5. PREPARATION
NOTE: Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts. Risk of injury!
5.1. Switchothedeviceandremovethebatterybeforecarryingoutassembly.
WARNING! Switch o the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.
NOTE: Before putting the Pruner saw into operation, you must:
- adjust the saw chain tension.
- lubricate the saw chain.
- charge and insert the battery.
5.2. TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN
5.3. Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damages. Before the
start of work and in approx. 10 minute intervals, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it, if necessary. The
chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These “expansions” can be expected especially from newer
chains.
8 DO NOT re-tighten or change the chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. In case of non-observance,
this can lead to damages on the guide rail or the engine because now the chain is too taut on the blade. Chain tension and chain
lubrication have a signicant impact on the service life of the chain.
5.4. The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not sag at the rail underside and can be rotated completely around with the gloved hand.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than
2 mm.
5.5. Switch o the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.
5.6. Tensioning the saw chain (6) by turning the screw (14) clockwise.
5.7. The chain tension of a new saw chain must be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts
5.8. CHANGING THE CHAIN BAR AND SAW CHAIN
5.8.1. Place the device on a level surface.
5.8.2. Turning the xing nut (15) counter-clockwise (g.1 ).
5.8.3. Remove the sprocket cover (13) (g.2 ).

5.8.4. Turning the screw (14) counter-clockwise to loosing the saw chain (6) (g.4).
5.8.5. Remove the old saw chain (6) and chain bar (7) (g.6).
5.8.6. Spread out the saw chain (6) in a loop so that the cutting edges are aligned in a clockwise direction. Use the graphical symbol above
the chain sprocket (12) as a guide to align the saw chain (6). Place the new saw chain (6) into the chain bar (7) groove (g.3).
Direction of travel of saw chain.
5.8.7. Place the saw chain (6) over the chain sprocket (12) (g.3 ).
5.8.8. Pull the chain bar (7) to the right, so that the chain tensioner pin (16) locks into the hole (17) on the chain bar (7) (g.3).
5.8.9. Turning the screw (14) clockwise to make the chain tensioner pin (16) to the correct position (g.4 ).
5.8.10. Put the sprocket cover (13) on (g.5 ).
5.8.11. Tighten the xing nut (15) (g.6).
CAUTION! The garden pruner can be prone to oil leaks.
NOTE: Prior to changing the saw chain, the groove of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because dirt deposits available can cause
the saw chain to break out of the rail. The deposits can also absorb the chain oil. So the consequence would be that the chain oil
would not or only a small part of it would reach the underside of the rail and the lubrication would be reduced.
6. OPERATION
6.8.1. REMOVING/INSERTINGTHERECHARGEABLEBATTERY(g.8)

7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. Maintenance and cleaning work must always be carried out with the motor switched o and the battery removed. Risk
of injury! Have any repair and maintenance work that is not described in this instruction manual carried out by our specialist
workshop. Only use original spare parts. Allow the device to cool o before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning work
there is a danger of burns!
7.2. Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts!
7.3. CLEANING
7.4. Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.
7.5. Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in
soap. Use no solvents or petrol for cleaning!
7.6. Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint brush or wipe for that. DO NOT use any liquids to clean the chain.
7.7. After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with chain oil.
7.8. Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the machine with a paint brush, whisk or dry cloth. DO NOT use any liquids for cleaning.
7.9. SAW CHAIN OILING
7.10. Remove the battery and use cut-resistant gloves when working with the chain or with the blade bar.
7.11. Clean and oil the chain regularly. This keeps the chain sharp and achieves optimum machine performance. Damage due to insucient
maintenance of the saw chain will invalidate the warranty.
7.12. The blade bar and chain must never be operated without oil. If the cordless garden pruner is used with too little oil, the cutting
performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the chain will become blunt more quickly. You can identify when there is
too little oil if smoke develops or the blade bar changes colour.
7.13. Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once a week, whichever comes rst.
7.14. Before oiling, the blade bar, especially the teeth of the blade bar, must be thoroughly cleaned. Use a hand brush and a dry cloth for
this purpose.
7.15. Oil the individual chain links using an oil syringe with a needle tip (available from specialist dealers). Apply individual drops of oil on the
joints and on the tooth tips of the individual chain links.
