Removing/inserting the
rechargeable battery
1. To insert the batteries (13) into the de-
vice, push the batteries along the guide
rails into the device. You will hear
them click into place.
2. To remove the batteries (13) from the
device, press the release button
(13a) on the batteries and pull the bat-
teries out.
Operating
Switch on the chainsaw only when
chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly
assembled.
Make sure you have a secure
stance. Before starting, ensure that
the electric chainsaw is in contact
with no objects.
Never operate the device without the
front cut protection. Risk of injury!
Switching on
1. Place the battery (13) into the device
(see “Inserting/removing the recharge-
able battery”).
2. Check the load status of the recharge-
able battery before starting.
3. Hold the device fi rmly with both hands,
with your right hand on the handle
(5) and left hand on the grip (2). Your
thumb and fi ngers must tightly clasp the
handle (5). Never use the device one-
handed. Risk of injury!
4. To turn on, press the switch lock (3)
with your thumb or index fi nger and
then press the on/off switch (4); the
device will run at maximum speed. Re-
lease the switch lock (3).
“expansions” can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the chain
when it is hot because it shrinks slight-
ly 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 lubrication 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.
10 min
Switch off the device and remove
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
1. Loosen the mounting screw (9) of
the sprocket cover (8)
( ).
2. The spring on the chain tension-
er pin (19) automatically ensures
a suffi cient tension.
3. Tighten the mounting screw (9) of
the sprocket cover (8) again
( ).
The chain tension of a new saw
chain must be readjusted after a
maximum of 5 cuts.
