Frequently Asked Questions - PP400L Greencut

How to start the PP400L pruner?

To start, first install the charged battery. Press the safety lock (unlock button) with your thumb, then press the throttle trigger. The trigger locks in position once engaged.

How to install the chain and guide bar?

Remove the sprocket cover by unscrewing the tensioner lock. Place the guide bar and wrap the chain around the sprocket making sure the teeth are oriented counterclockwise. Replace the cover, turn the tension knob to adjust tension, then tighten the nuts.

What battery can I use with the PP400L?

Compatible batteries are models BT402L (40 V, 2 Ah) and BT404L (40 V, 4 Ah). Use exclusively the CBT400L charger.

How to charge the battery?

Insert the battery into the CBT400L charger until the LED lights up. Plug the charger into a mains outlet. Charging should be done at room temperature (between 0 °C and 40 °C). Never charge outdoors.

What to do if the pruner does not start?

Check that the battery is properly inserted and charged. Make sure the safety lock is pressed before pressing the trigger. If the problem persists, contact the Official Technical Service.

How to maintain the chain?

Regularly clean the guide bar rails with a wire brush to remove debris. Lubricate the chain with high-quality oil (SAE30 in summer, SAE10 in winter). Check chain tension before each use.

What oil to use for chain lubrication?

Use a high-quality professional lubricating oil. In summer, use SAE30 oil and in winter or for resinous woods, use SAE10. Do not use used oil.

How to tension the chain?

Loosen the sprocket cover nuts. Turn the tension knob clockwise to tension the chain. The chain should be tight but able to rotate freely. Tighten the nuts once the tension is correct.

Can I use the pruner in the rain?

No, never expose the machine to rain or moisture. Use it only in dry weather. Moisture can damage electrical components and pose a risk of electric shock.

Where to find spare parts?

Contact the Official Technical Service of Greencut for purchasing spare parts and accessories. Only use original parts to ensure safety and proper operation.

MOWER LUBRICATION

• Good lubrication can reduce the frictional force between the saw and the bar and thus extend the service life of your machine.
• Use a high quality professional lubricating oil.
• Do not use old or unknown oil to avoid causing a malfunction.
• In case of emergency, allow dynamo to be used to replace.
• Use Sae30 in summer.
• Use Sae10 in winter or when using the pruner to prune trees with a lot of resin.

PRODUCT USE

START UP

Before starting operation, the battery must be installed in the machine.

To start the machine:

1. Press the trigger release button with your thumb.
2. Pull the throttle trigger.

Once the throttle trigger is pulled, the trigger release is fixed and you can release it.

MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly.

ATTENTION: Use only original parts, accessories and manufacturer's couplings. Failure to do so may result in injury, tool malfunction and may void the warranty.

ATTENTION: Repairs require extreme care and knowledge and should only be carried out by a qualified technician. For repairs, we suggest that you return the product to the nearest authorized service center for repair. When carrying out repairs, only use identical spare parts.

ATTENTION: Make sure the engine is completely shut down before performing any maintenance or repair. This will eliminate any potential risk.

• You can make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, please contact the Official Technical Service.
- Before any maintenance or adjustment, deactivate the machine by removing the battery.
- After extending the new cutting line or cleaning, checking the blade, always return the product to its normal operating position before starting any operation.
• After each use, clean the product with a soft, dry cloth.
- Check all nuts, bolts and screws at frequent intervals to ensure that the product is in good working condition. Any damaged parts must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

MAINTENANCE OF THE GUIDE BAR

ATTENTION: Proper maintenance of the guide bar is essential for the good performance of your tool.

Incorrect placement and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge adjustments cause most guide bar problems, resulting in uneven wear of the bar. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which can cause the chain to make noise and difficulty in making straight cuts. Insufficient lubrication of the guide bar and operation of the saw with a chain that is too tight will contribute to rapid wear of the bar. To help minimize bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar is recommended.

BAR WEAR

Rotate the guide bar frequently at regular intervals (such as after 5 hours of use) to ensure even wear on the top and bottom of the bar.

BAR GROOVES

The bar grooves (or the rails that support and transport the chain) should be cleaned if the tool has been heavily used or if the saw chain appears dirty. The rails should be cleaned each time the chain is removed from the saw.

TO CLEAN THE GUIDE BAR RAILS

1. Remove the sprocket cover, bar and chain. See Replacing / Installing the Saw Chain.
2. Use a screwdriver, spatula, wire brush, or similar instrument to clean debris from the rails on the guide bar. This will keep the oil lines open to provide proper lubrication to the bar and chain.

1. Reinstall the bar, chain and bar bolt retaining nuts. See Replace saw chain / Installation.

OIL LINES

The oil lines in the bar pad must be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. This can be done using a soft wire small enough to be inserted into the oil drain hole.
