Maintenance, Cleaning and Storing

 If you do not intent to use the electric pole saw for some time,
e.g. over the winter, the bio-degradable chain saw oil must be
drained from the oil tank and the oil ducts, because it will gum
and might damage the machine.
 Pour remaining oil out of the oil tank and store it in a dark, cool
place. Pour a spoonful of mineral oil into the oil tank. Spray
penetrating lubricant on the chain and let the saw run for a few
moments to spread the mineral oil through the oil pump and
the oil ducts.
 When using the pole saw again, liberally apply chainsaw oil.
 Hang the pole saw upright, with the saw end on top.
 Before cleaning and maintaining the pole saw, unplug the
device. Do not pull the cord to unplug from the wall socket but
grasp the plug itself to unplug.
 Always follow the instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubri-
cated chain may either break or increase the risk of kickback.
 Replace dull saw chains and have the chains sharpened
professionally.
 Do not wipe the housing of the machine with sharp detergents
or aggressive chemicals in order not to damage the surfaces.
 Always switch off the pole saw when transporting or carrying
the machine. Slide the guide bar cover (13) over the guide bar.
 Store the pole saw indoors in a dry and dust-free place.
Protect the machine from dust and extreme temperatures.
