8.2 Engine oill
m
WARNING
The engine does not come with oil in it. There-
fore, ensure that you add 0,1 liters of oil before
starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30
/ 10W30). The oil level in the engine must be
checked each time before mowing (see fig. P).
Checking the oil level
m
CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too lit-
tle oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine.
Use only SAE30 / 10W30 engine oil.
• Set the chainsaw down on a level and stable sur-
face.
• Open the engine oil tank cap (19) and check the
oil level.
• If the oil level is more than 5 mm below the screw
thread, please fill the oil tank (see fig. P) .
8.2 Fuel
Recommended fuels.
Normal petrol / Lead free max. 10% bioethanol
m
WARNING
Avoid direct skin contact with fuel and inhalation of
fuel vapours.
Only fill the fuel when the engine is switched off and
has cooled down. There is a risk of fire!
• Always clean the area around the fuel tank cap (13)
before filling to prevent dirt from falling into the fuel
tank. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for this purpose.
• Lay the device on its side with the fuel tank cap (13)
facing upwards.
• Turn the fuel tank cap (13) anti-clockwise and open
it. The fuel tank cap (13) is connected to an anti-loss
device in the fuel tank and thus cannot fall off.
• Pour the fuel mixture into the fuel tank. Do not spill
fuel when refuelling and do not fill the fuel tank to
the brim.
• Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• Turn the fuel tank cap (13) clockwise to close it.
NOTE
Also check the chain oil after each fuel fill.

chain
m
ATTENTION
Always carry out assembly with the engine switched
off.
m
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when touching the saw
chain (17). Danger of injury due to the sharp cutting
teeth!
Note
A new saw chain (17) stretches and needs to be re-
tensioned more often. Check and adjust the chain ten-
sion regularly after each cut.
Depending on wear, the guide bar (16) can be turned.
• Set the chainsaw down on a level and stable sur-
face.
• Pull the front hand guard (1) back as far as it will go
to release the chain brake (see fig. B).
• Remove the two fixing nuts (20) with the spark plug
wrench (28).
• Remove the chain cover (22).
• Slide the slotted hole of the guide bar (16) over the
two protruding pins.
• Place the saw chain (17) over the teeth of the chain
wheel (26). Insert the saw chain (17) accurately in
the direction indicated on the guide bar (16). In the
tip of the guide bar (16) there is a guide wheel into
whose teeth the saw chain (17) must be inserted.
• Pull slightly on the guide bar (16) to slightly pre-ten-
sion the saw chain (17).
• Fit the chain cover (22) back on. Make sure that the
internal chain tensioning pin (23) fits into the match -
ing hole (25) in the guide bar (16) (see fig. S). If
necessary, adjust the chain tensioning screw (21)
with the spark plug wrench / slotted screwdriver (28)
(see fig. T).
• Screw on the two fastening nuts (20) by hand. How-
ever, make sure that you do not tighten them yet.
• Use the spark plug wrench / slotted screwdriver
(28) to turn the chain tensioning screw (21) clock-
wise until the lower part of the saw chain (17) slides
into the guide bar (16). The saw chain (17) must be
in contact with the underside of the bar. When the
chain brake is released, it must be possible to pull
the saw chain (17) over the guide bar (16) by hand
(see fig. U).
Note
A new saw chain (17) stretches and needs to be re-
tensioned more often.
