24. Caution: Only use accessories or parts that are listed
in the operating instructions. Use of other tools and
other accessories mean safety risks for the operator.
25. Never subjekt the electrical chain saw to rain and
do not work in wet surroundings.
26. Check the chain saw for its proper operating state
before every use.Please pay special attention to the
sword and chain.
27. Check the power cable for damage or cracks every time
before you use it. Damaged cables must be replaced.
28. Always hold the chain saw with both hands while
working with it.
29. No other person may be within the working range of
the chainsaw.
30. The chain saw must be disconnected from the power
supply before you tighten the chain, exchange the
chain or carry out any other work on the saw. -
Remove the plug!
31. During work breaks put the machine down in such a
manner that nobody is at risk.
32. Always use the chain cover when transporting the
chain saw.
33. When switching on the chain saw, ensure that it is
supported well and hold it firmly. The chain and bar
must be free.
34. Before you start working ensure that you are stan-
ding firmly.
35. Remove the plug immediately if the power cable is
damaged or cut.
36. Never cut with the tip of the bar - the saw may recoil
(“kick-back”).
37. Do not use the chain saw near combustible gases or
dust - danger of explosion.
38. The chain saw may only be connected to socket outlets
with earthing contact and tested electrical installations.
We recommend the use of a residual-current-operated
circuit-breaker. The fuse must have a value of 16 A and
mustn’t be used by other consumers while working
with the chain saw.
39. The cable must be unwound completely when using an
extension lead.
40. Ensure that the power cable has no kinks and is
not damaged.
41. The chain saw may only be used in a completely
assembled state. No protective devices may be missing.
42. Switch the chain saw off immediately if you notice
any changes in the machine.
43. Always have a first-aid kit fulfilling DIN 13164 at
hand in case of accidents.
44. If the chain saw comes into contact with earth, stones,
nails or other foreign objects, remove the plug
immediately and check the chain as well as the bar.
45. Ensure that no chain oil penetrates into the earth or
sewage. Always place the chain saw on something
that will absorb any oil dripping from the bar or chain.
D) Warning to the danger of recoil (“kickback”)
46. Attention: If the tip of the bar contacts a hard
object while the motor is running, the saw may
recoil dangerously. In recoiling, the chain saw is
flung upwards at high speed towards the person
holding the chain saw.
47. Do not touch wood or branches with the bar tip.
48. If possible, use a stand.
49. Always keep an eye on the bar tip.
50. Only place a running saw on the object to be cut. Never
start the machine while the chain rests on something.
51. So called piercing cuts with the bar tip may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
E) Instructions on safe working techniques
52. Before starting to work ensure that there is sufficient
light.
53. Always maintain a normal body posture when operating
the device. Always keep your balance.
54. Do not work with your body bent forwards.
55. Ensure that you are standing securely and do not work
on snow, ice or newly-barked wood. Danger of slipping!
56. Do not work while standing on a ladder.
57. Do not use the chain saw above shoulder height.
58. Use the chain saw only to cut wood. It is absolutely
forebidden to cut plastics or minerals (gas concrete).
59. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is being cut.
60. Never climb on a tree to cut wood.
61. Watch out for splintering wood. While you are sawing
you may be injured by flying wood chips.
62. Do not use the chain saw to lever or move the wood.
63. Only cut with the lower section of the saw. The saw
will be propelled towards you if you try and cut with
the upper section of the saw.
64. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails or other
foreign objects.
Attention: The chain keeps on running for a brief
moment after the chain saw has been switched
off. Danger of injury.
Starting up
1. Filling the oil tank
(Fig. 1)
The chain saw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only biologically-based chainsaw oil, i.e.
oil which is 100% biologically decomposable.
Do not use old oil. This will damage the chainsaw and
will also lead to loss of the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 200 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (Fig. 2).
If you plan not to use the machine for a long period,
you should remo ve the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chainsaw
is transported or dispatched.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before com-
mencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting fittings
assembled and hold over a bright background at a
safe distance (Be careful not to come in contact with
the ground !). A track of oil will show you that the chain
is sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some absorbing
surface. The oil on the bar, chain and drive may lead
