l Fill the chain oil reservoir
Before using the pole saw, we recommend that you fill the chain oil reservoir with some bar and chain oil. This will help promote mobility when it is in use as well as reduce the friction.
l Check for loose screws, nuts, or bolts
Checking for loose screws, nuts, as well as bolts ensures that the piece of equipment is at its best. This will also prevent the risk of accidents when it is in use. You can imagine what will happen if a bolt is loose when it is in use.
l Check the tool for any worn-out or damaged parts
This is a very important step as it ensures that you will be able to confirm the functionality of the different parts of the pole saw. This also ensures that you do not damage the saw chain as all other coordinating parts are in top shape. Thorough check to ensure all parts are in good condition.
l Confirm the sharpness of the pole saw blade cutters
Using a saw with blunt cutters only damages it further when it is in use. Keep in mind that sharpness delivers on efficiency and effectiveness and in the event that it is used when blunt, the cutter will be damaged and over time, you will find yourself replacing the blades sooner than is necessary.
l Check the tension of the saw’s chain
When the pole saw is in use, it heats up and once it starts to cool, the chain will contract. In this, many tend to tighten the chain as they use it. It is therefore, important that once you finished and you need to allow the machinery rest as well as loosen it. If you use it again when it is still too tight, it will damage the unit.
l Clean the guide bar rails after sharpening or replacing the chain
Cleaning the guide bar ensures that you do not leave dirt between it and the chain. Dirt and some extra oil can reduce the functionality of the chain and in turn, its rotation becomes limiting when it is in use.
l Clean it after use
Always ensure that you clean your pole saw parts after using it not only to keep it clean as well as prevent dirt buildup. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the dirt.
