��
machine for a longer period, you should re-
move 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 commencing 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!). An track of oil will show you that the
chain is sufficiently lubricated.
�
After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on
some absorbing surface. The oil spread on
the blade, chain and drive may lead to some
further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain
(Fig. 3)
Caution! Risk of injury! Always use safe-
ty gloves when assembling the chain!
For assembling the bar and chain with
this chain saw no tools are required!
�
Put the chain saw on a stable rest.
�
Loosen the T-screw 7 turning it clockwise.
�
Remove the gear cover 8.
�
Put the chain on the bar considering the
running direction of the chain.
The cutting
teeth on the upper side of the bar must
point in forward direction
(see Fig. 4).
�
Put the free end of the chain over the chain
driving wheel (B).
�
Place the bar such that the long hole in the
bar is placed exactly on the guiding element
in the bar seat.
�
Take care that the chain tensioning bolt (A) is
seated exactly in the small opening in the bar
(Fig. 3). It must be visible through the opening.
If necessary, adjust the knurling wheel of the
chain tensioning device (16) in both direc-
tions until the chain tensioning bolt is seated
in the opening in the bar.
�
Check whether all chain links are seated
exactly in the bar’s groove and the chain is
lead around the chain driving wheel correctly.
�
Put the gear cover 8 back on and push it in
place.
�
Moderately tighten the T-screw 7 by turning it
clockwise.
�
Tension the chain. To do so turn the knurling
wheel upwards (+ direction of arrow). The chain
should be tensioned such that it can be lifted
by about 3 mm in the middle of the bar (Fig. 4).
To decrease the chain tension turn the knurl-
ing wheel downwards (– direction of arrow).
�
Finally, tighten the T-screw 7 well by hand.
The tension in the chain has a major effect on
the service life of the cutting fittings, and
must therefore be checked regularly. When
the chain warms up to operating temperature
it will expand and must be retightened. A new
saw chain will have to be tightened more
frequently until it has reached its full length.
Caution: During the running-in period,
the chain must be more frequently tigh-
tened. The chain must be immediately
retightened if it shakes or leaves the grove!
To tension the chain slightly loosen the T-screw 7.
Then turn the knurling wheel upwards (+ direc-
tion of arrow). Tension the chain such that it can
be lifted by about 3mm in the middle of the bar,
as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Connecting the chainsaw (Fig. 5)
We recommend to operate the chain saw in
connection with a residual current operated
device with a maximum breaking current of
30 mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a
mains supply with a system impedance Z
max
at
the point of connection (house service connec-
tion) of max. 0.4 Ohm. The user must ensure
that the device is only operated on an electricity
supply system meeting these requirements. If
required, system impedance data may be ob-
tained from the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are
approved for outdoor use and are not
lighter than rubbersheathed cables of
type H07 RN-F according to DIN/VDE 0282
with a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
2
. The
cords must be splash-proof. If the connec-
tion cable of this device should be damaged
it must be replaced by a workshop named by
the manufacturer only as this work requires
the use of special tools. Mobile devices for
outdoor use should be connected over a
residual current operated device.
This chainsaw is fitted with a strain-relief device
to provide extra safety for the connection. First
connect the device plug with the connection line.
Then form the connection line into a tight loop
and push this through the safety web on the
lower side of the machine. Hang the loop into
the hook as shown in Fig. 5. The plug connec-
tion is now secure against automatic release.
4. Switching on (Fig. 2)
�
Press with your thumbs the stopping button 15
on the left side of the rear handle and then
the operating switch 9.
