• Saw chain (1) is correctly tensioned
if it can be pulled around blade 2 by
hand (wearing gloves) without sag-
ging.
• When the saw chain is tensioned with
9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between
the saw chain and the guide rail may
not be more than 2 mm.
1. Turn blade fixing screws (5) anticlock-
wise to slightly loosen blade (2).
2. Set the tension of saw chain (1) using
chain tensioner (3) (see small image).
- Turn the chain tensioner clockwise to
increase the tension.
- Turn the chain tensioner anticlock-
wise to decrease the tension.
3. Tighten the blade fixing screws (5) in
order to fasten the blade (2) again.
Where saw chain (1) has been newly
tensioned, readjust the chain tension
after a short period in operation.
Check the chain tension before
each use of the cordless pruner.
Chain lubrication
Always switch off the device
and allow the motor to cool
before filling with chain oil.
There is a risk of fire if chain
oil overflows.
Blade ( 2) and saw chain ( 1)
must always be oiled. Non-obser-
vance of this will result in increased
wear on the blade and saw chain.
A full tank will last for approx.
15 minutes of continuous operation.
Check the oil level in good time.
The cordless pruner is equipped with an
oil automatic system. As soon as the motor
is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to
the chain bar ( 2). Before starting work,
check the oil level in the oil automation sys-
tem (see “Operation startup”).
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil fill level in the oil level
inspection window (20) and regularly
top up with chain oil.
• Use bio chain oil ; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center (see page 77 for the
address).
• If you have no bio chain oil available,
use chain lubrication oil with low adhe-
sive additive content.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (19) and fill up
with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled chain oil and
close the cap again.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
Charging process
Do not expose the battery to
extreme conditions such as
heat or impact. Risk of inju-
ry from escaping electrolytic
solution! After eye/skin con-
tact, rinse the affected areas
with water or a neutraliser
and consult a doctor.
