Cleaning; Transport; Storage; Possible Faults - ATIKA KSH 710 Manual Original

Cleaning

Clean the power pruner carefully after each application so that
the faultless function is kept.
Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be
applied.
Check that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free
(risk of overheating).
After a longer operation period (1 – 3 hours) remove
the cover (4), the guide bar (1) and the chain (2) and clean
them with a brush.
If heavily contaminated, clean the device using a
commercial chain cleaner.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from
the chain wheel (20) and the guide bar fastening (C).
Clean the oil flow canal (25) with a clean cloth or a
brush.

Transport

Remove mains plug before each transport.
Transport the power pruner only with the chain protection
put on.
Before each fault elimination:
− switch off device
− Wait for the power pruner to come to a standstill
− Pull out power plug
After each fault clearance, put into operation and recheck all security installations.
Fault
Power pruner does not
start after switching on
Power pruner works with
interruptions
Power pruner picks,
vibrates or does not saw
correctly
Power pruner does not
work with full power
Saw chain gets hot
no saw chain lubrication
Possible cause
no power

Chain tension
Chain not assembled correctly (teeth
face to wrong direction)
Extension cable too long, or cross-
section too small.
Socket too far from mains supply.
no oil in the tank
oil flow canal blocked
chain tension too high
Chain edgeless
no oil in the tank

Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
Before a longer period of storage carry out the following to
extend the power pruner's service life and ensure an easy
operation:
thoroughly clean the device
Remove the oil from the oil tank.
Some chain oils tend to encrustations after a longer period.
For this reason the oil system should be flushed before a
longer storing with a chain saw cleaner. Fill the cleaner up to
the middle (appr. 50 ml) into the oil tank. Close the tank.
Switch on the power pruner without assembled guide bar and
chain until the complete cleaner has left the oil opening of the
power pruner.
Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and
enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper.
Put the chain guard in place.
