Original Instructions

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled during
operation via oil outlet.
Filling oil tank:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth unscrew cap.
3. Do not remove filter insert during filling.
4. Add chain saw oil until reservoir is full.
5. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap (4) and tighten.
Important: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are provided between
the oil filler cap and the strainer, to prevent leakage ensure machine is left in a horizontal
position (oil filler cap (4) uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use
of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty.
OPERATION
1.Switching on and off (See fig. A)
Check the voltage and current supply: The voltage and current supply must comply with the ratings on the type
plate.
For switching on the machine, press the lock-off button(3), then fully press the on/off switch(2) and hold in this
position. The lock-off button(3) can now be released. For switching off, release the on/off switch(2).
2.Fill
the Oil Reservoir
(See fig. B)
Check oil level gauge (19) prior to starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil level is low. The oil
tank filling will last approx. 16minutes, depending on sawing intensity and stops. (Fig. B) Check new replaced
chain tension approx. every 10 minutes during operation.

Kickback Safety Devices on This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback chain bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
Kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
