Danger! Do not fi t the battery until the chainsaw
has been fully assembled and the chain tension
has been set. Always wear protective gloves
when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself
against injury.
5.1 Fitting the cutter rail and saw chain
•
Carefully unpack all parts and check that they
are complete (Fig. 2-3).
•
Undo the fastening screw of the chain wheel
cover (9) (Fig. 4).
•
Take off the chain wheel cover (8) (Fig. 5).
•
Lay the chain (16) as shown in the groove
which runs around the cutter rail (15) (Fig. 6a/
Item A).
•
Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown into
the mounting of the cordless chainsaw. As
you do so, guide the chain around the chain
wheel (Fig. 6b and 6c/ Item B).
•
Attach the chain wheel cover and secure it
with the fastening screw (9) (Fig. 7). Impor-
tant! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw
until after you have adjusted the chain tension
(see section 5.2).
5.2 Tensioning the saw chain
Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug
before performing any checks or adjustments. Al-
ways wear protective gloves when working on the
chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the fastening screw of the chain wheel
cover (9) a few turns (Fig. 4).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensio-
ning screw (Fig. 8/ Item 10). Turning the screw
clockwise increases the tension, turning it
counter-clockwise decreases the chain ten-
sion. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it
can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle of
the cutter rail (Fig. 9).
•
Tighten the fastening screw of the chain
wheel cover (9) (Fig. 7).
Danger! All of the chain links must lie proper-
ly in the guide groove of the cutter rail.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to
ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain
tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted
by around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail.
As the saw chain heats up during cutting and
thus changes in length, please check the chain
tension every 10 minutes and adjust it again as
required. This applies in particular to new saw
chains. When you have fi nished working slacken
the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it
cools down. This will prevent the chain from being
damaged.
5.3 Saw chain lubrication
Warning! Always pull out the battery before per-
forming any checks or adjustments. Always wear
protective gloves when working on the chainsaw
to protect yourself against injury.
Notice! Never operate the chain if it is not lub-
ricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below
the “min” mark (Fig. 10/ Item B) will damage the
chainsaw.
Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
di ff erent lubricants with completely di ff erent
viscosities are required at di ff erent ambient tem-
peratures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a su ffi cient
lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone,
and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank:
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Fig.
10/Item A) and then clean the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process,
make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this
could cause the oil nozzle to become blo-
cked.
•
Close the oil tank cover.
5.4 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 11-12)
The battery is protected from exhaustive dischar-
ge. An integrated protective circuit automatically
switches o ff the equipment when the battery is
fl at.
Warning! Do not actuate the On/O ff switch any
more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may
damage the battery.
1. Remove the battery pack from the handle,
pressing the pushlock button (13) downwards
to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(18) into the socket outlet. The green LED will
then begin to fl ash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-
ger.
