3. Attach Engine Unit:
   • Connect the assembled pole sections to the engine unit. Ensure a tight and secure fit.
4. Adjust Chain Tension:
   • Using the provided tool, adjust the chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.
   • Once tension is correct, fully tighten the chain cover nuts.
5. Attach Shoulder Strap:
   • Attach the shoulder strap to the designated points on the pole saw. Adjust the strap for comfortable and balanced carrying.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Fueling

• This pole saw uses a 2-stroke gasoline engine. It requires a mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. Refer to the engine unit for the correct mixing ratio (typically 25:1 or 50:1, depending on the oil type).
• Use the provided mixing bottle to accurately prepare the fuel mixture.
• Fill the 23 fl. oz. (650 ml) fuel tank with the prepared mixture. Do not overfill.
• Fill the 5.28 fl. oz. (150 ml) chain oil reservoir with appropriate chain lubricant. This ensures automatic lubrication of the chain during operation.

5.2 Starting the Engine

1. Place the pole saw on a flat, stable surface.
2. Set the choke lever to the "Closed" position (for cold starts).
3. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible.
4. Pull the starter cord firmly until the engine attempts to start (usually 1-3 pulls).
5. Once the engine sputters, move the choke lever to the "Open" position.
6. Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts.
7. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before operating.

5.3 Operation

• Ensure you are wearing all required PPE.
• Hold the pole saw with both hands, maintaining a firm grip on the non-slip handle.
• Position yourself safely away from the cutting area and potential falling debris.
• Engage the trigger switch to start the chain.
• Make smooth, controlled cuts. Do not force the saw through branches.
• The pole saw can extend from 6.5 ft (2 m) to 9 ft (2.74 m) for reaching high branches.
• The 8-inch guide bar can cut branches up to 6 inches (15 cm) thick.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your pole saw.

• Chain Sharpening: Keep the saw chain sharp. A dull chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases kickback risk. Refer to a professional or use a suitable chain sharpening tool.
• Chain Lubrication: Regularly check the chain oil reservoir and refill as needed. Ensure the automatic oiler is functioning correctly.
• Air Filter Cleaning: Clean the air filter periodically to maintain engine performance. A dirty air filter can lead to reduced power and increased fuel consumption.
• Spark Plug Inspection: Inspect the spark plug for wear and clean or replace it as necessary.
• General Cleaning: After each use, clean the guide bar, chain, and engine unit to remove sawdust, sap, and debris.
• Storage: For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear any remaining fuel. Clean the unit thoroughly and store it in a dry, protected area.
