any changes in the machine.
21. Always have a first-aid kit fulfilling DIN 13164 at hand
in case of accidents.
22. If the chain saw comes into contact with earth, stones,
nails or other foreign objects, withdraw the plug
immediately and check the chain as well as the bar.
23. Ensure that no chain oil penetrates into the earth or
sewage. Always place the chain saw on something
that will absorb any oil dripping from the bar or chain.
24. Avoid to use the trimmer in poor weather conditions,
especially if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
C) Warning to the danger of recoil (“kickback”)
25. If possible, use a stand.
26. Always keep an eye on the bar tip.
27. Only place a running saw on the object to be cut.
Never start the machine while the chain rests on
something.
28. So called piercing cuts with the bar tip may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
D) Instructions on safe working techniques
29. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is for-bid-
den.
30. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is being
cut.
31. Watch out for splintering wood. While you are sawing
you may be injured by flying wood chips.
32. Do not use the chain saw to lever or move the wood.
33. Only cut with the lower section of the saw. The saw
will be repulsed towards you if you try and cut with
the upper section of the saw.
34. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails or other
foreign objects.
35. We recommend that first-time users are instructed
practically as to the correct use of the chainsaw and
the required personal safety equipment by an expe-
rienced operator; the cutting of round wood or logs
should be trained on a log stand or similar rack-type
device first.
36. Keep the running chainsaw from touching the ground
or wire fences.
37. Keep people and animals away from the cutting blade.
38. Lay the mains cable in such a way that it cannot
be caught by branches or other similar items while
sawing.
Starting up
Before starting up
Before commencing work, always check that the chain-
saw works properly and is safe to operate. Check also
that the chain lubrication and the oil gauge are in good
working order.
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chainsaw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only chainsaw oil, i.e. oil which is 100%
biodegradable.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available everywhere
at your local specialist dealer. Do not use old oil. This
will damage the chainsaw and will also lead to loss of
the guarantee.
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 180 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (1).
If you plan not to use the machine for a longer period,
you should remove the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chain-
saw is transported or sent for repair.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before
commencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting
fittings assembled and hold over a bright background
at a safe distance (Be careful not to come in contact
with the ground!). A track of oil will show you that the
chain is sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some
absorbing surface. The oil spread on the blade, chain
and drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain
(Fig. 2 - 5)
CAUTION! Risk of injury! Always use safety
gloves when assembling the chain!
For assembling the bar and chain with this chain saw
no tools are required!
• Put the chain saw on a stable rest.
• Loosen the T-screw 4 turning it clockwise.
• Remove the gear cover 5
• Put the chain on the bar considering the running direc-
tion of the chain. The cutting teeth on the upper
side of the bar must point in forward direction (see
Fig. 5).
• Put the free end of the chain over the chain driving
wheel (B).
• Place the bar such that the long hole in the bar is
placed exactly on the guiding element in the bar seat.
• Take care that the chain tensioning bolt (A) is seated
exactly in the small opening in the bar (Fig. 3). It must
be visible through the opening. If necessary, adjust the
knurling wheel of the chain tensioning device 3 in both
directions until the chain tensioning bolt is seated in
the opening in the bar.
• Check whether all chain links are seated exactly in the
bar’s groove and the chain is lead around the chain
driving wheel correctly.
• Put the gear cover 5 back on and push it in place.
• Moderately tighten the T-screw 4 by turning it clock-wise.
• Tension the chain. To do so turn the knurling wheel
upwards (+ direction of arrow). The chain should be
tensioned such that it can be lifted by about 3mm in
the middle of the bar (Fig. 5). To decrease the chain
tension turn the knurling wheel downwards (- direction
of arrow).
• Finally, tighten the T-screw 4 well by hand.
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
