OPERATION

Working with the chainsaw

Preparation

Before each use, check the following to ensure work is carried out safely.

Condition of the chainsaw

Before beginning work, continuing after a break or dropping/ potentially damaging the 
chainsaw, inspect the chainsaw in order to identify any significant damage to the housing, 
the mains cable, the saw chain and the guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.

Oil tank

Fill with oil to the required level in the oil tank. Also check whether there is sufficient oil 
available while working. Never operate the saw if there is no oil or the oil level has dropped 
below the minimum oil level mark in order to prevent damage to the chain saw. On average, 
an oil filling is sufficient for 10 minutes of operation, depending on the duration of pauses and 
the stress.

Saw chain

Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutters. The sharper the saw chain is the easier 
and more manageable the chainsaw is to operate. The same applies for the chain tension. 
Also check the chain tension at least once every 10 minutes while working in order to 
increase safety! New saw chains, in particular, tend to have a higher degree of elongation.

Protective clothing

Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate, close-fitting protective clothing, such as
chainsaw-protective pants, gloves and safety shoes.

Hearing protection and protective goggles

Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing protection and a face guard. This provides
protection against falling branches and recoiling branches.

Attach the shoulder strap (Fig. Q)

1. Disconnect the chainsaw from the power supply.
2. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap by the buckle so that the strap attachment is at 
waist level. 
4. Install the hook on the shaft bracket on the shaft. 
5. Install the hook with quick release in the suspension point.

NOTE:

 In case of emergency, you can pull out the quick release to unfasten the strap quickly, 

to remove the machine. 
6. The assembled shoulder strap.

Safe work

• In order to ensure safe work, a maximum working angle of 60° is advised.
• Never stand below the branch to be sawed.
• Exercise caution when sawing branches under tension or splintering wood.

OPERATION

Adjusting the telescope length (Fig. M)

Disconnect the chainsaw from the power supply.
Adjusting the telescope length.
1. Pull back the lock button.
2. Then rotate the collar in the direction of “    ” to loosen the telescopic pole.
3. Adjust the telescopic pole to the desired length by pulling out the telescopic pole, or

4. When the desired length is achieved, rotate the collar in the direction of “     ” to tighten the 
telescopic pole securely in place.

NOTE:

 Do not attempt to use the chainsaw at a length which does not allow you to achieve

proper footing and balance at all times.

Work head angle adjustment

1. Press the angle adjustment button and adjust the work head to the desired angle. (Fig. 
N&O)

2. Release the angle adjustment button to lock the work head in the selected position.

Connection to the mains supply

NOTE:

 In order to avoid detaching the electrical cable, always check that extension cable is 

firmly attached to the cable holder before using the machine.
1. Make a loop with the extension cable and push it into the square hole of the cable holder.
2. Place the loop of cable over the end of the cable holder and make sure that it is pulled 
tight enough to prevent it coming loose when you use the machine. 

Recommendation

Only connect the device to a power source that is protected via a residual current protective
device (RCD) with a maximum release current of 30 mA.

STARTING: (Fig. P)

1. Connect the chainsaw to power supply.
