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
relevant and properly earthed plug.
L
Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 V with
residual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 mA).
Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.
Switching On / Off
Do not use a device where
−
the contactor can not be switched on and off.
−
the chain and motor brake does not work properly
Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced
immediately by the customer service.
When switching on the chain saw must be supported and held
safely. Chain and guide bar must stand free.
B
Release the chain brake. Push the front hand guard (3)
towards the front handle (Pos. 1). The chain saw is ready for
operation.
Switch on
B
Push and hold automatic trip switch (5). Then operate
the On/Off switch (6). Release now automatic trip switch.
Switching off
B
Release On/Off switch (6).
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 of chain brake
Check the chain brake’s proper function before each work start.
•
Start the engine.
•
Hold the chain saw with both hands and allow the engine to
run.
Â
Use the back of your hand to press against the front
hand guard.
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.
Clamping of saw chain
•
Before setting or checking the saw chain tension pull
out power plug.
•
In order to avoid injuries wear protective gloves.
Check the saw chain tension before
B
start of work
B
after the first steps
B
during sawing regularly all 10 minutes
Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient
lubrication you can influence the durability.
L
Please observe the following:
B
a new saw chain must be reclamped more often until it has
elongated.
B
in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it
expands 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.
B
if chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again
immediately.
Clamping of saw chain:
B
Loosen the fastening screw (11) 1 – 2 revolutions anti-
clockwise.
B
Turn the chain tension ring (12) stepwise clockwise until the
correct chain tension is reached. The engaging effect
prevents that the chain tension loosens.
L
The fastening screw (11) turns with it; possibly it must
be released again during the clamping process.
B
The saw chain is correctly clamped when it can be lifted
in the centre of the guide bar by appr. 3 – 4 mm.
B
Turn the chain tension ring (12) anti-clockwise when the saw
chain is clamped to much.
B
Refasten the fastening screw with the hand.
B
Check wether the chain links are positioned correctly in the
guide slot of the guide bar.

Additional advices for sawing trunks
Never put the trunk for sawing on the ground. Support the
trunk in such manner that the cut does not close and the
saw chain jams. Use a safe base (e.g. sawhorse). Avoid
contact to ground with the guide bar tip or saw chain.
Adapt shorter trunks before sawing and clamp them firmly.
Avoid cutting of thin bosk and lumber. The chain saw is not
suitable for those works.
Carry out longitudinal cuts with special care as the claw
stopper is not used. Avoid saw backstroke by guiding the
saw with a small angle.
