Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the 18V POWER FOR ALL battery is charged.
- Mount the chain and bar using the SDS system. Loosen the knob, fit the bar and chain, then re-tighten and tension the chain using the knob until it is snug but can still be pulled by hand.
- Fill the chain oil reservoir with appropriate chainsaw oil.
- Insert the charged battery.
Compatibility:
This tool is part of the Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL system. The included battery and charger are compatible with over 150 other tools from Bosch (Green line), Gardena, Husqvarna, Steinel, and more. Always ensure you are using the correct voltage battery (18V).
Care:
- Chain Lubrication: Regularly check and refill the chain oil reservoir. Automatic lubrication is provided, but manual topping up is essential.
- Chain Tension: Check chain tension periodically and adjust as needed using the SDS system. A loose chain can derail, and a too-tight chain can cause excessive wear.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the saw, especially the bar and chain, to remove wood debris and sap. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the tool is unplugged and the battery is removed before cleaning.
- Storage: Store the saw in a dry, protected place, ideally in its original packaging or a dedicated tool bag. Store batteries separately in a cool, dry environment.
