
The tension of the saw chain is important for your safety and for the
function of the equipment. A correctly tensioned saw chain increas-
es the durability of your gardening tool.

Check the chain tension before each use of the gardening tool.

The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be pulled around the
blade by hand without sagging (wear protective gloves).

When the saw chain is pulled with a tensile force of 10 N (approx.
1 kg), the distance between saw chain and guide bar should be not
more than 4 mm.

For new saw chains, the chain tension must be re-adjusted again
after a short time of operation.
Filling Chain Oil
1. Unscrew the cap of the oil
tank (5) and fill in suitable
chain oil.
2. Wipe the tank clean and
close the oil tank with the
cap.
Hints:

Do not operate the pole pruner without sufficient chain lubrication.
Insufficient lubrication will shorten the service life of the saw chain
and the guide bar.

The gardening tool is equipped with automatic oiling mechanism.
As soon as the motor is running, the oil flows to the guide bar.
Regularly check the oil level in the tank and re-fill with oil in time.

Only use biodegradable chain oil (e.g. Westfalia Biological
Adhesive, article number 76 63 78). Pour the chain oil into the oil
tank (8). Do not use motor oil or other mineral oils.

Clean the filler cap and the area around it to avoid contaminating
the oil tank.
