CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING
• All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
• Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove the battery pack. For safe and
proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation
or when blowing dust. If the operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• When cleaning the chainsaw, DO NOT immerse it in water or other liquids.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic,
which may result in serious personal injury.
Cleaning
After each use, clean debris from the saw chain and guide bar with a soft brush. Wipe the
chainsaw surface with a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to remove debris from the guide bar, saw
chain, sprocket and side cover.
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from the guide bar groove when replacing the
saw chain.
