the Guide Bar just ahead of the kink and then
pull the kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free
of kinks.
7. Fit the Chain Cover. Tilt the guide bar forward
where the guide bar tip is pushed in an vertically
downward direction. This will remove slack from
the chain. The correct chain tension is reached
when the chain can be raised approx. Half the
drivelink depth from the guide bar in the center.
This should be done by using one hand to raise
the chain against the weight of the machine.
Then tighten the Chain Cover by turning the
Housing-Cover Knob clockwise until it is tight.
(See Fig. D)
NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when
it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the
drivelink is within the rail of the Guide Bar. (See
Fig. E)
NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes
loose, completely unscrew the Housing-Cover
Knob or turn the knob around three full turns in
a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the
Housing-Cover Knob to properly reset the chain
tension by repeating Steps 1-7 listed above.
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the
chain tension frequently when first used and
tighten when the Chain becomes loose around
the Guide Bar.
LUBRICATION
(See Fig. F1, F2)
Important: The Pruning Saw is not filled with oil.
It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the Pruning Saw without chain oil or
at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in
extensive damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain
should be oiled before operation.
FILLING OIL TANK:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack
before filling the oil tank.
1. Set Pruning Saw on any suitable surface with oil
filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth
and unscrew the cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler
cap and tighten by turning clockwise until hand
tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil tank,
small breather channels are provided
between the oil filler cap and the strainer, to
prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant (not
provided) that is formulated to perform over a
wide temperature range with no dilution required.
This can be found at the location where you
purchased this saw or your local hardware store.
Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.Use
of non approved oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store
away from heat or open flame.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC OILER
WARNING:Cutting edges on chain are
sharp. Use protective gloves.
Put downward the chain saw and lift the Chain
Guard to the maximum position for lubrication
after filling up the oil tank. (See Fig. F2) Proper
functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked
by running the Pruning Saw and pointing the tip of
the guide chain bar towards a piece of cardboard
or paper on the ground. If an increasing oil pattern
develops on the cardboard, the automatic oiler is
operating fine. If there is no oil pattern, despite a full
oil reservoir, contact Kress customer service agent
or Kress approved service agent.
Caution: Do not touch the ground with the
chain. Ensure safety clearance of 40cm.

OPERATION

1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS
TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or
allow metallic objects into your charger or battery
pack connections because of an electrical failure and
hazard will occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you
must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the
Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use
another battery charger.
(1) CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK (See
Fig. G1, G2)
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the
machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the
battery pack may become too hot to permit
charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down
before recharging.
(2) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY
PACK (See Fig. H)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to
remove the Battery Pack from your tool. After
recharging, insert the Battery Pack into the battery
port. A simple push and slight pressure will be
sufficient until a click is heard. Check to see if the
battery is fully secured.
