and there is a danger of it jumping off the rail altogether. Re-
tension if necessary.
• If the saw chain is re-tensioned when hot, it must be loosened
again when the sawing work has been completed.
• Otherwise, the contraction which takes place as the chain cools would result in excessively high tension.
• A new saw chain requires a running-in period
ofapprox .5 minutes. Chain lubrication is very important at
this stage. After running in, check chain tension and re-
tension if necessary.
OPERATION
Warning!
Always wear safety goggles, ear muffs, protective gloves and
heavy-duty work clothes!
Use the saw only with approved extension cables with the
prescribed insulation and connections designed for outdoor use
(approved rubber-sheathed cables) which fit the chainsaw plug.
The chain saw is equipped with safety switches, requiring the
use of both hand. The chainsaw works only when one hand is
pushing the button 11 and 13 at the same time. If the chainsaw
does not run, the chain brake must be released at the front
finger guard (3). Be
sure to read the sections “Chain brake” and
“ Releasing the chain brake “ on this point.
Filling in chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil tank cap
(21) before opening. Screw open the tank cap and fill the oil
inside till the line MAX. Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe
away any spills.
To switch on:
• Release the chain brake (3), push in the lock (11) and press
the power switch (13).
• Place the lowest claw (Fig 2, J) on the wood . Raise the chain
saw by the rear grip (1 ) and saw into the wood. Move the chain
saw back a little and place the claw further down.
• Be careful when sawing splintered wood as pieces of wood
may be ripped off.
After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately at high
speed .
To switch off
• Release either the ON/OFF switch (13) on the rear grip.
• The release of ON/OFF switch results the stop of the
chainsaw within 1sec., and heavy sparkling.This is normal and
safe for the proper operation of the chainsaw.
• After working with the chainsaw, you should always: Clean the
saw chain and guide bar and replace the chain guard.
• If the chain brake is activated the chainsam will be
deactivated immediately.
Initial operation
The voltage and current supply must comply with the ratings on
the type plate.
Before commencing work, always check that the chainsaw
works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil gauge are in
good working order (see Fig.4). When the oil lever is approx. 5
mm from the bottom mark, you must top up with oil. When the
oil level is higher you can work without worry.
• Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the ground. Be
careful not allow the chainsaw to touch the ground. For safety
reasons it is best to keep a clearance of at least 20 cm. If you
now see growing traces of oil, the chain lubrication system is
working correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try cleaning
the oil outlet (Fig 2, C), the upper chain tensioning borehole
(Fig 3, e) and the oil duct, or contact your Customer Service.
(Be sure to read the section “Filling in chain oil and chain
lubrication” on this point).
• Check the chain tension and retention, if necessary (see the
section “Tensioning the saw chain” on this point).
• Make sure the chain brake is working properly (see also
the section “Releasing the chain brake”).
Working instructions
Transporting the chainsaw
Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the plug
from the power socket and slide the chain guard over the
rail and chain. If several cuts are to be performed with the
chain saw, the saw must be switched off between cuts.
Securing the extension lead
Only use extension leads suitable for outdoor use. The
cross section of the cable (max. length of extension cord:
75m) must be at least 2,5 mm². secure the chainsaw flex
to the extension lead by inserting the extension lead into
the strain relief gap of the housing (Fig..M).Extension
leads longer than 30 m will reduce the performance of the
chainsaw.
Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide bar
must be evenly lubricated during operation. Lubrication is
automatic. Never work without chain lubrication. If the
chain runs dry, the entire cutting apparatus will quickly
become severely damaged.
It is therefore important to check both chain lubrication
and the oil gauge every use (Fig. 4).
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the “Min.”
mark.
•
Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at the
lower rim of the oil gauge (15), you must top up with oil.
•
Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and guide bars depends to
a large extent on the quality of the lubricant used. Old oil
must not be used! Use only environment-friendly chain
lubricant. Store chain lubricant only in containers which
comply with the regulations.
Guide bar
The guide bar (7) is subjected to especially severe wear
and tear at the nose and the bottom. To avoid one-sided
wear and tear, turn the guide bar over every time when
you sharpen the chain.
Chain wheel
The chain wheel (16) is subjected to especially high wear
and tear. If you notice deep wear marks on the teeth, the
chain wheel must be replaced. A worn chain wheel
curtails the service life of the saw chain. Have the chain
wheel replaced by a specialist dealer or your Customer
Service.
Chain guard
The chain guard must be clipped onto the chain and
sword as soon as the sawing work has been completed
and whenever the chainsaw has to be transported.
