Maintenance, Cleaning and Storing
If you do not intent to use the electric branch cutter for some time, e.g. over
the winter, the bio-degradable chain saw oil must be drained from the oil
tank and the oil ducts, because it will gum and might damage the machine.
Pour remaining oil out of the oil tank and store it in a dark, cool place. Pour
a spoonful of mineral oil into the oil tank. Spray penetrating lubricant on the
chain and let the saw run for a few moments to spread the mineral oil
through the oil pump and the oil ducts.
When using the branch cutter again, liberally apply chainsaw oil.
Hang the branch cutter upright, with the saw end on top.
Before cleaning and maintaining the branch cutter, unplug the device. Do
not pull the cord to unplug from the wall socket but grasp the plug itself to
unplug.
Always follow the instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing
accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the risk of kickback.
Replace dull saw chains and have the chains sharpened professionally.
Do not wipe the housing of the machine with sharp detergents or
aggressive chemicals in order not to damage the surfaces.
Always switch off the branch cutter when transporting or carrying the
machine. Slide the guide bar protection (18) over the guide bar.
Store the branch cutter indoors in a dry and dust-free place. Protect the
machine from dust and extreme temperatures.
