experienced operator; the cutting of round wood or
logs should be trained on a log stand or similar
rack-type device first.
66. Keep the running chain saw from touching the ground
or wire fences. Do not cut thin wood or timber that
is already sawn into small pieces.
Starting up
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chain saw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only biologically-based chainsaw oil, i.e. oil
which is 100% biologically decomposable.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available everywhere at
your local specialist dealer.
Do not use old oil. This will damage the chainsaw and will
also lead to loss of the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 200 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (Fig.
2). If you plan not to use the machine for a longer period,
you should remo ve 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 com-
mencing 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 absor-
bing 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 safety 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 direc-
tion 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 directions 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 3mm in
the middle of the bar (Fig. 4). To decrease the chain
tension turn the knurling 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 tempera-
ture 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 tightened. 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 (+ direction 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 maxi-
mum breaking current of 30mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a mains supply
with a system impedance Z max at the point of connec-
tion (house service connection) 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 obtained
from the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are approved for out-
door use and are not lighter than rubber-sheathed
cables of type H07 RN-F according to DIN/VDE 0282
with a diameter of at least 1.5 sq. mm. They cords
must be splash-proof. If the connection 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. 6. The plug connection 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.
• The stopping button 15 is used for unlocking the switch-
on mechanism and does not need to be pressed again
after the device is switched on.
