Chain Lubrication
m
WARNING!
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Only use a good quality bar and
chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws. Do not
use oil containing impurities.
IMPORTANT! The bar and chain 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.
1. Take off the oil tank cap from the top of the pruning saw.
Then fill the oil tank up to top of the oil tank indicator
marked with the word "MAX" (Fig. 16).

2. During operation, press the compression cap 3-4 times
every 30 minutes to lubricate the chain (Fig. 17).
NOTE: Before storing the unit, press the compression cap
3-4 times and run the saw for 30 seconds to lubricate the
chain evenly to prevent corrosion.

Breaking-in your Pruning Saw
It is recommended to break-in your pruning saw every time a
new chain is installed.
1. Remove the battery and adjust the chain tension.
2. Insert the battery and switch on the pruning saw and leave
the motor running idle for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Remove the battery and check the chain tension again. If
necessary, re-tighten the chain.
4. Afterwards make only easy cuts for approximately 30
minutes. Always ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw
chain! Only use the pruning saw for heavier cuts and
greater cutting depths after the break-in period.
Safety Checklist
To help maintain your cordless pruning saw for optimum
performance and safety, we recommend you complete this
checklist prior to each work session.

WARNING!
Do not insert the battery until you have
completed all of the checks.
• Inspect for any visible damage to the chain, guide bar, or
motor housing.
• Check that all the screws on the machine and guide bar
are tightly fastened.
• Clean the guide bar and chain of any debris.
• Make sure any ventilation slots are free of sawdust or
debris.
• Check that the chain is tensioned correctly and sharp.
• Check that the trigger remains locked until the safety lock
is pressed.
