7.3 Tightening the saw chain (05, 07)
NOTE
The saw chain has been tensioned cor-
rectly when:
■
It is in contact with the underside of
the chain bar and can be pulled
through by hand.
■
It can be lifted by 3 – 4 mm in the
middle of the chain bar.
1. Check the seat of the saw chain so that it sits
correctly on the chain sprocket and in the
chain bar.
2. Turn the rotating ring (05/4) towards the
cover (05/3) so that the two triangles face
each other (05/B).
3. Put on the cover (07/1) and turn the central
lock (07/2) clockwise. Do not tighten the cent-
ral lock fully or turn back by one turn.
4. Turn the rotating ring (07/3) clockwise until
the saw chain has been tensioned correctly
as described above.
5. Turn the central lock (07/2) clockwise until it

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury and danger of
extremely severe injury.
Lack of knowledge of the safety instruc-
tions and operating instructions can lead
to extremely serious and even fatal in-
jury.
■
Read and follow all safety instruc-
tions and instructions for use in these
operating instructions as well the op-
erating instructions which are re-
ferred to before you start using the
chain saw.
WARNING!
Danger of serious injury.
Serious injury can be caused if there are
damaged components on the chain saw.
■
Before each use, perform a visual in-
spection in order to check that the
chain saw is complete and does not
contain damaged or worn compon-
ents. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
8.1 Charging the rechargeable battery (02)
The rechargeable battery is partially charged.
Fully charge the rechargeable battery before us-
ing it for the first time. The rechargeable battery
can be charged in any charge status. Interrupting
charging does not damage the rechargeable bat-
tery.
NOTE
For detailed information, heed the separ-
ate operating instructions for the re-
chargeable battery and for the charging
unit.
8.2 Inserting the rechargeable battery (03/A)
1. Push the rechargeable battery (03/1) into the
rechargeable battery slot (03/2) from above
until it engages.

1. Press and hold the unlock button (03/3) on
the rechargeable battery (03/1).
2. Pull out the rechargeable battery (03/1).
8.4 Checking the chain tension
Frequently check the chain tension, because new
saw chains stretch.
At operating temperature, the saw chain
stretches and hangs down.
NOTE
The saw chain has been tensioned cor-
rectly when:
■
It is in contact with the underside of
the chain bar and can be pulled
through by hand.
■
It can be lifted by 3 – 4 mm in the
middle of the chain bar.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury due to the saw chain
jumping off!
An insufficiently tensioned saw chain can
jump off during operation and lead to in-
jury.
■
Frequently check the chain tension.
The chain tension is too low if the
drive links come out of the groove on
the underside of the chain bar.
■
Re-tension the saw chain properly if
the chain tension is too low.
