Saw chain oiling
m
CAUTION!
Clean and oil the chain regularly. This
u
keeps the chain sharp and achieves
optimum machine performance. Damage
due to insufficient maintenance of the saw
chain will invalidate the warranty. Remove
the battery and use cut-resistant gloves
when working with the chain or with the
blade bar.
The blade bar and chain must never be
u
operated without oil. If the cordless pruning
saw is used with too little oil, the cutting
performance and lifespan of the saw chain
will decrease as the chain will become
blunt more quickly. You can identify when
there is too little oil if smoke develops or the
blade bar changes colour.
m
WARNING!
Switch off the product and remove
u
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of
use or at least once a week, whichever comes
first.
Before oiling, the blade bar, especially the
teeth of the blade bar, must be thoroughly
cleaned. Use a hand brush and a dry cloth
for this purpose.
Oil the individual chain links using an oil
syringe with a needle tip (available from
specialist dealers). Apply individual drops of
oil on the joints and on the tooth tips of the
individual chain links.
Maintenance intervals
Regularly carry out the maintenance operations
listed in the following table. The life of the saw
is extended by regular maintenance of your
chainsaw. Furthermore, you get optimum cutting
performance and avoid accidents.
