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.
Biodegradable chainsaw oil should be available at any local specialist
dealer.
Do not use old oil. This will damage the chainsaw and will also lead to
loss of the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the sealing ring in the
tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 8.5 oz oil into the tank using a funnel and screw on the tank
cap tightly once more.

• It is possible to check the oil level at the oil sight glass 1 (Fig. 2). The
oil sight glass is equipped with a light to aid the process of checking
the oil level. If you do not intend to use the machine for an extended
period, please empty the oil tank of chain oil.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chainsaw is transported
or sent for repair.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before commencing work.
Switch on the saw with cutting fittings assem
bled 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.

• The chainsaw is equipped with an oil metering mechanism. The
volume of oil can be adjusted between 3 levels (A - low oil supply, B -
normal oil supply, C - high oil supply) depending on the type of wood
being cut (Fig. 3). This ensures the economical use of chainsaw oil.
Position A on the oil pump adjuster (2) is intended for soft, moist timber
and position C is intended for harder, dry timber. Position B should be
used for average types of timber.
• 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.

for assembling the bar and chain with this chainsaw no tools are
required !
• Put the chainsaw on a stable rest.
• Loosen the T-screw 8 turning it clockwise.
• Remove the gear cover 9.
• 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 for-
ward 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. 4). It must be visible through the opening.
If necessary, adjust the knurling wheel of the chain tensioning device
(17) 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 9 back on and push it in place.
• Moderately tighten the T-screw 8 by turning it clockwise.

0.12 in.
• Tension the chain. To do so turn the knurling wheel upwards (+ direc-
tion of arrow). The chain should be tensioned such that it can be lifted
by about 0.12 in. in the middle of the bar. To decrease the chain tension
turn the knurling wheel downwards (- direction of arrow).
• Finally, tighten the T-screw 8 well by hand.
The tension in the chain has a major effect on the service life of the cut-
ting fittings, and must therefore be checked regularly. When the chain
warms up to operating temperature it will expand and must be retight-
