Start-up

Mains connection

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the saw to the re-
levant and properly earthed plug.

Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with re-
sidual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 mA).

Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.

In case of disadvantageous power system conditions short-
term voltage reductions can occur during the starting process
of the device which can influence other devices (e.g. jittering
of a lamp). No failures are expected when the house service
connection has a continuous currect-carrying capacity grea-
ter than 100 A per phase.

Fuse protection: 16 A time-lag
Mounting of the extension cable
In order to prevent an unintended loosening of the connec-
tion assembly put the extension cable as noose through the
opening on the rear handhold and put it over the cable mounting
(19).
Switching On / Off
Make sure before each startup that the switch lock, the
On/Off switch and the chain and motor brake are working
properly
Do not use any device where the switch cannot be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired
or replaced immediately by the customer service.
Securely support the chain saw when switching it on and hold it
with both hands. Chain and guide bar must stand free.
Release the chain brake.
Push the front hand guard (13) towards
the front handle.
The chain saw is ready for operation.
Switching on
The device is equipped with a safety circuitry preventing inad-
vertent switching on.
Push and hold trip switch (11). Than push the On/Off
switch (9). Now, you can release the trip switch.
Switching off
Release On/Off switch (9).
Chain brake
The chain brake is a protective mechanism which in case
of a stroke back chain saw is initiated via the front hand
protection or after releasing the on/off switch. The saw
chain stops immediately (< 0.1 sec.).
Checking the chain brake
Check the chain brake’s proper function before each
work start.
Start the engine.
Hold the chain saw with both hands.
Use the back of your hand to press
against the front hand guard (13).
The chain saw must stop immediately.
It is not allowed to use this chain saw without
properly working chain brake. Please contact the
manufacturer or the customer service point.
Saw chain
Before checking/clamping the saw chain
- switch off the device
- apply the chain brake.
- pull out main plug
- in order to avoid injuries wear protective
gloves.
Check the saw chain tension before

start of work

after the first steps

during sawing regularly all 10 minutes

Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient
lubrication you can influence the durability.

Please observe the following:

a new saw chain must be reclamped more often until it has
elongated.

in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it ex-
pands and needs to be reclamped.
After finishing the sawing works release tension of
saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would
emerge in the saw chain.

if chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again
immediately.
Clamping of saw chain
Loosen the fastening screw (3) 1 – 2 revolutions anti-
clockwise.
Turn the chain tension ring (4) clockwise until the correct
chain tension is reached.

The fastening screw (3) turns with it; possibly it must
be released again during the clamping process.
The saw chain is correctly clamped when it can be lifted in
the centre of the guide bar by appr. 3 – 4 mm.
Turn the chain tension ring (4) anti-clockwise when the
saw chain is clamped to much.
Check wether the chain links are positioned correctly in
the guide slot of the guide bar.
Refasten the fastening screw with the hand.
