Operating Instructions
General Operation

Maintenance
- Chain Lubrication (Pole Saw): Regularly check and refill the automatic oiling system with suitable chain lubricant to ensure smooth operation and prolong chain life.

- Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool of debris, sap, and dust. Ensure ventilation openings are clear.
