3. To tension the saw chain, turn the
screw (11) for the chain quick-
tensioning system in
clockwise
direction
.
To loosen the tension, turn the
screw (11) in
counter-clock-
wise direction

4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (10)
again (

With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.
Chain lubrication
The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If the cordless chainsaw
is used with too little oil, the cut-
ting performance and lifespan of
the saw chain will decrease as the
chain will become blunt more quick-
ly. You can identify a case of too
little oil where smoke development
or discoloration of the rail occurs.
The chainsaw is equipped with an auto-
matic oiling system. As soon as the motor
is speeded up, the oil also fl ows faster to
the chain bar (8).
Switch off the device and remove
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil fi ll level and regularly top
up with oil (13).
• Use bio-oil; this product contains ad-
ditives that reduce wear and tear and
Tensioning the saw chain
Regularly tightening the saw chain pro-
vides safety for the user and reduces and/
or prevents wear and chain damages.
Before the start of work and in approx. 10
minute intervals, we recommend the user to
examine the chain tension and correct it, if
necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
“expansions” can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the
chain when it is hot because it
shrinks slightly once it has cooled
down. In case of non-observance,
this can lead to damages on the
guide rail or the engine because
now the chain is too taut on the
blade. Chain tension and chain lu-
brication have a signifi cant impact
on the service life of the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand. When the saw chain is tensioned
with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between
the saw chain and the guide rail may not
be more than 2 mm.
