1. General safety regulations
The corresponding safety information can be found in
the enclosed booklet.
Danger!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
2. Proper use
The chainsaw is intended for felling trees and for cutting
trunks, branches, wooden beams, boards etc. and can be
used for cross cuts and longitudinal cuts. It is not suitable
for cutting any materials other than wood.
Please note that our devices have not been designed
for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications.
Consequently, the guarantee will be invalidated if the
equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial ap-
plications or for other equivalent activities.
3. Assembly
Danger!
Do not connect the chainsaw to the power
supply until it has been fully assembled and the chain
tension has been adjusted. Always wear protective
gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself
against injury.
3.1 Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain
●
Carefully unpack all parts and check that they
are complete.
●
Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover.
●
Take off the chain wheel.
●
Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs
around the cutter rail.
●
Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the
mounting in the chainsaw. At the same time guide
the chain around the chain wheel.
●
Attach the chain wheel cover and secure it with
the fixing screw. Note: Do not fully tighten the fi -
xing screw until after adjusting the chain tension
(refer to point 3.2).
3.2 Tensioning the saw chain
Warning!
Always disconnect the mains plug before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear
protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to
protect yourself against injury.
●
Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover
a few turns.
●
Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensio-
ning screw. Turning the screw clockwise increases
the tension, turning it counter-clockwise decreases
the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensi-
oned if it can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle
of the cutter rail.
●
Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel co -
ver.
Danger!
All of the chain links must lie properly 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 per-
fect 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 du-
ring cutting and thus changes in length, please check the
chain tension every 10 minutes and adjust it again as re-
quired. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When
you have finished working slacken the chain again, as the
chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent
the chain from being damaged.
3.3 Saw chain lubrication
Warning!
Always disconnect the mains plug before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear pro-
