Bosch UniversalChainPole 18 Saw F.A.Q.

How do I assemble the Bosch UniversalChainPole 18 Saw?

To assemble the Bosch UniversalChainPole 18 Saw, first attach the chain to the guide bar. Then, mount the guide bar and chain onto the pole by aligning it with the sprocket. Use the tensioning knob to adjust the chain tension, ensuring it is neither too tight nor too loose. Finally, secure the cover plate on the saw head.

What is the correct way to adjust the chain tension?

To adjust the chain tension, turn off the saw and allow it to cool. Loosen the bar retaining nuts slightly, then use the tensioning knob to adjust the chain until it fits snugly against the guide bar but can still be moved by hand. Retighten the retaining nuts once the desired tension is achieved.

How do I maintain the battery life for optimal performance?

To maintain the battery life of the Bosch UniversalChainPole 18, store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid charging it at extreme temperatures. Regularly clean the battery contacts and avoid fully discharging it before recharging.

What should I do if the chain does not rotate when the saw is turned on?

If the chain does not rotate, first check the battery charge level and ensure it is properly inserted. Inspect the chain for any obstruction or debris. Ensure that the chain brake is not engaged and the chain tension is correctly set. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact Bosch support.

How often should I sharpen the chain on the Bosch UniversalChainPole 18?

The chain should be sharpened whenever it becomes dull, which can be identified by the sawdust being finer than usual or if the saw requires more effort to cut. Regular inspection and sharpening after every few uses will ensure optimal cutting performance.

What type of oil should I use for the chain lubrication?

Use a high-quality bar and chain oil specifically designed for chainsaws. These oils are formulated to adhere to the chain and bar, providing lubrication and reducing friction. Avoid using used or recycled oils.

Can I use the UniversalChainPole 18 in wet conditions?

While the Bosch UniversalChainPole 18 is designed for outdoor use, it is not recommended to operate the saw in wet conditions, as moisture can affect electrical components and pose a safety risk. Always follow safety guidelines outlined in the user manual.

How do I clean and store the saw after use?

After use, clean the saw by removing any debris, dirt, or sap from the chain and guide bar using a soft brush. Remove the battery before cleaning. Store the saw in a dry, secure place, preferably in a protective case or cover to prevent dust accumulation.

What safety precautions should I take while operating the saw?

Always wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and hearing protection. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders and obstacles. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid overreaching. Always operate the saw with both hands and follow all safety instructions in the manual.

How can I troubleshoot if the saw vibrates excessively during use?

Excessive vibration may be caused by a loose chain, improper chain tension, or damaged components. Check and adjust the chain tension, and inspect the chain and guide bar for damage. Make sure all nuts and bolts are securely tightened. If vibration persists, seek professional servicing.
