Operating the pruner saw without chain oil will damage the
pruner saw.
The service life of the saw chain and the cutting performance
depend on optimum lubrication.
Note: It is important to use only readily biodegradable chain
lubricants (according to RAL-UZ48) to avoid damage to the
pruner saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved
oil will invalidate the warranty.
Applying oil to the saw chain:
– Remove the battery before oiling the chain.
– Always wear gloves when applying oil to the saw chain.
– Put the pruner saw on a suitable surface, with the cover
(11) facing up.
– Apply oil in the area between the chain bar and the saw
chain.
– Reinsert the battery. Briefly switch the pruner saw on to
distribute the oil evenly over the guide bar and saw chain.
Operation
Switching On and Off (see figure E)
Switching On
Remove the chain cover (13) and insert the charged battery.
Hold the pruner saw with both hands, one hand on the rear
handle (6) and one hand on the auxiliary handle (3).
Press the power lock-off button (4) and afterwards the On/
Off switch (5).
As soon as the saw chain (14) moves, release the lock-off
button for the On/Off switch (4) again.
After changing the battery, check that the pruner saw starts
up before you start cutting.
Switching Off
Release the On/Off switch (5); the saw chain (14) comes to
a standstill.
If the saw chain (14) does not stop after you release the On/
Off switch (5), contact your Bosch Service Centre.
Remove the battery and mount the chain cover (13).
Working with the pruner saw
Always read the operating and safety information be-
u
fore use.
Never operate the machine with defective guards or
u
shields, or without safety devices, for example protec-
tion from the running saw chain in place.
Always check the condition of the pruner saw and the
u
chain. Is the saw chain lubricated with oil? See Sec-
tion "Saw chain lubrication". Only use the pruner saw
if it is in perfect condition. Do not make any modifica-
tions to the pruner saw.
Always check that the pruner saw is correctly as-
u
sembled, see Section "Mounting and Tensioning the
Saw Chain".

Check that the chain guard is positioned correctly. If
u
the chain guard is faulty and does not return to its nor-
mal position, contact your Bosch Service Centre.
Always wear suitable clothing and personal protective
u
equipment.
Wear safety glasses, hearing protection and protect-
u
ive gloves. Suitable clothing reduces the risk of injury
from thrown about cuttings and accidental contact
with the saw chain.
Always make sure that the environment is free from
u
obstacles and persons not involved.
Always use the pruner saw on a stable, level surface.
u
Always use the pruner saw in good light conditions.
Never use the pruner saw on a ladder or above
u
shoulder height.
Never over-reach or work with arms fully extended.
u
Always hold the pruner saw with both hands.
u
Be careful with oil on the grip surfaces and use the
u
gloves.
Use a protective mask when cutting treated wood.
u
Check if there is no power cable in the cutting area.

General Behaviour (see figure G)
– First-time users should practice cutting logs on a saw
horse.
– Hold the pruning saw at the side of your body, with your
preferred hand.
– The movable chain guard (1), is in place for protection of
the auxiliary handle. This guard will move up, as the tool
cuts through the wood. After cutting, the chain guard (1)
will return to its starting position.
– The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood.
– Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do
the work.
– Remove the pruner saw with the saw chain running from
an unfinished cut.
– Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of
the pruner saw changes unexpectedly as it cuts free from
the wood. Danger of injury to the legs and feet.
Kickback (see figure H)
Never remove or alter the chain guard! The saw is
equipped with the protection from the running saw chain to
prevent kickback if the tip of the saw is accidentally pressed
against the wood.
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the pru-
ner saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the chain
bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain
becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs, the pruner saw reacts unpredictable
and can cause heavy injuries to the operator or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards,
slanted or during length cuts; release the On/Off switch(5)
in dangerous situations to prevent injuries.
