IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to serious injury, electric shock, or fire. Save ALL warnings
and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Ensure that your work area is kept well-lit and clean. Lack of visibility and clutter greatly
increase the risk of accident.
- Keep bystanders and children clear when operating a machinery. They can cause
distraction or risk injury themselves.
- Ensure you are not operating the machinery in the presence of flammable gases, dust,
liquids, or anything that creates an explosive atmosphere. Machinery can create sparks
which can lead to ignition in these environments.
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Always wear personal protective equipment. Eye protection, ear protection, dust masks
and other protective equipment will help to reduce the risk of personal injury.
- Dress appropriately. Do NOT wear jewellery or loose clothing that can get caught in
moving parts. Keep hair, loose clothing, jewellery, and anything else that could be of risk
away from moving parts or they could be caught.
- Always remain alert and do NOT operate the machinery under the influences of any
substances (drugs, medication, alcohol). Losing focus could lead to injury while operating
machinery.
- Always keep proper footing and balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping and falling
which can result in injury.
- Ensure the power switch is in the off position before connecting any battery or power
source to the machinery. This can lead to accidents as machinery can fire suddenly when it
is not expected and lead to accident.
- Use all provided dust collection and extraction attachments if included. This with the use
of dust masks can help keep you safe from dust and keep your work site clear while working.
- Ensure loose parts such as a wrench or adjusting key are removed before starting the
machinery. Failure to remove these can result in serious injury.
MACHINERY USE AND CARE
- Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing a tool to do a job it was not designed for increases
the risk of accident or injury.
- Check the machinery for damage or any condition that could affect the way the machine
works. An unrepaired machine can lead to accident and injury. Only have your machine
repaired with genuine parts from The ToolShed.
- Only use the machine with genuine parts or accessories that are designed to be used with
the power tool and machinery. Failure to do so could result in accident or injury or damage
your machinery.
- Store your machinery out of reach of children and away from untrained personnel when
not in use. Use by somebody untrained or a child could lead to accident or serious injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY FOR PETROL POLE SAW
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
A hard hat is recommended and googles will protect your eyes against flying splinters and chips.
Because a power saw is noisy, you should wear hearing protection. Leather gloves, hard-toe shoes,
and timber chaps would help protect limbs that might come into contact with the chain. Do not
wear slippery shoes or baggy clothing that could catch in the brush and cause and cause you to fall.
Always watch your footing while you are working.
REFUELING
Take the same precautions that you would with your gasoline powered lawn mower. Stop the
engine and do not smoke while refueling your chain saw. Do not spill petrol on a hot engine. Use a
filtering funnel or a fuel can with a flexible hose to fill the fuel tank. Do not start the saw where you
refuel it and be extra cautious of fire during dry weather.
CARRYING THE SAW
Shut off the saw when carrying it from one tree to the next if working conditions are hazardous such
as heavy brush, slippery ground surface, or steep slopes. Carry the saw with the guide bar pointing
to the rear or point the bar to the front if you are going downhill.

ASSEMBLY
The carry handle and orange driveshaft section of the pole is supplied pre-attached to the engine
and gearbox mountings.
The black extension part of the driveshaft slides inside the end of the orange driveshaft section as
shown. Ensure the correct end of the black extension shaft is inserted into the orange driveshaft.
To ensure the black driveshaft pole is correctly positioned, attach the chainsaw head to the other
end of the black extension driveshaft, ensuring the locating screw, screws into the hole at the end of
the pole.
With the engine sitting upright on a flat surface, locate the black extension pole inside the orange
driveshaft, lining up the inside cable rod so that is slides inside the black extension pole. It may be
necessary to twist the black extension pole to the left and right to locate the cable rod. Slide the
black extension pole inside the orange driveshaft approximately half a metre.
Locate the plastic locking section around the orange driveshaft and around the black extension pole
and secure using the supplied securing bolts and nuts. Adjust the length of the pole and lock into
position with the plastic locking handle.

CONNECTING THE CHAINSAW HEAD
1. Insert the end of the long drive shaft into the end of the branch cutter (ensuring the locking
screw locates into the locating hole to ensure the correct cutting position). Tighten the
screw securely. Fill up the chain oil reservoir with chainsaw oil.
2. Fit the chain (if not already pre-fitted) by loosening off the locking bolt (found on the outside
of the side plastic cover of the head). Loosen off the chain tensioner screw (turn
anticlockwise). Locate the chain over the sprocket in the head and around the chain blade
holder. Adjust the tightness of the blade by tightening up the tensioner screw. The chain
must turn freely but must not be too loose as this could cause the chain to slip off. If the
chain is too tight, it will wear out the chain prematurely. Once adjusted, tighten the locking
bolt securely.
3. Apply a little chain oil to the chain prior to use.
Ensure the reservoir is fully filled with proper chain oil. Do
not use engine oil as this will damage the chain and will
generate excessive heat and smoke.

OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Ensure the fuel mixture is 25:1, fill up the tank and securely close the lid.
2. Lay the machine flat on the floor for starting.
3. Check there are no objects obstructing the head of the machine.
4. Push the clear rubber fuel window behind the air filter a few times until it is full of fuel. You
should also see the fuel through the clear plastic fuel pipe.
5. Put the choke into the “on” position (only for cold engines otherwise leave choke open).
6. Half open the throttle.
7. Push the “On/Off” switch located on the carry handle of the unit forwards to the “On”
position (push in the direction of the cutting head).
8. Pull the starter handle slowly a few times, and then pull quickly.
9. If the engine is flooded with fuel, remove the sparkplug, pull the starter handle several
times, dry plug with a cloth, reinsert and tighten plug, connect spark plug lead and try again,
this time turning off the choke.
10. Run the engine at a slow speed for the first 3-5 minutes to allow the engine to warm up. The
engine may begin to splutter, gradually turn off the choke and the engine will run smoothly.
NOTES:
- Don’t accelerate the engine quickly until the engine has warmed up as this will cause
premature wear on the engine.
- Avoid over-revving the engine as this will damage the engine.
- Always check the air filter is not dirty or clogged as this will use more fuel and will reduce the
engine performance.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Press the STOP switch on the handle (push the switch backwards towards the engine). This
will immediately stop the engine.
2. Place the engine away from combustible materials as the engine will still be hot.
3. If not using the machine for some time, drain all the fuel out of the tank and replace the cap.
