WARNING!

Never attempt to install, replace, or adjust the chain with the engine running.

WARNING!

The saw chain is very sharp. Wear gloves to protect your hands when handling.

CAUTION!

A loose chain can jump off the guide bar causing damage to the chain and

associated equipment. Always make sure the chain is properly adjusted; check

more often when you are breaking in a new chain.

IMPORTANT!

Proper chain adjustment is essential for maximum performance, long chain life,

and operator safety. Always inspect chain tension before operating the pole pruner

tool.

1. Place the pole pruner on a clean, ﬂat surface. (For readjustment during operation,

shut down the engine, then allow the guide bar and chain to cool before proceeding

with the adjustment procedure).

2. Loosen the sprocket cover nut (A) with the plug wrench.

3. Lift the nose of the guide bar while turning the chain tensioning screw (B).

The chain should feel snug but still pull freely.

up. Wipe off any debris from the oil cap and from around the oil ﬁller neck.
