Changing the saw chain
• Only handle the saw chain with gloves and
remove the battery first!
• Inspect the saw chain and the guide bar for
damage or signs of wear.
• Never put a new chain on a worn guide bar.
• Let each new saw chain break-in first!
• When attaching the saw chain, observe the
running direction!
Kick-back
• The shape of the riving knife largely elimi-
nates the risk of kick-back.
• The saw is optimally protected against kick-
back by the riving knife with tip protection.
Never remove the riving knife. There is a risk
of injury!
Sharpen the saw hain
• The saw teeth must be sharpened if the saw-
dust becomes powdery, if additional force is
required for the incision, if a straight incision
is no longer possible or if the vibrations be-
come stronger.
• Blunt saw chains should be re-sharpened pro-
fessionally.
• Replace the saw chain if there is consider-
able damage that cannot be repaired by fil-
ing.
Cleaning the guide bar
• Thoroughly clean the notch of the guide bar.
• Replace the guide bar if the guide groove is
damaged or worn and the saw chain has too
much lateral space.
• Tighten all accessible screws, if necessary.

Battery disposal
• Run the motor until the battery is completely
discharged.
• Clean the sprocket area with a brush or com-
pressed air.
• Use a cloth, a paintbrush or a brush to re-
move dust and wood splinters. Always keep
the ventilation slots cleans and free from ob-
structions.
• Never use benzene or similar aggressive
chemicals or abrasives for cleaning, in order
not to damage the garden pruner.
• From time to time check that all screws are
firmly secured.
• Store the garden pruner and the accessory
indoors in a dry place that is protected from
dust, dirt and extreme temperatures.
• Store the garden pruner out of reach of chil-
dren and persons in need of supervision.
