Chain lubricating oil
• Only use commercially available, biodegrad-
able chain oils that are specially designed
for use in garden pruner.
• Do not use engine oil, waste oil or other min-
eral oils.
Adjusting saw chain tension
CAUTION: Do not tighten the saw chain too
much. Excessively high tension of saw chain may
cause breakage of saw chain, wear of the guide
bar and breakage of the sprocket.
CAUTION: A chain which is too loose can jump
off the guide bar.
The saw chain may become loose after many
hours of use. From time to time check the saw
chain tension before use.
• Remove the battery
• Loosen the head screw a bit to loosen the
sprocket cover lightly.
• Adjust the chain tension. Turn the chain ad-
justing screw clockwise to tighten, turn it coun-
ter clock-wise to loosen. Tighten the saw chain
so that the gap between the centre of the lower
side of the guide bar and the saw chain be-
comes approximately 3-4mm.
• Tighten the head screw to secure the sprocket
cover.

Switching ON and OFF
The use of the garden pruner without lubricat-
ing the chain with chain oil will damage the
saw chain and the guide bar.
1. Insert the battery into the battery recess.
2. Hold the garden pruner firmly and securely
by the handgrip(Left Cover).
3. To switch on the garden pruner, first press
the safety switch and release the switch.
4. Then press the ON/OFF switch within 1 sec-
ond .
5. To switch off the saw, release the ON/OFF
switch.
Break-in time for new saw chains
• Remove the battery ad check the chain ten-
sion again. If necessary, re-tighten the chain.
• Use only sharp saw chains. Blunt saw chains
can jam more easily. Check the chain tension
more frequently when working with new saw
chains, as the chain stretches more at first.
The service life of a saw chain depends on suf-
ficient lubrication and the correct tension.
Make sure to lubricate the saw chain suffi-
ciently! Always lubricate the saw chain with
the power off.
• During operation, the chain heats up and re-
tensioning may be necessary. Relax the chain
after work so that it is not too tight the next
time the cold machine is used.
• Do not re-tighten saw chains that have be-
come too hot. After it has cooled down, it
may contract and lie too tight against the
sword. Wait until the saw chain has cooled
down before re-tensioning.
