Starting up
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chain saw 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 biologically-based chainsaw oil, i.e.
oil which is 100% biologically decompos-able.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available every-where
at your 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. 200 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 (Fig.
2). If you plan not to use the machine for a longer
period, you should remo ve the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chainsaw
is transported or dispatched.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before
commencing 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 !). An track of oil will
show you that the chain is sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some absor-
bing 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. 3)
CAUTION ! Risk of injury ! Always use safety gloves
when assembling the chain !
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 7 turning it clockwise.
• Remove the gear cover 8.
• 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. 4).
• 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 (16)
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 8 back on and push it in place.
• Moderately tighten the T-screw 7 by turning it clockwise.
• 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. 4). To decrease the chain
tension turn the knurling wheel downwards (- direction
of arrow).
• Finally, tighten the T-screw 7 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 tem-
perature 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 7. 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. 4.
3. Connecting the chainsaw (Fig. 5)
We recommend to operate the chain saw in connec-
tion with a residual current operated device with a
maximum breaking current of 30mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a mains supply
with a system impedance Z max at the point of connec-
tion (house service connection) of max. 0.4 Ohm. The
user must ensure that the device is only operated on an
electricity supply system meeting these requirements.
If required, system impedance data may be obtained
from the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are approved for
outdoor use and are not lighter than rubber-
sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F according to DIN/
VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 sq. mm. They
cords must be splash-proof. If the connection cable
of this device should be damaged it must be
replaced by a workshop named by the manufacturer
only as this work requires the use of special tools.
Mobile devices for outdoor use should be con-
nected over a residual current operated device.
This chainsaw is fitted with a strain-relief device to provide
extra safety for the connection. First connect the device
plug with the connection line. Then form the connection line
into a tight loop and push this through the safety web on the
lower side of the machine. Hang the loop into the hook as
shown in Fig. 6. The plug connection is now secure against
automatic release.
4. Switching on (Fig. 2)
• Press with your thumbs the stopping button 15 on the left
side of the rear handle and then the operating switch 9.
• The stopping button 15 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 9.
Caution: The chainsaw will run immediately at
full speed and will continue running for a certain
period after it is switched off. You must wait until
the chain has come to a full stop before putting
chainsaw down.
