Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this
chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.

damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to avoid possible injuries wear gloves.
To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the power pruner
carry out the following maintenance works regularly.

loose or damaged saw chain

loose fastenings

wear, especially chain, guide bar and chain wheel


Saw chain and guide bar


Saw chain and guide bar are exposed to a great extent
of wearing. Replace the saw chain and the guide bar
without any delay if their proper function is no longer
ensured.
"Installing the guide bar and the saw chain".

Sharpening of saw chain

You can only work safely and well with a sharp
and clean saw chain. Damaged or incorrectly
sharpened saw chains increase the risk of
kickbacks.
The saw chain has to be sharpened if
 instead of wood shavings only saw dust is ejected
 you have to press the power pruner through the wood
during cutting

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary.
The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.
You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our
electric sharpener KSG 104 (article-no.: 302230) or KSG 220 A
(article-no.: 302360).

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (24) is particularly great. Check
regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.

A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability
of the saw chain and should therefore immediately be
exchanged by the customer service.

Cleaning

Clean the power pruner carefully after each application so
that the faultless function is kept.
Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be
applied.
Check that the ventilation slots for the motor
cooling are free (risk of overheating).
After a longer operation period (1 – 3 hours) remove the
cover (5), the guide bar (1) and the chain (2) and clean
them with a brush.
If heavily contaminated, clean the device using a
commercial chain cleaner.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the
chain wheel (24) and guide bar retainers (a).
Clean the oil flow canal (26) with a clean cloth or a brush.

Pay attention during assembly that the seal (20)
for the oil flow channel has been inserted.

Cleaning of guide bar

Regularly inspect and clean
the Chain tensioner (20) and chain tensioning bore (A)
the oil discharge opening (A) of the guide rail
Remove any burr using a flat file and emery paper.
Turn round the
exchange/sharpening to avoid single-side wearing

Transport

Remove the battery before each
transport.
Transport the power pruner only with the chain protection
put on.
