ASSEMBLY
The plastic hardware bag for the Pole Saw should
include the following:
CHAIN SAW HARDWARE
• (1) Scabbard
POLE SAW HARDWARE
• (1) Handle Bracket
• (1) Knob
• (1) Lock Washer
ASSEMBLY OF CHAIN SAW
Assemble the chain saw before assembling the pole.
Refer to chain saw manual for assembly instructions.
CAUTION:Do not place chain on saw
backwards. If chain is backwards, saw
will vibrate badly and will not cut.
Make sure cutting edges of chain are facing in the
right direction. Position chain so cutting edges on top
of guide bar face guide bar nose (see Figure 2).
SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:Maintain proper chain ten-
sion always. A loose chain will increase
the risk of kickback. A loose chain may
jump out of guide bar groove. This may
injure operator and damage chain. A
loose chain will cause chain, guide bar,
and sprocket to wear rapidly.

Process of cutting limb(s) from
1. Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nuts
are only finger tight (see Figure 4). Also make
sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole on
guide bar.
2. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack
is out of chain. Note: There should be no gap
between side links of chain and bottom of guide
bar.
3. Wearing protective gloves, move chain around
guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain
does not move freely, loosen chain by turning
adjusting screw counterclockwise.
4. After chain tension is correct, tighten guide
bar nuts firmly. If not, guide bar will move and
loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk
of kickback. This can also damage saw. Note:
A new chain will stretch. Check new chain after
first few minutes of operation. Allow chain to
cool down. Readjust chain tension.
