2. Insert a charged battery into the handle of the extension pole.
3. Adjust the cutting head angle (0-112°) using the adjustment button for optimal reach and cutting position.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Chain Tension Adjustment

Proper chain tension is vital for safe and efficient operation. A chain that is too loose can derail, and a chain that is too tight can cause excessive wear and damage.

1. Loosen the two compression nuts on the side cover.
2. Adjust the tension knob to tighten the chain. A slightly loose space (3mm-4mm gap) is required to allow for chain adjustment.
3. Rotate the compression nuts clockwise to fix the guide plate and secure the tension.
