TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection.
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with: EN ISO 11680-1:2011.
WARNING: The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

1. Switch off the pruning saw, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped.
2. Press in the lever to adjust the sawing angle and adjust the angle of the bar.
3. Make sure that the bar is locked in the required position.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Switch off the pruning saw, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before cleaning and/or maintenance.

• Always check the condition of the pruning saw before using it.
• Keep the ventilation opening on the pruning saw clean.
• Never clean the pruning saw with water. Clean the motor casing with a damp cloth. Never use detergents or solvents – these can damage the plastic parts on the pruning saw.
• Store the pruning saw with the supplied bar guard fitted.
• Only use accessories and spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.

Checking and adjusting the chain tension
IMPORTANT:

• It is very important that the chain is correctly tensioned. The chain works better and lasts longer if it is correctly tensioned. The sprocket, bar, chain and bearings get worn a lot quicker if the chain is not properly tensioned. Diagram 11 shows the correct tension for a cold chain (A), the correct tension of a hot chain (B), and when the chain needs to be adjusted (C).
• Always check the tension of the chain before starting and during the work. The chain is correctly tensioned when it rests against the underside of the bar, but can still be pulled along the bar by hand.
• A new chain must be tensioned after no more than five cuts. Once the chain has been run in it does not need to be adjusted as often.
  1. Lift the tip of the bar and turn the adjuster screw for the chain tension clockwise to tension the chain.
  2. Turn the adjuster screw anticlockwise to reduce the tension.
  3. Check that the chain fits flush with the bar all round.
  FIG. 11
  NOTE:
  If it is difficult to pull the chain round by hand then it is too tight. Follow the instructions below to reduce the tension.
  4. Undo the lock nuts for the bar.
  5. Reduce the tension of the chain by slowly turning the adjuster screw anticlockwise.
  6. Pull the chain backwards and forwards on the bar. The chain is correctly tensioned when it rests against the underside of the bar, but can still be pulled along the bar by hand. Increase the tension of the chain by turning the adjuster screw clockwise.
  7. When the chain is correctly tensioned, hold up the tip of the bar and firmly tighten the two lock nuts.
  FIG. 12
  

Checking and filling the chain oil

1. Check at regular intervals that the automatic lubrication system is working properly.

2. Always check the oil level before use.
   FIG. 13

3. Fill the oil reservoir to about half of the level glass. Proper lubrication is essential to minimise the friction to the bar.

4. Start the pruning saw and run the chain about 20 cm over a suitable surface for 15 seconds. If the chain lubrication is working properly there should be splashing of oil on the surface. If there is no splashing, clean the oil outlet behind the bar and check that the flow of oil is not blocked. Check the oval seal is in place between the oil outlet and the bar.

NOTE:

• Never use the saw if the lubrication is not working properly. Inadequate lubrication results in the chain quickly going blunt and reduces its lifespan. It also overheats the bar and and will cause it to wear out. Smoke or discolouration of the bar are signs of inadequate lubrication.

Lubricating the sprocket
IMPORTANT:

• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Switch off the pruning saw, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before lubricating it.

The bar sprocket should be lubricated at intervals of 25 working hours, or once a week during intensive Use.

1. Clean the sprocket.

2. Press grease from the nozzle of the grease gun into the lubrication hole (see arrow) until it comes out by the edge of the bar.
   A grease gun with a slim nozzle simplifies effective lubrication.
   FIG. 14

3. Pull round the chain by hand. Repeat until all the sprocket has been lubricated.

NOTE:

• It is not necessary to remove the chain to lubricate the sprocket.
• Clean the sprocket before lubricating it.
• Failure to follow the instructions for lubricating the sprocket can cause it to seize, and will invalidate the warranty.

Sharpening the chain
WARNING!

• A worn or incorrectly filed chain can result in kickback, which can result in fatal and/ or serious personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• The filing should be done with a special tool to ensure that the chain has the right angles and height.
• All the drive links should have the same height. Different heights of the drive links will cause the chain to run out of balance and damage it.
• The minimum height of the drive links is 4 mm. Discard the chain if they are less. The angles of the cutting edges must be maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes from inside and out.
• File the chain with a round file. Always file the cutting edges from inside and out. Pay attention to the values given in the diagrams. After filing all the drive links should have the same width and height.
• The height of the rakers should be checked after 3 – 4 filings. If necessary, file down the rakers with a file template and flat file.

FIG. 15
FIG. 16
FIG. 17
FIG. 18
IMPORTANT:

• A sharp chain produces a good size of chips. When sawing produces small chips or dust it is time to file the chain.
• Correct filing of the rakers is just as important as filing the cutting edges of the chain.

Bar

• Turn the bar round every 8 working hours to ensure that it wears uniformly.
• Use a cleaning tool to keep the groove and lubrication holes clean (sold separately).
• Check the bar at regular intervals for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Clean the oil channels on the bar to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain.

WARNING!
Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket or worn guide ring.
