SAW CHAIN LUBRICATION
FILLING THE OIL TANK
The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to
ensure safe operation.
Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank to prevent
clogging in the oil nozzle.
Because the saw chain heats up during operation, its
length can uctuate. Check the chain tension every
10 minutes of operation and adjust as necessary,
particularly for new saw chains.
The pole saw features automatic chain lubrication.
Never operate the pole saw without saw chain oil. The
use of the pole saw without enough saw chain oil will
damage the unit.
1. Place the saw on a level surface. Clean the area
around the oil tank cap and then open it.
IMPORTANT: Only use SAE300 saw chain oil. Other
oils will run the risk of damaging the unit and voiding the
warranty. Take note of temperature conditions. Using
the saw at various temperatures requires the use of
differing oils. To ensure a sufcient layer of lubricant at
lower temperatures, use liquid oil (low viscosity).
TIP: The saw chain shortens when cooling down.
Loosen the saw chain after work is completed to
elongate the chain’s life and prevent possible damage.
3. Wearing protective gloves, wrap the saw chain
around the chain bar, making sure that the teeth are
aimed in the direction of rotation. The chain should
be properly set in the slot running along the entire
outside edge of the chain bar.
4. Place the saw chain around the sprocket while lining
up the slot in the chain bar with the internal bolt at the
base of the saw and the chain tensioning pin in the
chain bar’s pin hole. The chain tensioning pin may
need adjustment to properly align with the hole in the
chain bar. Use a at-blade screwdriver to turn the
chain tensioning screw to adjust the location of the
pin until it ts in the chain bar.
5.Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to
preliminarily tighten the chain bar enough that it stays
in place.
6. Install the step washer and locking nut. Using the
supplied wrench, turn the locking nut clockwise to
tighten it. DO NOT overtighten.
2. Fill the oil tank with 2.04 oz. (60 ml) of saw chain and
bar oil.
3. Close the oil tank cap.
7. Check the chain tension by pulling the saw chain
away from the chain bar. A properly tensioned chain
should have roughly 0.08 inch (2 mm) of distance
between itself and the bar guide.
8. If adjustments are needed, loosen the bar adjustment
locking nut one full turn.
9. To adjust the saw chain tension, turn the chain
tensioning screw. Turning the screw clockwise
increases the tension while turning it counter-
clockwise decreases tension. A properly tensioned
chain should have no sag and should only be able to
be pulled 0.08 inch (2 mm) away from the chain bar
of the saw.
10. Once the chain is properly tensioned, tighten the bar
adjustment locking nut. DO NOT over-tension the
chain: this will lead to excessive wear and reduces
the life of both the bar and chain.
