push it completely, until hearing the click that

7.3 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

ATTENTION
Only use chainsaw oil or adhesive oil for
chainsaws. Do not use oil containing impurities
so as not to block the oil filter and to prevent
irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or poor
quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication
and reduces the working life of the chain and bar.
Never run the chain without sufficient oil, this
could damage the Pruner device and compromise
safety.
If the oil level is low, top up as follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the cap (Fig. 22.A) from
the oil tank.
2. Pour oil in the tank and monitor the level on the
indicator (Fig. 22.B).
3. Make sure no impurities penetrate the oil tank
when filling.
4. Screw on the oil cap and tighten it.

7.4 CLEANING

7.4.1 Cleaning the machine and the motor
After every work session, clean the machine
thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine and,
in particular, the motor free of leaves, branches
or excessive grease.
• Always clean the machine after use with a damp
cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using a soft damp
cloth. Humidity can generate risks of electric
shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents to
clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
• Do not spray water onto the motor and electrical
components and prevent them from getting wet.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the motor
or the battery, always keep the cooling air vents
clean and free of debris.
7.4.2 Cleaning the chain
Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits
from the chain every time it is used.
If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up,
disassemble the chain and place it in a container
with a specific cleanser for a few hours. Then
rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable
anticorrosive spray, before reassembling on the
machine.

7.5 CHAIN CATCHER

Check the chain catcher conditions before each
use (Fig. 1.J) and repair in the event of damages.
7.6 MACHINE AND BAR LUBRICATION
HOLES
Before daily use, remove the guard (par. 4.2),
disassemble the bar and check that machine
lubrication holes (Fig. 23.A) and guide bar
(Fig. 23.B) are not clogged.

7.7 NUTS AND BOLTS

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the handles are fixed firmly.

8. OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE

8.1 CHAIN DRIVE SPROCKET

Regularly check the condition of the sprocket
with your local dealer and replace it when wear
exceeds the accepted limits.
DANGER
Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocket
or vice-versa.
8.2 MAINTENANCE
CHAIN
DANGER
To ensure that the chainsaw works safely and
efficiently, it is essential that the cutting means are
well-sharpened.
Chain sharpening is necessary when:
• The sawdust looks like dust.
• Cutting becomes more difficult.
