BEFORE USING : Chain life and cutting capacity depend on
optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain should be oiled
before operation.
If you drop the pruning saw, carefully inspect it for damage.
If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken
or if you see any other condition that may affect the saw's
operation, call our customer service line at 1-800-633-1501
for assistance.
Make sure the battery is detached from the unit, then use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by
a qualified individual always using identical replacement
parts.
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Ensure that the plastic bar cover is in place when storing.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be maintained
properly. The chain requires sharpening when the wood
chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced
through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one
side. Refer to instructions earlier in this manual for
instructions on properly sharpening the chain.

LUBRICATION
Switch off the pruning saw and remove the battery. Place the
pruning saw on a level surface with the Housing-Cover facing
up. Clean the Guide Bar
and Chain with a soft
brush or solvent. Apply
lubrication oil in area (a)
between Guide Bar and
Chain. Fit the battery
Switch on the pruning
saw. Lubrication oil is
evenly distributed over
the chain. The saw
chain is lubricated.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on the saw
to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The bar should be
cleaned every day of use and checked for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar
wear. Such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as
they occur.
A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced.
− Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay over
sideways.
Bent guide bar
−
− Cracked or broken rails
− Spread rails
In addition, guide bars with a sprocket at their tip must be
lubricated weekly with a grease syringe to extend the guide bar
life. Using a grease syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating
hole.
Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and
chain groove are free from obstructions.
Possible Solution
-Check battery is fully inserted
-Check that lock off button is fully forward prior to moving trigger
-Check battery installation
-Check battery charging requirements
- Adjust chain tension
- Add chain oil
- Reverse chain so that cutters face the right direction
- Adjust chain tension
- Replace damaged bar and chain with identical replacement
parts.
