life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free
of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the
gripping handles, where appropriate,
with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use
no solvents or petrol for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use.
Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do
not use any liquids to clean the chain.
After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with
chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the
surfaces of the machine with a paint
brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use
any liquids for cleaning.
Saw chain oiling
Clean and oil the chain regularly.
This keeps the chain sharp and
achieves optimum machine performance.
Damage due to insufficient maintenance of
the saw chain will invalidate the warranty.
Remove the battery and use cut-resistant
gloves when working with the chain or
with the blade bar.
Maintenance intervals
Regularly carry out the maintenance operations listed in the following table. The life of
the saw is extended by regular maintenance of your chainsaw. Furthermore, you get
optimum cutting performance and avoid accidents.

The blade bar and chain must
never be operated without oil.
If the cordless garden pruner is used with
too little oil, the cutting performance and
lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as
the chain will become blunt more quickly.
You can identify when there is too little
oil if smoke develops or the blade bar
changes colour.
Switch off the device and remove
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once a week,
whichever comes first.
• Before oiling, the blade bar, especially
the teeth of the blade bar, must be thor-
oughly cleaned. Use a hand brush and
a dry cloth for this purpose.
• Oil the individual chain links using an
oil syringe with a needle tip (available
from specialist dealers). Apply individu-
al drops of oil on the joints and on the
tooth tips of the individual chain links.
