IMPORTANT!
Danger of environmental damage
The use of mineral oil for the chain lubri-
cation leads to serious environmental
damage.
■
Never use mineral oil, but only bio-
logically degradable saw chain oil.
Do not use contaminated oil, since this can lead
to blockage of the filter in the tank and irreparable
damage to the oil pump.
Using high-quality oil is a decisive factor in
achieving effective lubrication for the cutting ele-
ments; used or low-quality oil impairs lubrication
and reduces the service life of the sawing chain
and guide rail.
It is recommended that you fill the oil tank fully
every time you refuel (by means of a funnel). The
capacity of the oil tank is designed so that the fu-
el will run out before the oil does, thereby guaran-
teeing that the machine will not be operated with-
out lubricant.
5.3 Filling with service products (07)
DANGER!
Risk of explosion and fire
An escaping petrol/air mixture can cause
an explosive atmosphere. Deflagration,
explosion and fire can lead to serious
and even fatal injuries if fuel is not han-
dled properly.
■
Do not smoke when dealing with
petrol.
■
Only handle petrol out of doors and
never in enclosed spaces.
■
It is essential to heed the code of
conduct stated below.
Filling with fuel
1. Switch off the engine and pull the protective
cover over the sawing chain.
2. Clean the tank cap (07/1) and the surround-
ing area so that no dirt will drop into the tank.
3. Open the tank cap (07/1) carefully because
pressure may have built up inside.
4. Pour in the fuel using a funnel.
5. Put the filler cap on the fuel tank and screw it
on tightly.
6. Clean up any spilled fuel on the ground and
the device.
7. Only start the device again after the fuel va-
pours have evaporated.
Filling saw chain oil
1. Switch off the engine and pull the protective
cover over the sawing chain.
2. Clean the oil tank cap (07/2) and the sur-
rounding area so that no dirt falls into the
tank.
3. Unscrew the oil tank cap (07/2).
4. Fill the saw chain oil using a funnel.
5. Put the oil tank cap back on the tank and
screw it on tightly.
6. Clean up any spilled saw chain oil on the
ground and the device.
5.4 Check the chain tension (06, 08)
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury and danger of
extremely severe injury.
Danger of fatal injury and danger of ex-
tremely severe injury when the engine is
switched on.
■
Carry out all work with the engine
switched off.
The tension is correct if the links do not come out
of the guide (08/1) when you lift the chain in the
middle of the guide rail, but the saw chain can
still be turned.
Tightening the saw chain
1. Loosen the hexagonal nuts (06/2) of the
sprocket guard (06/1) with the supplied com-
bination wrench.
2. Turn the adjusting screw (06/3) of the chain
tensioner until the saw chain is correctly ten-
sioned.
3. Tighten the hexagonal nuts (06/2).
