9. Maintenance

9.1 Replacing the saw chain and guide bar
The guide bar must be replaced if
• the guide groove of the guide bar is worn out.
• the spur wheel in the guide bar is damaged or worn
out.
For this purpose, proceed as described in the chapter
"Assembly of the guide bar and saw chain"!
9.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the
subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain
associated with it. For this purpose, align the guide bar
tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree) and
allow the pole pruner to run. If an increasing amount of
oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions
properly. If no clear trace of oil appears, please read the
appropriate information in the chapter "Fault remedy"!
If this information does not help, please contact our cu-
stomer service or a similarly qualified workshop.
attention! Do not touch the surface during the
process. Maintain a sufficient safety clearance
(approx. 20 cm).
9.3 sharpening the saw chain
Effective work with the pole pruner is only possible if
the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the danger of a kickback. The saw chain can
be resharpened by a specialty dealer. Do not attempt
to sharpen the saw chain yourself if you do not have a
suitable tool and the necessary experience.

10. Cleaning and storage

• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing
compressed air onto or cleaning it with a brush. Do
not use any tools for the cleaning.
• Keep oil away from the handle in order to ensure a
secure hold.
• Clean the machine as necessary with a damp cloth
and a mild cleanser, if appropriate.
• If the pole pruner is not used for an extended period of
time, remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly place
the pole pruner and the guide bar in an oil bath and
then wrap it in oil paper.
Caution! The saw chain is sharp.
• When storing and transporting the tool, always fit the
protective cover.
• Secure the tool during transport, in order to avoid
damage or injuries.
• Always clean and perform maintenance work on the
tool before placing it in storage.

attention!
• Always replace the protective cover for transport or
storage of the chainsaw.
• Remove the battery each time before cleaning.
• Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
• Store the pole pruner in a safe and dry place and out
of the reach of children.
11. Information for environmental Protection/
Disposal
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a coll-
ection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.
only for eU countries
Do not discard electric tools in the household
waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC
on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling ma-
nagement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without elec-
trical components accompanying the waste equipment.
