OPERATION
To switch on:
■ Make sure chain is tensioned correctly according to instructions on page 24-25.
■ Ensure the battery pack is sufficiently charged and inserted correctly and that the guide bar
cover is removed before starting the chain saw.
■ Check that there is sufficient chain oil in the tank.
■ Release the chain brake handle by pulling the chain brake handle back against the front handle
as shown in Fig. 10.
■ Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear handle and the left
hand on the front handle. Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles (Fig. 13).
■ To switch on, press the lock-off switch with the right thumb and then press the On/Off switch
until the chain saw runs at the fastest speed. Then release the lock-off switch (Fig. 14).
To switch off:
■ Release the On/Off switch. There is no continuous operation mode.
■ Remove the battery pack if the chain saw is not going to be used immediately.
Checking the Oil Supply
Check the chain lubrication before each use.
NOTE:
This product is equipped with an automatic oiling system. The oiling system automatically
delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain.
Checking the lubrication requires starting the chain saw. Before checking, the product must
be fully assembled and all instructions must have been read.
■ Make sure the guide bar and the saw chain are in place when you check the oil delivery.
■ Switch on the chain saw. Keep the chain saw running and check: 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 contact
the After Sales Helpline.
Checking the Chain Brake Handle
■ Place the chain saw onto a solid, flat surface. It must not contact any objects.
■ Release the chain brake handle by pulling it back against the front handle.
■ Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear handle and the left
hand on the front handle. Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles.
■ Turn on the chain saw.
The chain saw cannot be turned on if the chain brake has engaged. Do not employ the chain brake
in order to start the chain saw or to switch it off.
