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
