secure hold.
• Clean the machine as necessary with a damp cloth
and a mild cleanser, if appropriate.
• If the chainsaw is not used for an extended period of
time, remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly place
the chainsaw and the guide bar in an oil bath and then
wrap it in oil paper.
Attention!
• Allow the motor to cool down for transport, and secure
the machine against slipping before you transport it with
a vehicle. This ensures that damage and injuries are
prevented. A pole-mounted pruner is always transported
with the transport guard attached.
• Pull out the mains connector each time before
cleaning.
• Never submerge the device in water or fluids for
cleaning.
• Store the chain saw in a secure, dry place and out of
the reach of children.
11. Information for environmental protection/
disposal
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a coll-
ection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.
Only for EU countries
Do not discard electric tools in the household
waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU
on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling ma-
nagement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without elec-
trical components accompanying the waste equipment.
12. Repair Service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried out
by specialist electrical personnel.
Always keep the original packaging for a possibly re-
quired shipping of the tool.
9. Maintenance
Attention! Always unplug the mains plug before
inspection and adjustment work. Always wear
work gloves while working on the chainsaw to
avoid injuries.
To ensure long, reliable use of the pole-mounted pruner,
complete the following maintenance work at regular in-
tervals.
Check the pole-mounted pruner for:
- loose or damaged saw chain
- loose fastening
- wear, especially on the chain, guide rail, and chain
wheel.
- worn or damaged components
- properly installed and intact covers and protective de-
vices.
Complete necessary repairs or maintenance work before
using the pole-mounted pruner.
Safety devices removed for maintenance and cleaning
must be attached again correctly and checked.
9.1 Replacing the saw chain and guide bar
The guide bar must be replaced if the guide
• groove of the guide bar is worn out.
• the spur wheel in the guide bar is damaged or worn
out.
For this purpose, proceed as described in the chapter
“Assembly of the guide bar and saw chain“!
9.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the
subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain
associated with it. For this purpose, align the guide bar
tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree)
and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing amount
of oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions
properly. If no clear trace of oil appears, please read the
appropriate information in the chapter “Fault remedy“!
If this information does not help, please contact our cu-
stomer service or a similarly qualified workshop.
Attention! Do not touch the surface during the
process. Maintain a sufficient safety clearance
(approx. 20 cm).
9.3 Sharpening the saw chain
Effective work with the chainsaw is only possible if the
saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the danger of a kickback. The saw chain can
be resharpened by a specialty dealer. Do not attempt
to sharpen the saw chain yourself if you do not have a
suitable tool and the necessary experience.
10. Cleaning and storage
• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing
compressed air onto or cleaning it with a brush. Do
not use any tools for the cleaning.
• Keep oil away from the handle in order to ensure a
