WarnInG - never use waste or reclaimed oil. this results in
damage to the oil pump, saw chain and guide bar.
WarnInG - always loosen locking knob before turning ten-
sion wheel otherwise sprocket cover and tension wheel will be
damaged. Do not over-tighten locking knob.
CHAIN LUBRICATING OIL
Use high quality chain lubricating oil to minimize wear between the saw chain and guide bar while in use.
We recommend using SAE No. 30 in the summer and SAE No. 10 in the winter or when cutting resinous
wood. Check the oil level prior to each use.
Oil tank capacity: 70 cc (2.5 fluid ounces)
CHAIN TENSION ADjUSTMENT
CHAIN LUBRICATION vERIFICATION
1. Loosen the locking knob.
2. Using gloved hand, hold the guide bar nose up and turn the tension wheel clockwise. The chain is correctly
tensioned when it is still possible to raise it by 2-3 mm in the middle of the guide bar.
3. Tighten the sprocket cover by turning the locking knob clockwise.
WarnInG - never touch the chain while chainsaw is running.
Unplug chainsaw from power source before adjusting the saw
chain tension. not doing so may cause severe personal injury
or death.
To test if chain lubricating oil is adequately dispensed onto the guide bar, hold the guide bar
above a dry surface and run the chainsaw for 30 seconds. A thin line of “thrown” oil should
be seen on the dry surface. Never operate the saw without chain lubrication. Even running
the saw without lubrication can cause irreparable harm to the entire cutting attachment.
2. Attach support handle on the desired location of the pole.
3. Tighten nuts on base of the handle with the allen wrench provided.
