Always switch off the device and
allow the motor to cool before
filling with chain oil. There is a
risk of fire if oil overflows.
Operating the chainsaw
Switch on the chainsaw only when
chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly
assembled. Ensure the voltage
of the mains connection agrees
with the label on the device. Make
sure you have a secure stance.
Make sure before you start that the
electric chain saw is not touching
anything.
Caution! Saw can oil up, see notes
on "Assembly - Mounting the saw
chain and blade"

Switching on
1. Check before the start, whether suf-
ficient chain oil is in the tank and, if
necessary, refill with chain oil (see
Chapter Operation Startup).
2. Form a loop from the end of the exten-
sion cable and hang this into the ten-
sion relief (11) on the rear grip (1).
3. Connect the device to the mains voltage.
4. Release the chain brake, where you
shift the brake arm (3) back against
the front grip (16).
5. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with
both hands, with the right hand on the
rear grip (1) and the left hand on the
front handle (16). Thumb and finger
must close securely over the handles.
6. For switching on, activate the switch-
on block (14) with the right thumb and
then press the On/Off switch (13), the
electric power saw runs with highest
speed. Release the switch-on block
(14) again.
7. The power saw switches off when you
release the On/Off switch (13) again.
Switching for continuous running is not
possible.

Checking the chain brake
The motor cannot be turned on
if the chain brake has engaged.
Do not employ the chain brake in
order to start the chainsaw or to
switch it off.
1. Place the electric chainsaw onto a
solid, flat surface. It must not contact
any objects.
2. Connect the device to the mains voltage.
3. Release the chain brake by shifting
the brake arm (3) over against the
front grip (16).
4. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with
both hands, with the right hand on the
rear handle (1) and the left hand on the
front handle (16). Thumb and finger
must close securely over the handles.
5. Turn on the electric chainsaw.
6. Activate the chain braking lever (3),
with running motor, with the left hand.
To do so, push the chain braking lever/
front hand protection (3) away from
the front handle (16). Chain should
stop abruptly.
7. Once the chain brake is working prop-
erly, release the on/off switch and the
chain brake.
If the chain brake does not func-
tion correctly, you must not use
the electric chainsaw. A slack saw
chain leads to danger of injury.
Return the electric chainsaw to
our Service-Center for repair.
