Operation

IMPORTANT!
Danger of environmental damage
The use of mineral oil for the chain lubric-
ation leads to serious environmental
damage.
■
Never use mineral oil, but only biolo-
gically degradable saw chain oil.
Each time before starting work or changing the
rechargeable battery, check the oil level and re-
plenish the saw chain oil if necessary:
1. Check the oil level in the viewing aperture
(08/1) of the oil tank. It must always be pos-
sible to see oil. The minimum and the max-
imum oil level must not be exceeded.
2. Place and hold the polemounted pruner hori-
zontal on a firm surface.
3. Clean the appliance around the oil tank cap
(08/2).
4. Unscrew the oil tank cap (08/2).
5. Fill the oil tank with biologically degradable
saw chain oil. While doing so, check the oil
level in the viewing aperture (08/1) of the oil
tank. Do not allow it to overrun.
■
Use a funnel for easier filling.
■
Do not allow any dirt to get into the oil
tank.
6. Screw down the oil tank cap (08/2) again.

5.1

Switching the appliance on and off

See "Multitool MT 36 Li – basic appliance" oper-
ating instructions.
5.2

Checking the chain tension

Frequently check the chain tension, because new
saw chains stretch.
1. Pull through the saw chain a little by hand
and, while doing so, check:
■
When cold: The saw chain has been ten-
sioned correctly when it can be lifted by
approx. 3 – 4 mm in the middle of the
guide rail and can be pulled though easily
by hand. At operating temperature, the
saw chain stretches and hangs down.
■
The drive links of the saw chain are not
allowed to come out of the groove on the
underside of the guide rail – otherwise
the saw chain could jump off.
2. Re-tension the saw chain if necessary (see
chapter 4.2 "Tensioning and slackening the
saw chain (07)", page 26).
5.3

Checking the chain lubrication

Check the function of the automatic chain lubrica-
tion by switching on the polemounted pruner and
pointing its tip towards a piece of cardboard or
paper placed on the ground.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the appliance
Ground contact invariably leads to blunt-
ing of the saw chain.
■
Do not make contact with the ground
with the chain and maintain a safety
distance of 20 cm.
1. Switch on the appliance.
2. Hold the tip of the guide rail in the direction of
a cardboard box or paper on the ground.
■
If the check produces a growing trace of
oil, this indicates the automatic oiling
function is operating correctly.
