Using the Pole Saw Attachment
The pole saw is designed for cutting branches up to 8 inches (200 mm) in diameter.
- Axuste da tensión da cadea: The pole saw features tool-less chain tensioning. Rotate the red knob to adjust chain tension. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the guide bar.
- Lubricación: Ensure the chain oil reservoir is filled before use. The saw chain requires continuous lubrication during operation.
- Técnica de corte: Position the saw head on the branch, allowing the chain to reach full speed before beginning the cut. Make a small undercut first to prevent pinching, then complete the cut from the top.
