Operating Instructions

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 com-
mencing 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!
Always remove the rechargeable battery from
the device before all work.
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 direction
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 temper-
ature 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 tension the chain slightly loosen the T-screw 4. Then
turn the knurling wheel upwards (+ direction of arrow).
Tension the chain such that it can be lifted by about 3mm
in the middle of the bar, as shown in Fig. 5.
4. Switching on
(Fig. 6 + 7)
• Hold the saw securely with both hands so that the
thumbs and fingers are wrapped around the handle of
the chain saw (Fig. 6).
• Press with your thumbs the stopping button 11 on the left
side of the rear handle and then the operating switch 12.
• The stopping button 11 is used for unlocking the switch-
on mechanism and does not need to be pressed again
after the device is switched on.
• To switch off the device, release switch 12.
Attention: The sawing chain will start running
at high speed immediately. When putting the
saw down, make sure that the chain never gets
in touch with stones or metal objects.
Inserting or removing the battery pack
(Fig. 8)
(not included in the scope of delivery)
• Always turn off the tool, before removing or inserting
the battery pack.
• To insert the battery paack into the tool, first bring the
base of the tool with the notch in the housing on a line.
Slide the battery pack firmly into the tool until you hear a
click. Otherwise, it may result in injury to you or others.
• If you want to remove the battery block from the tool,
press the buttons on both sides, and remove the bat-
tery pack from the tool.
Safety devices on your chain brake
1. Chain brake (Fig. 9)
This chain saw is equipped with a mechanical brake for
the chain. In the case of uncontrolled movements, when
the tip of the sax blade gets in contact with wood or a
solid object, the drive of the chain is immediately stopped
by activation of the hand guard 8, the motor will not be
stopped. This brake function is initiated by the back
of your hand on the front handle 10 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 is locked in the operating position.
To do this, pull back the hand protection in the di-
rection of the handle.
