Operation
Chain Oil
The branch cutter is delivered without oil. Before using the branch cutter for
the first time, fill suitable chain oil into the oil tank. Operating the branch
cutter without chain oil will damage the machine.
Open the oil tank cap (3). Only use bio-degradable chain saw oil. Observe
the MIN marking on the oil tank. The oil tank has to be filled at least up to
the MIN marking. While filling, make sure dirt cannot get into the oil tank.
Dirt can damage the built-in oil pump.
Saw Chain
Only use sharp chains. Dull chains easily can get jammed.
While working with new chains, regularly check the chain tension because
new chains can lengthen considerably upon initial operation.
The service life of a saw chain mainly depends on sufficient lubrication and
correct tensioning.
Do not tension a hot chain. After cooling down, the chain may shorten and
therefore becomes over tensioned.
Operation
1. Check the oil level and connect the power plug to power mains.
2. To switch on the branch cutter, first slide the safety switch (10) forwards
and then press the main switch (11).
3. To switch off the branch cutter, release the main switch. The chain will
immediately stop while the machine is still running out. While cutting, make
sure the oil level does not drop under the MIN marking.
