5.  Timely recharging of the battery will help prolong the 

battery's life. You must recharge the battery pack when 

you notice a drop in the equipment's power.

IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery pack to become fully 

discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the 

battery. 

6.  When charging is complete, remove the battery from the 

charger by pulling the push lock button and sliding the 

battery backward to unlock it from the charger.

Assembly

DANGER!

 Never start the motor before installing the 

guide bar, chain, and chain/sprocket end cover. Without all 

these parts in place, the clutch can fly off or explode, exposing 

the user to potentially serious injuries.

Installing/Replacing Guide Bar +  

Cutting Chain

Tools and supplies required:

•  Hex key wrench (provided)
•  Heavy-duty work gloves

NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, use only 

identical replacement parts. Make sure the pole chain saw 

is disconnected with the battery before proceeding with 

installation.

1.  Remove the hex bolt by screwing it counterclockwise with 

the hex key wrench (Fig. 4).

2.  Screw the chain/sprocket end cover knob 

counterclockwise to release chain/sprocket end cover  

(Figs. 5 – 6).

3.  Remove the bar and chain from the mounting surface  

(Fig. 7).

4.  Remove the old chain from the bar.
5.  Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten 

any kinks. THE SHARP SIDE OF THE TEETH MUST 

FACE AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF THE 

CHAIN ROTATION INDICATED ON THE GUIDE BAR 

. If the teeth face backwards, 

turn the loop over (Fig. 8).

6.  Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the  

bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The 

chain will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket 

 

(Figs. 9 – 10).
