Adjusting the Chain Tension
mWARNING! Use protective gloves when handling the
bar and chain.
1. Make sure the pruning saw is shut o and the battery is
removed. Loosen the sprocket/chain end cover a little by
turning the end cover knob counterclockwise (Fig. 3).
2. Use the equipped hex key wrench to turn the
chain adjusting screw clockwise to tighten, turn it
counterclockwise to loosen. A cold chain will be correctly
tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the
guide bar; the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand
without binding (Fig. 4).
NOTE: When not in use, the hex key wrench can be
stored in the hex key wrench slot located on the bottom of
the pruning saw (Fig. 5).
3. Retighten the end cover knob. Using a screwdriver, run
the chain along the guide bar to check that it moves
smoothly.
Chain Lubricant
IMPORTANT! Only use a good quality bar and chain oil
designed specically for use with chain saws to ensure optimal
lubrication of the cutting parts. Do not use oil containing
impurities.
IMPORTANT! The chain lubricating oil is bio-degradable. The
use of mineral oil or engine oil can have a serious impact on
the environment. It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts eectively. Used or poor quality oil
does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan
of the chain and bar.
Before lubricate the pruning saw, clean the guide bar and saw
chain with a soft brush. Then drop the oil between the chain
and the bar. Insert the battery and switch on the pruning saw.
The oil will be evenly distributed over the chain. For optimal
cutting result, lubricate the saw every 30 minutes during
operation. When storing the unit for a long period of time (3
months or longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this
will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket (Fig. 6).
Operation
Starting and Stopping
mCAUTION! Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric
motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great
deal of heat and damage the motor. To protect the life of your
cordless pruning saw, always wait at least ve seconds after
stopping before restarting the saw.
mWARNING! Be sure that the chain is not in contact with
any object when you start the motor.
mWARNING! Keep hands away from chain. Keep hand
on handle. Do not overreach.
