and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain
saw switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide
bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the
Iikelihood of accidentaI contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or nonwood building materials.
Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
Beware of kickback!
• Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the
saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.
• As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
• Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/ or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces (Fig. L).
• Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
• This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer.
• Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer´s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
• Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Additional safety informations
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service
agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order
to prevent hazards.
• Lay the extension cable in such a way that it will not be
caught by branches or similar during sawing.
• Use a surge protector with a release current of 30 mA or
less.
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
• Carefully follow the maintenance, control and service
instructions in this manual.
• Practise using the saw (sawing logs on a sawhorse) and
get an experienced user or a specialist to explain to you
the function of the saw, the way of working, the
techniques of sawing and the personal protection
equipment.
ASSEMBLY
Fitting the guide bar and chain (Fig 1, 2, 3)
Warning!
If the chain saw is already connected to the power
supply: Pull the plug from the socket outlet. Wear protective
gloves whenever doing any work on the saw chain.
Important: The front finger guard (3) must always be in the top
(vertical) position (Fig. 5).
The guide bar and saw chain are supplied separately. To
assemble, first unscrew the lock nut (SDS-system/5) and
remove the guide bar cover (6). The guide bolt (17) must be in
the centre of the guide.
If necessary, adjust the chain tensioning with the chain wheel
(Fig.3, 5a).
Warning! To prevent injury on the sharp cutting edges, always
wear gloves when assembling, tensioning and checking the
chain.
Before assembling the guide bar with the saw chain, check the
cutting direction of the teeth!
The running direction is marked with an arrow on the cover (6).
To determine the direction of cut, it may be necessary to turn
over the saw chain (4).
Hold the guide bar (7) vertically with the tip pointing upwards
and put on the saw chain (4), beginning at the tip of the bar.
Then assemble the guide bar with the saw chain as follows:
• Place the guide bar with the saw chain on the chain wheel
(16) and guide bolt (17). Ensure that the adjustment plate
(Fig.3/7A) is showing to you.
• Place the saw chain round the chain wheel (16). Cause
the chainsaw to the sprocket and check whether it is
correctly.
• The adjustment plate (7a) is fastened to the guide rail (7)
with the screw F.
• Place the cover (6) on top and tighten gently with the
lock nut (5).
Now the saw chain has to be correctly tensioned.
Tensioning the saw chain
Warning!
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before doing
any work on the chainsaw!
Wear safety gloves!
• Make sure the saw chain (4) is inside the guide groove
of the guide bar (7).
• Turn the outer Knob (Fig. 3/5A) clockwise until the saw
chain is correctly tensioned, then rotate the inside knob
(5) to block the guide bar in that position.
• While the inside knob is being tightened, the guide bar
must then be pushed upwards.
• Check the chain tension again. Do not tension the chain
too tightly.
• When cold, it should be possible to lift the chain in the
middle of the guide bar approx. 5 mm. Tighten the lock nut
(5) securely.
• When warm, the saw chain will expand and slacken
