• When sawing off thicker branches, use the same
technique as for cutting to length.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close as possi-
ble to the product. If possible, let the weight of the
product rest on the trunk.
• Change your position to cut branches on the other
side of the trunk.
• Branched boughs are cut to length individually.
• When delimbing, leave larger downward branches
that support the tree for the time being. Separate
smaller branches with one cut.
11 Cleaning
WARNING
Have maintenance and repair tasks that are
not described in this operating manual, car-
ried out by a specialist workshop. Use only
original spare parts.
There is a risk of accident! Always perform
maintenance and cleaning work with the
battery removed. There is a danger of inju-
ry! Let the product cool down before all
maintenance and cleaning tasks. Elements
of the engine are hot. There is a danger of
injury and burning!
The product can start unexpectedly and cause inju-
ries.
–
Remove the battery.
–
Allow the product to cool down.
–
Remove the tool attachment.
WARNING
Danger of injury when handling the saw
chain or the blade!
–
Wear cut-resistant gloves.
1. We recommend that you clean the product directly
after every use.
2. Use a brush* or hand brush* to clean the saw chain
and no liquids.
3. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. If necessary, clean the handles with a damp cloth*
washed in soapy water.
5. Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the
product clean with a clean cloth* or blow it off with
compressed air* at low pressure. We recommend
that you clean the product directly after every use.
6. Ventilation openings must always be free.
7. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they
could attack the plastic parts of the product. Make
sure that no water can penetrate the product interior.
8. Clean the groove of the chainsaw guide bar using a
brush or compressed air.
9. Clean the chain wheel and the spring tensioner.
12 Maintenance
12.1
Replacing the chainsaw guide
bar (12) (Fig. 2)
1. Switch the product off and remove the battery (15).
2. Place the product on a level, even surface.
3. Turn the screw (2) for the chain tensioning system
and the chain cover (3) anti-clockwise to slacken
the chain tension and remove the chain cover (3).
4. Remove the chainsaw guide bar (12) and the saw
chain (11).
5. For dismantling, hold the chainsaw guide bar (12)
swivelled upwards at an angle of approx. 45 de-
grees to make it easier to remove the saw chain
(11) from the groove of the guide bar.
6. Replace the chainsaw guide bar (12) and fit the
chainsaw guide bar (12) and saw chain (11) as de-
scribed under 8.1.
12.2
Replace the saw chain (11) and
allow it to run in (Fig. 2)
DANGER
Serious injuries possible due to tearing or
jumping off of the sawtooth!
–
Never fit a new saw chain on a worn sprocket or
on a damaged or worn guide rail. The saw chain
could jump off or break.
• Only use saw chains and blades designed for this
product.
• Before changing the saw chain, clean the groove of
the guide bar, as the saw chain may jump out of the
bar if it dirty. The deposits can also soak up the
chain oil. The consequence would be that the chain
oil does not reach the underside of the guide bar, or
only to a small extent, and lubrication is reduced.
1. Place the product on a level, even surface.
2. Turn the screw (2) for the chain tensioning system
anti-clockwise to slacken the chain tension and re-
move the chain cover (3).
3. Remove the chainsaw guide bar (12) and the saw
chain (11).
4. Lay out the saw chain (11) in a loop so that the cut-
ting edges are aligned clockwise. To align the saw
chain (11), follow the symbols (arrows) on the saw
chain or above the chain wheel (14).
