Sharpening line cutter (26)

1. Loosen the mounting screws (26/1).
2. Clamp the line cutter (26/2) in a vice and
sharpen it using a file. File in one direction
only.
3. Attach the line cutter to the guard plate (26/3)
again using the mounting screws. Tighten the
mounting screws firmly.

Changing the line cutter (26)

1. Loosen the mounting screws (26/1).
2. Attach the new line cutter to guard plate
(26/3) again using the mounting screws.
Tighten the mounting screws firmly.

8.3.1

Filling saw chain oil (20)

There is no saw chain oil in the attachment on
delivery.
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the ap-
pliance. Use of the appliance without saw chain
oil leads to damage of the saw chain and the
guide rail.
■
Never operate the appliance without saw
chain oil.
■
Before starting work, fill the saw chain oil in
the oil tank and check the oil level during the
work.
■
At least before starting work each time, check
that the chain lubrication is working.
The service life and cutting performance of the
saw chain depend on optimum lubrication. The
saw chain has oil applied to it automatically
during 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
damage. The use of mineral oil for the chain lu-
brication leads to serious environmental damage.
■
Never use mineral oil, but only biologically
degradable saw chain oil.
44
Each time before starting work, check the oil level
and replenish the saw chain oil if necessary:
1. Check the oil level in the oil tank. It must al-
ways be possible to see oil. The minimum and
the maximum oil level must not be exceeded.
2. Place and hold the pole-mounted pruner hori-
zontal on a firm surface.
3. Clean the appliance around the oil tank cap
(20/1).
4. Unscrew the oil tank cap (20/1).
5. Fill the oil tank with biologically degradable
saw chain oil. Do not allow it to overrun.
■
Use a funnel for easier filling.
■
Do not allow any dirt to get into the oil tank.
6. Screw down the oil tank cap (20/1) again.
8.3.2 Regulating and checking the chain
lubrication
Regulating the chain lubrication
The chain lubrication is set at the factory. The oil
quantity may vary depending on the wood types
and working techniques, and must be corrected.
1. Regulate the chain lubrication using the set-
screw that is located under the machine.
■
Turning anticlockwise = Large amount of oil
(MAX)
■
Turning clockwise = Small amount of oil
(MIN)
Checking the chain lubrication
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the ap-
pliance. Ground contact invariably leads to blunt-
ing of the saw chain.
■
Do not make contact with the ground with the
chain and maintain a safety distance of 20 cm.
1. Switch on the appliance.
2. Hold the tip of the guide rail in the direction of
a cardboard box or paper on the ground.
■
If the check produces a growing trace of
oil, this indicates the automatic oiling
function is operating correctly.
■
If there is no trace of oil even though the oil
tank is full: Clean the oil entry hole in the
appliance and the groove of the guide rail.
If this is not successful, please contact our cus-
tomer service.
