To clean the Pole Pruner:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury and risk of damage to the product.
v Do not clean the product with water or with a water jet
(in particular high-pressure water jet).
v Do not clean with chemicals including petrol or solvents.
Some can destroy critical plastic parts.
The airflow slots must always be clean.
1. Clean the pole pruner with a damp cloth.
2. Clean the airflow slots with a soft brush (do not use a screwdriver).
3. Clean the bar with a brush, if necessary.
To clean the battery and the battery charger:
Make sure that the surface and the contacts of the battery and the
battery charger always are clean and dry before you connect the battery
charger.
Do not use running water.
v Battery charger: Clean the contacts and the plastic parts with a soft
and dry cloth.
v Battery: Occasionally clean the ventilation slots and the terminals on
the battery using a soft brush that is clean and dry.
To tension the chain [ Fig. M1 /M2 / M3 /M4 ]:
RISK OF BURN INJURIES!
A too tightly tensioned chain can lead to motor overload and damage,
whereas insufficient tensioning can cause the chain to jump off the rail.
A correctly tensioned chain offers the best cutting performance, opti-
mum battery life and a longer service life. Therefore, you should check
the tensioning regularly as the chain may expand when being used
(especially when the chain is new; following first installation, the tension-
ing of the chain must be checked after the chainsaw has been used for
a few minutes).
v However, do not tension the chain immediately after use but
wait until it has cooled down.
