The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil.
• Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the
tank before starting work.
Never operate your pruner without chain lubrica-
tion. If the chain is run dry, the whole cutting at-
tachment
will be irretrievably damaged within a
very short time.
Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to
3 minutes. After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see chapter
„Checking Chain Tension".

Adjusting the carry strap

3
The design and type of carry strap may vary..
• Put on the shoulder strap (1).
• Adjust the length of the belt so that the spring hook (2)
is roughly a hand's width below your right hip.
PLEASE NOTE: This carry strap has a safety device
allowing you to immediately disconnect the strap from
the machine in an emergency. To do so, pull forcefully
on the red pull tab (3) on the strap. This disconnects
the strap from the holding fixture immediately.
NOTE: Never start the motor with the carry strap
attached to the machine!

Starting / Stopping the Engine

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, start the en-
gine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling spot, out-
doors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the appropri-
ate section of your Engine manual (4. Engine). Proper
starting methods reduce the risk of injury.
Place the saw trimmer on firm ground or other solid sur-
face in an open area or, in the alternative, as shown in the
above picture. Maintain good balance and secure footing.

Operating Instructions

During operation
Check chain tension frequently!
A new chain has to be tensioned more often than one that
has been in use for some time.
Cold chain:
Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly against the
underside of the bar and can still be pulled along the bar
by hand. Retension if necessary – see chapter "Tension-
ing the Saw Chain". Chain at operating temperature: The
chain stretches and begins to sag. The drive links on the
underside of the bar must not come out of the bar groove
– the chain may otherwise jump off the bar.
Retension the chain – see chapter "Tensioning the Saw
Chain".
Always slacken off the chain again after finishing
work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is
not slackened off, it may damage the gear shaft and
bearings.
After finishing work
• Slacken off the chain if you have retensioned it at op-
erating temperature during cutting work.
The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not
slackened off, it may damage the gear shaft and
bearings.
Storing for longer period:
See chapter „Storing the Machine".

Taking Care of Guide Bar

Turn the bar over – every time you sharpen the chain
– and every time you replace the chain. This avoids one-
sided wear, especiallly at nose and underside of the bar.
Regularly clean
1 = oil inlet hole
2 = oil passage
3 = bar groove
