3.2 Assembling the Pole Saw

1. Attach the chainsaw head to the extension pole by aligning the connectors and pushing until it locks.
2. Secure the connection with any locking mechanisms or screws provided.
3. Extend the pole to the desired length by loosening the locking collars, pulling the pole sections apart, and then tightening the collars firmly.
4. Ensure all connections are secure before operation.

3.3 Chain and Guide Bar Installation/Tensioning

1. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included separate chain installation guide for precise steps.
2. Ensure the chain is correctly oriented and seated in the guide bar groove.
3. Adjust chain tension so that the chain is snug against the guide bar but can still be pulled freely by hand. A properly tensioned chain should not sag on the underside of the guide bar.

3.4 Filling the Oil Reservoir

1. Locate the oil reservoir cap on the chainsaw head.
2. Unscrew the cap and fill the reservoir with appropriate bar and chain oil. Do not use motor oil or waste oil.
3. Replace the cap securely. Check oil levels regularly during operation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 General Operation

1. Ensure all safety precautions are followed and personal protective equipment is worn.
2. With the battery installed, press the safety lock button and then squeeze the trigger to start the saw. Release the trigger to stop.
3. Allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the wood.

4.2 Using as a Pole Saw

1. Adjust the pole to the required length, ensuring it is securely locked.
2. Stand on firm ground, maintaining good balance. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.
3. Position the saw head on the underside of the branch first to make a small undercut (to prevent pinching), then complete the cut from the top.
4. Let the saw do the work; do not force it.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool.

5.1 Chain Sharpening

• A dull chain will cut slowly and can cause the motor to overheat. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when necessary.
• Use a round file of the correct diameter for your chain type.
• Maintain the correct filing angles as specified in the chain manufacturer's instructions.

5.2 Guide Bar Maintenance

• Clean the guide bar groove regularly to remove sawdust and debris.
• Flip the guide bar periodically to ensure even wear.
• Check for burrs on the guide bar rails and file them smooth if present.

• After each use, remove the battery and clean the tool with a dry cloth. Remove any sawdust or debris from the motor vents and chain area.
