• Correct tensioning of the saw chain is for the safety
of the user and reduces or prevents wear and chain
damage.
• We recommend that the user check the chain ten-
sion before starting work for the first time. The saw
chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag on
the underside of the guide bar and can be pulled all
the way round with a gloved hand
• If the saw chain (11) sags or the spring tensioner (13)
is defective, contact a specialist workshop.
m Attention! When working with the saw, the saw
chain heats up and expands slightly as a result. This
"stretching" is to be expected especially with new
saw chains.
8.3 Fill in chain oil (Fig. 6)
m Attention!
Product damage!
If the product is operated without oil, with too little oil
or with used oil, this can lead to product damage. And
the cutting performance and the lifetime of the saw
chain will decrease, as the chain becomes blunt more
quickly.
- Fill with oil before start-up. The product is deliv-
ered without oil.
- Do not use used oil!
- Refill the tank with saw-chain oil at the latest every
time you change the rechargeable battery.
- You can also see that there is too little oil by smoke
being produced or by the guide bar discolouring.
NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and
dispose it according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
The chain lubrication has a considerable influence on
the service life of the saw chain. The saw chain will be
lubricated automatically while the machine is running.
To lubricate the saw chain sufficiently, there must al-
ways be enough saw chain oil in the tank. Check the
amount of oil remaining in the oil tank at regular inter-
vals.

Notes:
• When you fill the cordless pruning saw with oil for
the first time or fill the completely empty oil tank, fill
oil up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Otherwise,
the oil supply may be impaired.
• Use only pruning saw oil or bio chain oil available
on the market.
• Never use oil containing dust and foreign bodies or
highly volatile oil.
• Use botanical oil for pruning trees. Mineral oil can
damage trees.
• Make sure the oil tank cap is in place before cutting.
1. To top up bio chain oil, place the product on a flat
surface.
2. Open the oil tank (16). To do this, unscrew the oil
tank cap (16) anti-clockwise.
3. Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refilling so
that no oil can leak onto the housing or floor. Note
the max. filling capacity of 30 cm³ (30 ml).
4. Then close the oil tank cap (16) again.
5. Wipe up any spilled oil carefully immediately and
dispose of the cloth according to local regulations.
6. To check the saw chain lubrication, hold the prun-
ing saw with the saw chain over a piece of paper
and give a few seconds of full throttle. You can
see on the paper whether the chain lubrication is
working.
8.4 Inserting/removing the rechargeable battery
(Fig. 3)
m Attention!
Product damage!
If you do not hold the machine and rechargeable bat-
tery securely, they may slip out of your hand, resulting
in damage to the machine, battery and personal injury.
- Hold the machine and rechargeable battery se-
curely when attaching or removing the battery.
1. To remove the rechargeable battery (15), pull it off
the machine while pressing the release button on
the front of the battery.
2. To attach the rechargeable battery (15), align its
guide spring with the groove in the housing and
slide the battery in. Push it in completely until it
clicks into place.
