Daily Checklist, Cleaning and 

Storing for your Pole Saw

To help maintain your Pole Saw for optimum performance, we 

recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your 

Pole Saw.

m

WARNING! 

Do not plug in the power cord until you 

have completed all of the daily checks.

INSPECT:

 Before plugging in the power cord, inspect for any 

visible damage to the chain, bar guide, hand guard, or motor 
housing. 

• Inspect the oil port and bar guide rails and clean them to 

remove any debris.

• Check the chain tension.
• Check the chain teeth for sharpness.
• Check the bar and chain oil level, fill with only new chain oil 

specifically formulated for chain saws.

NOISES:

 If you notice anything unusual, such as a vibration or 

odd sound, shut the saw OFF immediately. Remove the power 

cord and check the saw for any damage.

If you cannot find the cause of the problem or are uncertain 
what to do, then have the saw inspected by a qualified repair 

shop before using it.

m

CAUTION!

• Remove the power cord and allow the saw to cool for at 

least five minutes before servicing or storing.

• If you drop the saw, carefully inspect it for damage. If the 

guide bar is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or 

if you see any other condition that may affect the saw’s 
operation, DO NOT USE, have your unit serviced.

Cleaning the Pole Saw

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the saw. 
Never let any liquid get inside the motor housing and NEVER 
immerse any part of the saw housing into a liquid.

Storage

• Ensure that the plastic bar cover is in place when storing.
• Do not store the saw near chemicals, such as fertilizers, 

organic or other solvents. Do not expose brake fluids, 

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, 
etc., to the plastic parts of the saw. These products are 
often highly corrosive and may cause permanent damage, 
weaken, or destroy the plastic to your saw.

• When not in use, your Corded Pole Saw should be stored 

indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of reach  
of children.
