Ozito PXCPPA-200 - Maintenance

Maintaining the guide bar
1. Remove any sawdust from the guide bar, including the groove.
Oil and sawdust combine and emit a burning smell during operation if the blade is
not regularly cleaned.
2. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease the nose sprocket at the tip of
the guide bar.
3. Check for oil leakage and loose fastenings, especially those securing the handles
and the guide bar.
4. Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Check the
guide rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and square up the rails using a
at le.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.3mm (0.050”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain
optimum performance of the saw. Signs of a
dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a round 3.96mm (5/32”) chain le. Keep the le level with
the top plate of the tooth. Always use outward strokes and maintain a 30° angle
between the chain and le. After sharpening, the cutters must all have the same width
and length.
After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to professionally sharpen your
chain. They have the special tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting angles and
depths.

5. APPLICATIONS cont.
OPERATION cont.
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING YOUR POLE
PRUNER OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR IS OFF
AND THE BATTERY REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
STARTING.
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
THE CHAIN AS IT IS VERY SHARP AND CAN CUT YOU
WHEN IT IS NOT MOVING.
• At the end of the cut, the weight
of the pruner suddenly increases
for the user, because it is no
longer supported on the branch.
There is the risk of losing control
of the pruner.
• Saw off the lower branches on
the tree rst. By doing so, it is
easier for the cut branches to fall
to the ground.
• Only pull the pruner out of the cut
with the chain running. By doing
so, you can prevent it from getting
jammed.
• Do not saw with the tip of the
guide bar. This could lead to kick
back and possible injury.
Sawing Techniques
• When removing branches, hold
the pruner at an angle ranging
from a maximum 60° to horizontal
in order to avoid being struck by a
falling branch.
