Before the first start-up
Chain lubrication
The power pruner is not delivered filled with saw chain
adhering oil.
Any use without chain saw oil may result in damage of
the saw chain and guide bar.
The durability and cutting power of the chain depends on the
optimal lubrication. During operation the saw chain is
automatically wetted with oil.
Charging the oil tank
Stop the engine and wear protective gloves.
Avoid eye and skin contact.
Put the power pruner on a suitable base.
Unscrew the oil tank lock (20).
Fill the oil tank with bio-degradable chainsaw oil (order
no. 400144). For easier filling use a funnel.
When filling observe that no dirt reaches the oil tank.
Screw on the oil tank lock (20) again.
Never use recycled oil or used oil. The guarantee expires
when using oil which is not allowed for such devices.
Checking the chain lubrication
Never operate the power pruner without functioning
chain lubrication.
Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by
switching on the power pruner and holding it with the spike in
direction of a carton or paper on the ground.
Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain. Keep a
safe distance of 20 cm.
If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil
automatic works faultless.
If there is no oil track despite full oil tank
Clean the oil flow channel (26) and
clean the chain clamping boring (27)
If this is not successful please contact the customer service.
Start-up
• Before each setting or checking the device pull out power
plug.
• In order to avoid injuries wear protective gloves.
Clamping of saw chain
Check the saw chain tension
before start of work
after the first steps
during sawing regularly all 10 minutes
Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient
lubrication you can influence the durability.
20
Please observe the following:
a new saw chain must be reclamped more often.
in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it
expands and needs to be reclamped.
After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw
chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge
in the saw chain.
if chain flakers or comes out of the guide clamp it again
immediately.
Clamping of saw chain
Place the power pruner on an even surface as shown.
Loosen the fastening screw (3) by max. 1 turn.
Turn the chain tension ring (12) stepwise clockwise until
the correct chain tension is reached.
The fastening screw (3) turns with it; possibly it
must be released again during the clamping process.
he saw chain is correctly stretched when it can be lifted
T
in the centre of the chain guide by approx. 3
Turn the chain tension ring (4) anti-clockwise when the
saw chain is stretched too much.
Check that the chain links are positioned correctly in the
guiding groove of the guide bar.
Refasten the fastening screw with the hand.
Wearing the shoulder belt
Place the belt (17) over the shoulder and adjust the belt
length so that the belt attachment (b) is positioned at hip
level. The quick acting closure (18) is located at the
front.
The quick acting closure can be opened with the left hand.
Setting the working height
Loosen the clamping screw (10); you can then pull the
two telescope rods (7, 11) apart or push them together.
Setting the working angle
Press the angle adjustment (6) and swivel the device
/
head into the desired position.
Mains connection
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to
the relevant and properly earthed plug.
Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with
residual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 mA).
Only use extension cables with sufficient core cross-section.
Mains fuse
10 A inert
Mounting of the extension cable
Plug the female connector of the extension cable on the
male connector of the device.
