5 START-UP
DANGER! Danger of fatal injury and dan-
ger of extremely severe injury. Lack of knowl-
edge of the safety instructions and operating in-
structions can lead to extremely serious and even
fatal injury.
■
Read and follow all safety instructions and in-
structions for use in these operating instruc-
tions as well the operating instructions which
are referred to before you start using the
chain saw.
WARNING! Danger of serious injury. Seri-
ous injury can be caused if there are damaged
components on the chain saw.
■
Before each use, perform a visual inspection
in order to check that the chain saw is com-
plete and does not contain damaged or worn
components. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
5.1 Charging the rechargeable battery
Observe the temperature range for charging, see
technical data.
NOTE For detailed information, see the sep-
arate operating instructions for the rechargeable
battery and the charger:
■
Operating manual 443130: Rechargeable

Operating manual 443131: Chargers
5.2 Fitting and removing the rechargeable
battery (06)
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the re-
chargeable battery. If the rechargeable battery
is left in the appliance after use, it may damage
the rechargeable battery.
■
Immediately after use, pull the rechargeable
battery out of the appliance and store in a
frost-protected area.
■
Only insert the rechargeable battery in the
appliance immediately before starting work.
Inserting the rechargeable battery
1. Push the rechargeable battery (06/1) into the
chain saw from the rear until it engages (06/
a).
Removing the rechargeable battery
1. Press and hold the unlock button (06/2) on
the rechargeable battery.
2. Pulling out the rechargeable battery (06/b).
5.3 Filling saw chain oil (07)
IMPORTANT! Danger of damaging the chain
saw. The chain saw will be severely damaged if
there is too little or even no saw chain oil in the
tank or if it has dried/is sticky. Dried/sticky saw
chain oil can lead to damage to oil-channelling
components and the oil pump. Damage also oc-
curs if used oil is used. The use of used oil leads
to environmental damage!
■
For start-up work, fill saw chain oil into the
tank.
■
Do not use any used oil!
■
Each time before changing the rechargeable
battery at the latest, fill the tank with saw
chain oil again.
The saw chain and chain bar are continuously
supplied with oil during operation by means of an
automatic oiler system. The saw chain oil pro-
tects against corrosion and premature wear.
