Chain catcher
Decreases the danger of injuries
if the chain breaks or if it comes
off.
Operation startup
Always wear protective gloves
when working with the chainsaw
and employ only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before
doing any work on the chainsaw
itself -– injury hazard!
Before you start up the electric chainsaw,
install the blade and fit the saw chain
adjust the chain, fill up with chain oil and
check the automatic lubrication and chain
brake function.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after
use and oil may leak out if it is stored on
its side or on the head. This is a normal
process due to the necessary ventila-
tion opening on the upper edge of the
tank and does not constitute a reason for
complaint. As each saw is checked dur-
ing production and tested with oil, a small
residue may be in the tank despite drain-
ing, which may slightly dirty the housing
with oil in transit. Please clean the hous-
ing with a cloth.
Fitting the blade and saw
chain
G
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
from the mains.
2. Spread the chain (5) out into a
loop with the cutting edges run-
ning clockwise .
3. Slide the saw chain (5) into the
bar guide groove. To mount the
guide bar (4), raise it to an angle
of approx. 45 degrees. This will
make it easier to replace the saw
chain (5) onto the sprocket (23).
It is normal that the saw chain
(5) is slack. Sagging in the chain
is normal.
4. Pre-tighten the chain (5) by
turning the tensioning plate (22)
clockwise.
5. Position the sprocket chain
wheel covering (15). First place
the tab (24) on the cover into the
corresponding notch on the plate
(15). Only lightly tighten the fas-
tening bolt (14), as you will still
have to tension the saw.
Tensioning the saw chain
With a correctly tensioned chain you get
good cutting performance and a longer life.
An incorrectly tensioned chain
may break or spring off, leading
to danger of injury. Test the elec-
tric saw before every start and
the chain tension after every
hour of sawing.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand.
