Chain Oiling
• A high quality bar and chain oil or
SAE30 weight motor oil should be used
for chain and bar lubrication. The use
of a vegetable based bar and chain oil
is recommended when pruning trees.
Mineral oil is not recommended
because it may harm trees. Never use
waste oil or very thick oil. These may
damage your chain saw.
• Lubricate the whole chain evenly
before each use as shown in figure 6.
Also lubricate the chain whenever replacing a fully discharged
battery with a fully charged one.
Transporting Pole Saw
• Always remove the battery pack from the
handle (figure 7) and cover the chain with the
scabbard (figure 8) when transporting the
Pole Saw. See page 5 for additional
information on transporting the battery.

Assembly
Joining Saw Head Module to 18V Handle Module
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the handle
and that the protective scabbard is in place on the chain before
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result
in serious personal injury.
The three modules which make up the 18V Pole Saw are keyed to
insure correct assembly. If a module does not smoothly attach to
another do not force fit.
Combining the handle module (A) to the saw head module (C)
creates a pole saw that is approximately 6 foot in length as shown in
figure 9.
To attach the handle module to the saw head module:
1. Align the groove on the outside of the coupling end of the handle
module (A) with the tongue on the
inside of the coupling end of the saw
head module (C). See figure 10. Push
the two sections completely together.
2. Slide the threaded sleeve (6) figure 11
on the saw head module down as far as
possible and rotate the sleeve clockwise
until it stops and completely covers the
orange threads as shown in figure 12.
WARNING: Always check to make
sure that the sleeve is completely
threaded on and that the orange
threads are no longer visible. Not
threading the sleeve completely on
could result in the modules becoming
disconnected creating a hazardous
condition. Periodically check the
connections to insure that no orange
threads are visible.
