WARNING
Health hazard!
Inhalation of fuel / lubricating oil vapours and exhaust
gases can cause serious damage to health, uncon-
sciousness and in extreme cases death.
– Do not breathe fuel / lubricating oil vapours and ex-
haust gases.
– Operate the product outdoors only.
ATTENTION
The fuel/oil mixture must be filled in before the device is
used for the first time.
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the fuel level – the fuel tank should be at least
half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws, nuts and bolts are tightened.
• Ensure that the product is sufficiently ventilated.
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is attached to
the spark plug.
Required tool:
• Oil-petrol mixing bottle (44)
9.1
Fill in chain oil (Fig. 1, 9)
DANGER
Always switch off the product and let the motor cool
down before filling with oil. There is a risk of fire if oil
overflows.
WARNING
The guide bar and saw chain must never be without oil.
If you operate the pole-mounted pruner with too little oil,
the cutting performance and service life of the saw
chain will be reduced as the saw chain will become
blunt more quickly. You can see that there is too little oil
by smoke being produced or by the guide bar discolour-
ing.
ATTENTION
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
– Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
– Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
– Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
– Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
– Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
48 | GB
The saw chain will be lubricated automatically while the
product is running. To lubricate the saw chain sufficiently,
there must always be enough saw chain oil in the oil tank.
Check the amount of oil remaining in the oil tank at regu-
lar intervals.
Notes:
* = may not be included in the scope of delivery!
• The cover is equipped with an anti-loss device.
• Preferably fill the pole-mounted pruner with biode-
gradable chain oil.
• Ensure that the cover of the oil tank is in place and
closed before switching on the product.
• Clean the funnel before reusing it.
1. Open the oil tank (23). To do this, unscrew the oil tank
cap (23) anti-clockwise.
2. To prevent oil from leaking, use a funnel.
3. Carefully add the saw chain oil until it reaches the top
mark on the oil level indicator (23a). Oil tank capacity:
max. 100 ml.
4. Screw the cover of the oil tank (23) clockwise to close
the oil tank (23).
5. Wipe up any spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
6. To check the product lubrication, hold the chainsaw
with the saw chain over a sheet of paper and give it
full throttle for a few seconds. You can see on the pa-
per whether the chain lubrication is working.
9.2
Check the level of the fuel/oil
mixture (Fig. 1)
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
When filling, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can
lead to severe burns or death.
• Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
• Always use fresh fuel/oil mixture.
• Keep heat, flames and sparks away.
• Only fill up with fuel outdoors.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from the
fuel filling point.
• Watch out for leaks. If fuel is leaking, do not start the
engine.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that
no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
1. Check the fuel level.
2. Add fuel if the fuel level is too low.
– Pay attention to the correct mixing ratio!
9.2.1
Do not mix the fuel mixture in the tank.
