Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig.A)
Auto Oiling System
This pruner is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps
the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
1. The oil level indicator
10
shows the level of the oil in the
pruner. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, remove
the battery from the pruner and refill the oil tank with the
correct type of oil.
2. Always empty oil tank when finishedcutting.
3. Always empty oil tank before storing this unit.
NOTE: Do not operate this pruner without oil.
NOTE: Always use a high-quality, biodegradable bar and chain
oil for proper saw chain and bar lubrication. When pruning
trees, vegetable-based bar and chain oil is recommended, as
mineral-based oils may harm living trees. Never use dirty, used,
or contaminated oil. Doing so may damage the tool.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
1. Unscrew counterclockwise and then remove the oil cap
11
.
Fill the reservoir with the recommended bar and chain
oil until the oil level has reached the top of the oil level
indicator
10
.
2. Refit the oil cap and tightenclockwise.
3. Periodically switch the pruner off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properlyoiled.

Bar Tip Guard (Fig.A)

WARNING: Never operate the pruner without the
bar tip guard properly mounted on the guide bar to
prevent rotational kickback.
The bar tip guard

reduces the chance of the saw chain
5
at the end of the guide bar
4
from coming into contact with
objects which may cause the bar and saw chain to kickback
towards the operator. In addition to reducing the chance of
kickback, the bar tip guard
6
will reduce the chance of the
chain from touching the ground.
