Maintenance and
cleaning
Maintenance and cleaning
work must always be carried
out with the motor switched off and
the battery removed. Risk of injury!
Have any repair and maintenance
work that is not described in this
instruction manual carried out by
our specialist workshop. Only use
original spare parts. Allow the de-
vice to cool off before undertaking
any maintenance or cleaning work.
There is a danger of burns!
Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar. Risk of cuts!
Switch off the device and remove
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
Cleaning
• Clean the machine thoroughly after
every use. In this way, you extend
the life of the machine and avoid
accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free
of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the
gripping handles, where appropriate,
with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use
no solvents or petrol for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use.
Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do
not use any liquids to clean the chain.
After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with
chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slits (7) and
the surface of the machine with a
paintbrush, hand brush or dry cloth.
Do not use any liquids for cleaning.
Maintenance intervals
