3. Assembly and Setup
The Greenworks PRO PS60L01 is a tool-only product. A compatible Greenworks 60V battery and charger are required for operation and must be purchased separately.
3.1 Attaching the Bar and Chain
- Carefully unpack all components.
- Place the chain around the sprocket and guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain are facing the correct direction.
- Mount the guide bar and chain onto the pole saw body, aligning the bar studs with the holes in the guide bar.
- Install the side cover and tighten the nuts securely. Adjust chain tension as per the instructions in your full product manual (not provided here).
3.2 Adding Chain Oil
The pole saw features an automatic chain oiler for constant chain lubrication. Before first use and regularly thereafter, fill the oil reservoir with appropriate bar and chain oil.
- Locate the oil cap on the pole saw body.
- Unscrew the cap and fill the reservoir with high-quality bar and chain oil.
- Replace the cap and ensure it is tightened to prevent leaks.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Starting the Pole Saw
The Greenworks PRO PS60L01 features an easy-starting system with no prime, no choke, and no pull cord, ensuring fast starts every time.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the pole saw.
- Hold the pole saw firmly with both hands.
- Engage the safety lock-out button, then squeeze the trigger to start the motor.
4.2 Cutting Techniques
- Always maintain a firm grip and balanced stance.
- Begin cutting with the bottom of the guide bar, allowing the chain to pull the saw into the branch.
- Avoid cutting branches thicker than the guide bar length.
- Be aware of falling branches and clear your escape path before cutting.
- The intelligent brushless motor technology provides more power and longer runtimes for efficient cutting.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your pole saw.
- Chain Lubrication: The automatic chain oiler provides constant lubrication. Regularly check the oil level and refill the reservoir as needed. Use only recommended bar and chain oil.
- Chain Tension: Periodically check and adjust the chain tension. A properly tensioned chain should be snug but still able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand.
- Chain Sharpening/Replacement: A dull chain will not cut efficiently and can cause kickback. Sharpen or replace the chain as necessary. Refer to your full product manual for detailed instructions on chain maintenance.
- Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the pole saw, especially the guide bar and chain area, to remove sawdust and debris.
- Storage: Store the pole saw in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. Remove the battery before storage.
