5. UNIT ASSEMBLY & OPERATION Polesaw Attachment EN Chain Oil The chain oiler on your pole saw is automatic. When the engine is running, the chain oil is automatically discharged. Fill oil reservoir with good quality bar and chain oil. Remove the oil reservoir tank cap (1), and fill to the top. Add chain oil when its level lowers to one centimeter from bottom. Adjustment of Chain Oil Supply Loosen the locking screw (2) one turn. Turn the adjusting screw (3) clockwise to decrease the quantity and turn it counterclockwise to increase the quantity. Do not turn the adjusting screw (3) clockwise beyond one turn from its most counterclockwise position or the maximum quantity discharged position. After adjustment has been made, tighten locking screw (2). Pole Saw Pruning Techniques This attachment is designed for trimming small limbs and branches up to 8" in diameter. Follow these tips for successful operation. 1. Plan cut carefully. Check to see direction branch will fall before beginning. 2. Long branches should be removed in several pieces. 3. Do not stand directly beneath branch being cut. 4. Look out for branch immediately behind the branch being cut. If pole saw impacts rear branch - damage to the machine can occur. 5. Apply plenty of throttle to avoid chain catching in the wood. 6. When pruning a limb of 4" in diameter or larger, cut as follows: a. Undercut limb diameter near tree trunk. b. Finish top cut slightly farther out on limb. c. Flush cut stub at trunk. 7. Never use the pole saw for bucking or felling. TBC-255SFK 15 Owner's Manual
