Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the garden product itself (e. g.
u
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, remove the battery from the
garden product. There is danger of injury when uninten-
tionally actuating the On/Off switch.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the fol-
lowing maintenance regularly.
For safe and proper working, always keep the power tool
and its ventilation slots clean. Regulary check the pruner saw
for obvious defects such as loose or damaged saw chain and
chain bar and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly
fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before
using.
After Use/Storage
Place the chain cover (13) on the chain bar (15) when not
using the pruner saw, in order to prevent injury. The saw
chain (14) can become blunt because of unwanted hits/
scratches.
Clean the chain and chain bar before storing the product for
an extended period of time to prevent the parts from seizing.
Clean the moulded plastic housing of the pruner saw using a
soft brush and clean cloth. Do not use water, solvents or pol-
ishes. Remove all debris, especially from the motor cooling
vents. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean the pruner
saw.
Remove the cover (11), the chain bar (15) and the saw
chain (14) and clean them using a brush to remove residue.
Clean the area under the cover (11), the drive sprocket (24)
