Do not use any device where the switch cannot be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired
or replaced immediately by the customer service.
Securely support the chain saw when switching it on and hold it
with both hands. Chain and guide bar must stand free.
Remove the guide bar cover.
Release the chain brake
Push the front hand guard (14) towards
the front handle.
The chain saw is ready for operation.
Switching on
The device is equipped with a safety circuitry preventing
inadvertent switching on.
Push and hold trip switch (12). Than push the On/Off
switch. Now, you can release the trip switch.
The stronger the On/Off switch is pressed the faster
the chain saw will run.
To protect the battery the device automatically
switches off at a low battery charge.
Be sure not to continue operating the On/Off switch;
this may damage the battery.
Charge the lithium-ion battery (
“Battery” operating
instructions).
Switching off
Release On/Off switch (9).
Eco-mode
The device may be operated in economy
mode or in power mode.
The device always starts in normal mode.
Setting the mode
Press the green button: The device runs in economy
mode.
The middle indicator lights up.
The battery charge will last longer.
Press the yellow button: The device runs in normal
mode.
The battery charge will not last as long.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a protective mechanism which in case
of a stroke back chain saw is initiated via the front hand
protection or after releasing the on/off switch. The saw
chain stops immediately (< 0.1 sec.).
Checking the chain brake
Check the chain brake’s proper function before each
work
start.
Start
the
engine
Hold the chain saw with both hands
Use the back of your hand to press against the front hand
guard (14).
The chain saw must stop immediately.
It is not allowed to use this chain saw without
properly working chain brake. Please contact the
manufacturer or the customer service point.
Saw chain
Before checking/clamping the saw chain
- switch off the device
- remove the battery
- In order to avoid injuries wear protective
gloves.
Check the saw chain tension
before start of work
after the first steps
during sawing regularly all 10 minutes
Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient
lubrication you can influence the durability.
Please observe the following:
a new saw chain must be reclamped more often.
in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it
expands and needs to be reclamped.
After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw
chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge
in the saw chain.
if chain flakers or comes out of the guide clamp it again
immediately.
Clamping of saw chain
Fold up the handle (3a) and loosen the mounting screw
(3). Turn the vent valve clockwise by 1-2 turns.
Turn the chain tension ring (4) stepwise clockwise until the
correct chain tension is reached
The fastening screw (3) turns with it; possibly it must
be released again during the clamping process.
The saw chain is correctly stretched when it can be lifted
in the centre of the chain guide by approx. 3
–
4 mm.
Turn the chain tension ring (4) anti-clockwise when the
saw chain is stretched too much.
Check that the chain links are positioned correctly in the
guiding groove of the guide bar.
Refasten the fastening screw with the hand
Checking the chain lubrication (oil-automatic)
Never operate the chain saw without functioning
chain lubrication.
Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by
switching on the chain saw and holding it with the spike in
direction of a carton or paper on the ground.
