CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning: Always take the battery out of the equipment before starting any cleaning or maintenance work.
General information on cleaning
• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use any tools for cleaning.
• Keep the handles free of oil so that you can maintain a firm grip.
• Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.
• Use a brush to remove deposits from the safety guards.
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air
at low pressure.
• It is recommended to clean the equipment immediately each time after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents as these may be aggressive to the plastic parts
in the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the equipment. The penetration of water into an electric power tool increases the risk
of electric shock.
General information on maintenance
• There are no other parts inside the equipment which require maintenance.
Replacing the chain and guide bar
• The guide bar needs to be replaced if the guide groove is worn.
Checking the automatic chain lubrication
• The operation of the automatic chain lubrication system should be checked on a regular basis in order to guard against overheating and the damage that can
cause to the guide bar and to the chain.
• Point the tip of the guide bar at a smooth surface and allow the power tool to run. If you see a growing oil stain on the smooth surface, the automatic chain
lubrication system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the corresponding instructions in the ''Troubleshooting'' section.
Warning: Do not actually touch the surface with the tip of the guide bar when performing this test. Keep a safe distance of approximately 20 cm.
Sharpening the chain
• Working effectively with the power tool is possible only if the chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback.
• Do not attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience.
STORAGE
• Store the equipment and its accessories out of children's reach in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is
between 5°C and 30°C.
• Keep the power tool in its original packaging.
