65. We recommend that first-time users are instructed
practically as to the correct use of the chain saw
and the required personal safety equipment by an
experienced operator; the cutting of round wood
or logs should be trained on a log stand or similar
rack-type device first.
66. Keep the running chain saw from touching the
ground or wire fences. Do not cut thin wood or
timber that is already sawn into small pieces.
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 .
• 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 clock-
wise.
• 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 down-
wards (- 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 temperature 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 con-
nection 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
connection (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 require-
ments. 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 manufac-
turer only as this work requires the use of special
tools. Mobile devices for outdoor use should be
connected 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
