Charge it every 3 months. Make sure to keep ventilation holes clean and free from dirt. Store the charger indoor between 5-25 degrees C.

Chain lubrication

The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic lubrication system, which ensures the chain is always lubricated optimally. However, the system depends on chain oil in oil tank and regular cleaning .The chainsaw is not supplied filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive damage to the product.Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled during operation via oil outlet.

Filling chain oil in tank

1. Set chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth and unscrew cap.
3. Add chainsaw oil until reservoir is full.
4.  Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap and tighten.
5. Use only the recommended chain oil (ALCO SAE 30 or similar with viscosity 120) to avoid damage to the chainsaw.
6. Never use recycled/old oil.
7. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty.
8. Check oil level prior to starting and regularly during operation.
9. Refill oil when oil level is low.
10. To test the oil lubrication, apply speed on chain. Check that the chain oil sprays out as shown in the illustration
11. If no oil comes out, check that there is oil in oil tank and make sure the guide bar groove and holes are free from dirt. Also clean around the oil outlet behind the bar on machine.

Use

Before use, make sure that the battery is fitted properly with the battery lock in place. To start the chainsaw, first press the safety lock (1) and then the On/off switch (2) to activate the chain saw. Stop the chain saw by releasing on/off switch. The telescopic length can be adjusted between 0-67cm. To adjust telescopic length, loosen the extension lock then adjust telescopic shaft to desired length. I

MPORTANT
Remember to lock the lock extension again.

Clothing

When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes, strong working gloves, hearing protectors, eye protection, safety boots with non-skid soles and protective trousers.

Tips and advices

This tool is used for cutting smaller branches off from trees. Do not try to cut trees with it. Only branches. Always be careful when working above head height, as falling branches might hit you.

• Always hold the machine with both hands.
• Hold the machine on the right side of the body. Use the belt strap.
• Whenever possible, try position yourself so that you can make the cut in right angles to the branches.
• Cut large branches in sections, so that you have better control over where they fall.
• You should also pay attention to the fact that falling branches can bounce in the direction of the user after hitting the ground.
• Never cut through the swelling at the roof of the branch as this will slow down healing and increase the risk of fungal attack.
• Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide support during cutting.
• This will help prevent the cutting attachment from jumping on the branch.
• Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch before cutting through the branch.
• This will prevent tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing and cause permanent damage to the tree.
• The cut should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it from jamming.

 Maintenance

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.

• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
• For obtaining the best cutting results the chain and guide bar must be cleaned and oiled regularly.
• Remove dirt with a brush and oil lightly.
• Use biodegradable oil.
• Clean the housing and other parts with a mild cleanser and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

Lubrication hole

Remove the guide bar and check that the lubrication hole Fig. 8.1 is not blocked with sawdust or dirt. Lubricate with oil/grease.

Guide bar

Clean the nose wheel and chain groove of any dirt. If required, turn the guide bar over to evenly share wear. A worn guide bar can be hazardous to use and should therefore be replaced

Chain

The chain should be filed regularly to ensure the best result

1. Ensure that the guide bar is securely attached.
2. Use a 4.0 mm 3/8 round file not supplied.
3. File all of the teeth with 3-4 strokes, so that they are uniform, as shown in the illustration.
4. The height of the teeth must be checked regularly, and if they are too high they must be filed down using a flat file not supplied.

Replacing saw chain / guide bar

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain type 90PX033X art. no. 441889. Inspect guide bar before sharpening or replacing chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe and should be replaced. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage the chain. It will also make cutting harder.

Storage

Store the pole chainsaw dry and unavailable for children. Use the guide bar cover when the machine is stored.
