Chain Oiling (Fig.K)
1. A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor
oil should be used for saw chain
5
and guide bar
4
lubrication. The use of a vegetable based bar and chain
oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is
not recommended because it may harm trees. Never
use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage your
polesaw.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. H, I)
NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly before
eachuse.
1. With the saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain
5
tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
4
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in Fig.I. There should be no
“sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on the
underside as shown in Fig.H.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar lock nut
9
.
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
10
in the front of the
housing using the flat screwdriver end of thewrench 
12
.
4. Check saw chain tension, adjust ifneeded.
5. Do not over‑tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock nut
9
untilsnug .
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours
of use. It is important to check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery remove the battery pack)
during the first twohours ofuse.
4. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain
5
and
wrap it around the guide bar
4
, ensuring the teeth are
facing the correct direction (Fig.I).
5. Ensure the chain is properly set in the slot around the
entire guidebar.
6. Place the saw chain around the sprocket
17
. While
lining up the slot on the guide bar with chain tensioning
pin
18
, and the bolt
18
, on the base of the tool as
shown in Fig.G.
7. Once in place, hold the bar still, replace sprocket cover
8
.
Install the rear of the sprocket cover first, rotate it down
and make sure the bolt hole on the cover lines up with
the bolt
18
, on the mainhousing.
8. Install the bar lock nut
9
and rotate clockwise with the
wrench 
12
provided until snug , then loosen nut one full
turn, so that the saw chain can be properlytensioned.
9. Rotate the chain tensioning screw
10
clockwise to
increase tension as shown in Fig.H. Make sure the saw
chain
5
is snug around the guide bar
4
. Tighten the bar
lock nut
9
untilsnug .
10. Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting
ChainTension.
Installing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain
(Fig. F - J)

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is notrunning.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.
If the saw chain
5
and guide bar
4
are packed separately in
the carton, the chain has to be attached to the bar, and both
must be attached to the body of thetool.
1. Place the saw on a flat, firmsurface.
2. Rotate the bar lock nut
9
counterclockwise with the
wrench 
12
provided.
3. Remove sprocket cover
8
, and bar lock nut
9
.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
Wall Mounting
Some CRAFTSMAN chargers are designed to be wall
mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical
outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which
may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
NOTE: Do not attempt to mount CMCB101 charger under a
bench ortable.
NOTE: Only mount CMCB101 charger with the charging
lights pointed upward toward theceiling.
