from the battery.

To ensure the best performance from the hedge trimmer, it must be kept clean. Always clean the hedge trimmer immediately after use.

Keep the pole hedge trimmer body clean. Use a Soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the body to clean. Do not allow cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the hedge trimmer surfaces. This will directly affect the cutting performance.

Make sure that the blade is kept clean of all cuttings and other debris. Take extra care to clean the cooling vents on the powerhead.

POLE SAW

WARNING

Before any maintenance, always take off the battery pack and wear protection gloves.

WARNING: When cleaning the pole saw body,

• Do not submerge the saw in any liquids
• Do not use products that contain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives
• Do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene, or gasoline

Cleaning

Keep the pole saw body clean. Use a Soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the body to clean.

Care of guide bar

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of the chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens the guide bar groove, see Fig.11. This causes chain chatter and rivet popping. The saw will not cut straight. Replace the guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect the guide bar before sharpening the chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage the chain. It will also make cutting harder.

Maintenance

1. Remove the guide bar from the chain saw. (Refer to instructions on removing battery)
2. Remove the sawdust from the guide bar groove periodically. Use putty knife or wire, see Fig.12.
3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.
4. Remove burrs from the sides of the guide bar. Use a Flat File to make side edges square.

Replace guide bar when

• Bar is bent or cracked
• Inside groove of the bar is badly worn

Sharpening Chainsaw

WARNING: Remove the battery from the pole saw before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with the moving chain.

Keep the chain sharp. When the chain is sharp, the saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force the chain into the wood and cutting creates only saw with few large chips, the chain is dull.

Chain Sharpening and Maintenance Tools

Purchase these items from your local dealer, hardware store, or pole saw supplies outlet. (Refer to Table 1 for recommended chainsaw sharpening and maintenance tools)

• 5/32" round file
• Depth gauge tool
  File guide
  Vise
  Medium sized flat file

Sharpening Cutters

Use file guide for 30^ filing.

1. Adjust the chain for proper tension.
2. Clamp the guide bar in a vise to hold the saw steady.

Note: Do not clamp the chain.

1. Press the 5/32" round file (attached to file guide) into the groove between the top plate and depth gauge on the chain. The file guide should rest on both the top plate and depth gauge, See Fig.13.

Note: File at the midpoint of the guide bar.

Note: This illustration shows the file guide placement and filing direction for sharpening cutters on left side of chain.

1. Hold the file guide level. Make sure the 30^ mark on file guide is parallel to centre of the guide bar, See Fig.14.

This will ensure that you file cuts at a 30^ angle.

1. File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only file in this one direction, see Fig.14.

Note: Two or three strokes with file should sharpen cutter.

Filing Cutter Depth Gauges

The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters are sharpened.

After every second or third sharpening, reset the cutter depth gauges.

1. Place the depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across the top of the two cutters. Make sure the depth gauge enters the slot in the depth gauge tool, See Fig.15.
2. Use a medium flat file. File the depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.
3. Remove the depth gauge tool with a flat file, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge, See Fig.16.

After several hand filings, have an authorized service centre or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will ensure even filing.
