CSM 1815

Operation

IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the ap-

pliance.

Due to the metallic abrasion it contains,

the use of used oil for lubricating the chain would
lead to premature wear of the guide rail and saw
chain. Also, the warranty of the manufacturer will
become void.

■

Never use used oil, only biologically degrad-
able saw chain oil.

IMPORTANT! Danger of environmental dam-

age.

The use of mineral oil for the chain lubrica-

tion leads to serious environmental damage.

■

Never use mineral oil, but only biologically
degradable saw chain oil.

Each time before starting work or changing the
rechargeable battery, check the oil level and top
up the saw chain oil if necessary:

1. Check the oil level on the sight glass (02/1) of

the chain oil tank. Oil must always be visible.

Note:

The minimum oil level (MIN) must not

be undershot and the maximum oil level
(MAX) must not be exceeded.

2. If the battery is plugged in: Pull out the bat-

tery to prevent unintentional starting of the
pruning saw when filling with oil.

3. Place and hold the pruning saw in a horizon-

tal position on a firm surface.

4. Clean the device around the cap (03/1) of the

chain oil tank.

5. Unscrew the cap of the chain oil tank.

6. Fill the filler neck (03/2) with saw chain oil up

to the MAX mark (03/a). Do not allow it to
overflow!

Note:

Use a funnel for easier filling.

Note:

Do not allow any dirt to get into the oil

tank.

7. Wipe away any spilled saw chain oil.

8. Screw the chain oil tank cap back on.

9. Install a battery.
