Restart Protection; Transportation And Storage - Milwaukee M12 FHS Notice Originale

Note Do not over-tension the chain - excess tension will cause
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the chain and could
damage the bar. New chains could stretch and loosen during initial
use. Remove battery pack and check chain tension frequently
during the rst two hours of use. The temperature of the chain
increases during normal operation causing the chain to stretch.
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as required. A chain
tensioned while warm may be too tight upon cooling. Make sure
that the chain tension is correctly adjusted as speci ed in these
instructions.
Adding the chain lubricating oil
WARNING! Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw
chain is running without lubricant, the guide bar and the
saw chain can be damaged. It is essential to frequently
check the oil level in the oil level gauge and before starting
to use the pruning saw.
Keep the reservoir more than ¼ full to ensure su cient oil is
available for the job.
Note It is recommended to use a vegetable based chain oil when
pruning trees. Mineral oil may harm trees. Never use waste oil
automotive oil, or very thick oils. These could damage the pruning
GB
saw. Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent contamination.
1. Unscrew and remove the cap from the oil tank.
2. Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level gauge.
3. Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up. Wipe away any spillage.
Holding the pruning saw
Always hold the pruning saw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Grip both handles
with the thumbs and ngers encircling the handles.
Starting the pruning saw
Before starting the pruning saw, you should install the battery pack
in the pruning saw.

restart protection

The power tool is supplied with a restart protection.
This prevents the switched-on power tool from starting by itself
when the battery pack is inserted and from restarting after a
switch-o function of the battery pack.
If the guide bar is outside of the wood switch o the machine and
switch it back on again in order to continue to work.
If the guide bar is inside of the wood wait until the saw chain comes
to a complete stop. Make sure that the switch is in the o position.
Remove the battery pack from the machine and the guide bar from
the cut. Insert the battery pack and then switch the machine back
on again, in order to continue to work.
