FILLING THE OIL TANK (FIG.1 NO.2)
The chainsaw must never be operated without chain oil as this will cause damage to the
chain, bar, and motor. No claims under warranty can be accepted if damage occurs due to
the chainsaw being operated without chain oil.
Preferably use biologically-based chainsaw oil such as Lawn Star chain lube stock code
90-30000, i.e. oil which is biologically decomposable. NOTE: Do not use waste or recycled
oil that can cause damage to the oil pump.
Before filling the oil tank, remove the mains plug.
Unscrew the cap (Fig.1 No.2) and fill approximately
200ml oil
into the tank using a funnel
and replace the cap securely.
The oil level can be seen through the oil indicator window (Fig.1 No15).
Remove the chain oil from the oil tank if the chainsaw is not used for a long period.
The oil tank should be emptied before the chainsaw is transported.
After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on an absorbent surface.
BEFORE USING THE CHAINSAW
Before proceeding to your job, read “IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
PERSONAL SAFETY
” section.
Always follow the safety procedures and guidelines.
Check chainsaw for damage before starting work.
Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain is too loose, it may come off during use
and lead to injuries. The chain must be replaced immediately if it is damaged.
Check the sharpness of the chain every time before using the chainsaw. A new chain must
be used if the chain is blunt.
It is recommended to first practice sawing on smaller easier-to-cut logs. This helps to get
accustomed to the chainsaw.
CONNECTING THE CHAINSAW TO POWER (Fig.3)
To prevent electrical shock hazards, use only extension cables suitable for
outdoor use, with splash-proof socket outlets, preferably protected by sensitive
Residual Current Device (RCD) with tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Use
2-core insulated cable, minimum (HO5VV-F) 2x1.0mm, in turn connected to a
suitable mains connection plug. All components should meet your national, IEC or
EN specifications. If the connection cable of this device is damaged it must be
replaced by an authorised service agent specified by the manufacturer.
This chainsaw is fitted with a strain-relief mechanism to provide extra safety and to prevent
accidental disconnection. First connect the supply plug to the extension cable, then double over
the extension cable into a loop and push this through the cable restraint. Hook the loop into the
strain-relief mechanism on the underside of the handle as shown in Figure 10.
SWITCHING ON
Using your thumb press in the “Lock-off” button (Fig.12) situated on the left side of the handle,
then activate the switch.
To switch off the chainsaw, release the switch.
Attention: The chain will immediately run at high speed when switched on. When
putting the saw down, make sure that the chain does not touch any stones, soil or
metal objects.
