Filling saw chain oil (08)

There is no appliance saw chain oil in the ap-
pliance upon delivery.
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the ap-
pliance. Use of the appliance without saw chain
oil leads to damage of the saw chain and the
guide rail.
■
Never operate the appliance without saw
chain oil.
■
Before starting work, fill the saw chain oil in
the oil tank and check the oil level during the
work.
■
At least before starting work each time, check
that the chain lubrication is working.
The service life and cutting performance of the
saw chain depend on optimum lubrication. The
saw chain has oil applied to it automatically
during operation.
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the ap-
pliance. Due to the metallic abrasion it contains,
the use of used oil for lubricating the chain would
lead to premature wear of the guide rail and saw
chain. Also, the warranty of the manufacturer will
become void.
■
Never use used oil, only biologically degrad-
able saw chain oil.
IMPORTANT! Danger of environmental dam-
age. The use of mineral oil for the chain lubrica-
tion leads to serious environmental damage.
■
Never use mineral oil, but only biologically
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 possi-
ble to see oil. The minimum and the maxi-
mum 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 OPERATION

CAUTION! Danger of burns. The gearbox
housing becomes hot during operation.
■
Do not touch the gearbox housing.

Swivelling saw head (09)

The swivelling saw head allows you to saw from
a comfortable and safe working position.
1. Press push-buttons (09/1) on both sides of
the saw head.
2. Swivel the saw head into the desired position
(09/a).
3. Release the push-buttons. The saw head en-
gages in the selected position.

Switching the appliance on and off

See "Multitool MT 42.2 – basic appliance" operat-
ing instructions.
5.3

Checking the chain tension

Check the chain tension at frequent intervals, as
new saw chains stretch.
1. Turn the saw chain slightly by hand and
check the following:
■
When the chain is cold: The saw chain
has been tensioned correctly when it can
be lifted by approx. 3 – 4 mm in the mid-
dle of the chain bar and can be pulled
though easily by hand. At operating tem-
perature, the saw chain stretches and
sags.
■
The drive links of the saw chain must not
come out of the groove on the underside
of the chain bar – otherwise the saw
chain could jump off.
2. Retension the saw chain, if necessary (see
chapter 4.2 "Tensioning and slackening the
saw chain (07)", page 21).
