Tensioning the saw chain
►
P. 4, item 6
– Tighten the fastening nut (6) until the
chain lies on the underside of the saw rail.
Letting the saw chain run in
During the run-in time, re-tension the saw
chain and rail after a maximum of 5 cuts.
Checking the tensioning of the saw
chain
The saw chain is tensioned correctly if it lies
close against the underside of the saw rail
and can be moved easily by hand.
Readjust tension of the saw chain when nec-
essary (
►
Re-tensioning the saw chain –
p. 60 ).
Checking the chain lubrication
The device may not be used without sufficient
chain lubrication. Insufficient lubrication
reduces the service life of the device.
– Check the oil quantity in the tank.
– Start the device.
– Hold the running saw chain approx. 15 cm
over a suitable surface for a time (15 s).
If there is sufficient chain lubrication, the oil
spraying off of the saw chain will form a slight
trail.
Checking the chain brake
The chain brake ensures immediate blocking
of the saw chain in case of a kickback. Before
beginning work with the device, it must be
checked to ensure that it is functioning cor-
rectly.
– Set device on the ground.
– Start the device.
– Tip the hand guard forwards. The chain
must stop immediately.
– If the chain brake is not working correctly,
contact a service partner immediately.
Filling up saw chain oil
►
P. 4, item 6
– Lay device securely with the tank
cover (2) upwards.
– Before opening, clean the tank cover and
the filler neck if necessary.
– Open flap and remove tank cover.
– Carefully fill up the saw chain oil. Do not
spill!
– Read the oil level at the inspection
glass (8). The oil stand must be placed
between
[MIN] and [MAX] .
– Attach tank cover and close flap.
– If you have spilled any saw chain oil, be
sure to wipe it up.
Operation
Safety equipment
The device has several pieces of safety
equipment which reduce the risk of injury
when working:
Claw stop
The claw stop enables the motor block to be
secured to the wood when using pull saws.
Uncontrolled kickback of the saw is thus
made more difficult. The process also exerts
pressure on the saw chain thanks to the gen-
erated leverage.
Note: When attaching the chain,
heed the correct position of the guide
groove (saw rail).
NOTICE! Environmental damage!
Since the saw chain oil can penetrate
the environment during operation,
biologically-degradable special vege-
table-based saw chain oils should be
used.
