FILLING OILTANK WITH BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
(Fig. B)
WARNING: Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the oil or the pole saw. Oil may spill and cause a
fire.
NOTICE: The pole saw is not filled with oil at the time
of purchase. It is essential to fill the tank with chain
oil before use. Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. The chain is automatically
lubricated with chain oil during operation. Please
always attention the lubrication oil level in work and
refill the tank timely as needed.
1. Remove the battery pack from the power pole.
2. Clean the oil tank cap and the area around it to
ensure that no dirt falls into the oil tank.
3. Place the pole saw attachment upright and rotate the
oil tank cap counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank until
it fills to the tank neck. Be careful not to let the oil
spill from the opening. Wipe off any excess oil and
close the oil tank cap.
NOTICE: The oil flow ratio could be adjusted by turning
the adjusting screw counterclockwise to increase the oil
output, clockwise to decrease the oil output (Fig. B)

NOTICE: Do not use dirty, used or other contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING (Fig. C)
Refer to "Important Safety Instructions" earlier in this
manual for appropriate safety equipment.
◾
Lift the tip of the guide bar to check for any sagging
in the chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when
there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar and
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the
"REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN" section in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual for adjustment
instructions.
◾
Check the tension of the bar nut before use. If it
is loose, securely tighten the bar nut by turning it
clockwise.
◾
Check the sharpness of cutting teeth on the saw chain
and make sure the chain is well lubricated.
◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
Make sure that you have a secure and balanced
footing. Watch out for obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches, which could cause you to trip or
stumble.
◾
Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the
motor is running. Hold the unit firmly with both hands.
Following the instructions in the section "HOLDING
THE TELESCOPIC POWER POLE" in PPX1000
operator's manual
◾
For safe and better operation, put on the shoulder
strap across the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap
into a comfortable operating position. Following
the instructions in the section "MOUNTING THE
SHOULDER STRAP" in PPX1000 operator's manual to
attach the shoulder strap onto the power pole.
WARNING: The shoulder strap is also a quick
release mechanism in hazardous situation. When
an emergency occur s, take it off your shoulder
immediately, no matter what way the strap is in.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER POLE" section in
the power pole PPX1000 operator's manual.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE (Fig. D & E)
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or
shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
1. Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the
underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
2. Make a second cut from the top side of the limb
outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through
the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be
prepared to balance the weight of the tool when the
limb falls.
3. Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTICE: For second and final cuts (from top of limb or
branch), hold the bucking spikes against the limb being
cut (Fig. E). This will help steady the limb and make
it easier to cut with light downward pressure. If you
force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can
result in.
4. Release the trigger on the power pole as soon as the
cut is completed.
NOTICE:
Failure to follow proper cutting procedures
will result in the bar and chain binding and becoming
pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
