If the chain brake does not func-
tion correctly, you must not use
the electric chainsaw. A slack
saw chain leads to danger of in-
jury.
Return the electric chainsaw to
our Service-Center for repair.
Checking the chain lubrication
Check the oil level and the chain lubrica-
tion system before commencement of
work.
• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw
is working trouble-free.
If no oil trace can be seen clean
the oil passages or turn the chain-
saw to our Service-Center for re-
pair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (27), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation. Use
a brush or a cloth to help remove
residues from the oil passage.
Changing the saw bar
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from
the mains ( 12).
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (7) and the
chain adjustment ring (8)
in counter-
clockwise direction
in order to loos-
en the chain tension and to remove
the sprocket chain wheel cover (9).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw
chain (5). To remove the guide bar (4),
raise it to an angle of approx. 45 de-
grees. This will make it easier to take
the saw chain (5) off the sprocket
(24).
5. Replace the blade and install the
blade and chain as described un-
der “Installing the sawing chain and
blade”.
Sawing techniques
General
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does
not become jammed in the wood. Do
not let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sowing work on hillsides, always
stand in the area above the log.
To keep total control while sawing
through, reduce the pressure at the
end of the cut without loosening your
grip on the handles of the electric
chain saw. Make sure the saw chain
does not touch the ground. After fin
-
ishing the cut, wait until the electric
chain saw comes to a halt before
removing it. Always shut off the en
-
gine of the electric chain saw before
switching between trees.
