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 !
• Lay the chainsaw on a stable base.
• Release and remove the securing nut 7
• Pull off the pinion lid 8
• Lay the saw chain onto the bar and observe the direction
of the chain.
The cutting teeth must be pointing
forward on the top of the bar
(see fig.3, detail C).
• Lay the unattached end of the saw chain over the
chain drive wheel and the bar 5 with the elongated
hole over the blade guide and chain tensioning bolt
• Observe that the chain tensioning bolt is sitting exactly
in the small opening in the bar (see fig.3,detail A). It
must be visible through the opening.
• Now push the bar together with the chain forwards.
Observe that all chain links are positioned exactly in
the bar grove and that the saw chain is running precisely
around the chain drive wheel.
• Replace the pinion lid 8 and press it tightly until secure.
• Replace the securing nut. The securing nut should
initially only be tightened by hand.
• Tighten the chain. To do this, turn the chain tensioning
screw (see Fig.3,detail B) in a clockwise direction. The
chain should be tensioned so that it can still be raised
approx. 3 mm in the middle of the bar (Fig. 4).
• Finally, tighten the securing nut 7 using a socket
spanner.
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
temperature 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 tighten the chain, loosen the nut 7. Then turn the
chain tensioning screw B on the front of the chainsaw
in a clockwise direction.Keep tightening the chain until
it can be raised in the middle of the bar by approx. 3
mm, as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Install cutting grip
(Fig. 5)
To install the included cutting grip 14 lead both hooks
at the end of the grip into the openings of the front grip
2 and turn the cutting grip by 35° until it reaches its final
po-sition. Then, fasten the cutting grip 14 using the two
included screws 16 (Pozidriv screws 4x25).
4. Connecting the chainsaw
(Fig. 6)
This device is designed to be operated on a 230V/50Hz
mains supply in conjuction with a Risidual Current Device.
The chainsaw must be started only with a
suitable connection H05RN 3 x 1.52.
This chainsaw is fitted with a strain-relief device to
provide extra safety for the cable. First form the cable
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.
5. Switching on
(Fig. 2)
• Press with your thumb the safety button 15 on the left
side of the rear handle and then squeeze the operating
switch 9.
• The safety button 15 is used for unlocking the switch-
on mechanism and does not need to be pressed again
after the chainsaw is switched on.
• To switch off the chainsaw, release switch 9.
Caution: The chainsaw will run immediately at full
speed and will continue running for a certain
period after it is switched off. You must wait until
the chain has come to a full stop before putting the
chainsaw down.
Safety devices on your chain brake
1. Chain brake
(Fig. 7)
The chain saw is equipped with a mechanical brake
for the chain. In the case of uncontrolled movements,
when the tip of the saw blade gets in contact with wood
or a solid object, the drive of the chain is immediately
stopped by activation of the hand guard 4, the motor
will not be stopped. This brake function is initiated by
the back of your hand on the front handle 2 pushing the
hand guard. The proper function of the saw chain
brake shall be checked before each use of the saw.
CAUTION: No buttons should be pressed when
the chain brake is released (hand protection
pulled back in the direction of the handle and
locked).
Always ensure before starting the chainsaw that the
hand protection 4 is locked in the operating po-sition.
To do this, pull back the hand protection in the
direction of the handle.
2. Chain catch bolt
(Fig. 8)
This chainsaw is fitted with a chain catch bolt. If the
chain breaks when the saw is in operation, the chain
bolt will catch the loose chain end and thus prevent
injury to the operator's hand.
Instructions on working properly with the
chain saw
(Fig. 9+10)
Removing branches
(Fig. 9)
• Ensure that you are standing firmly.
• Cut a deep notch from below into the branch about 15
cm from the trunk.
• Now cut the branch from above about 5 cm further out-
wards from the lower notch until the branch drops off.
• In order to remove the rest, cut from below about 1/3
into the remaining branch close to the trunk.
• Cut into the branch from above until the branch has
been removed completely.
• Do not remove free-hanging branches from below.
Felling a tree
(Fig. 10)
• Ensure that no one is within the felling area,
minimum distance: 2 tree lengths.
• Ensure that no one can be hit by falling branches or
the tree to be felled.
