Adjusting the Chain Tension
mWARNING! Use protective gloves when handling the bar
and chain.
1. Make sure the pruning saw is shut off 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 specifically 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 effectively. Used or poor quality oil
does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan of
the chain and bar.
Before lubricating 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 five 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.
