Adjusting the chain tension
The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly, tension-
ing chainsaw.
Starting up a new saw chain
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. There-
fore, you have to re-tension the chain
after the first 5 cuts and no later than after
10 minutes' sawing time.
Never attach a new chain to a
worn drive pinion or place onto
a damaged or worn chain bar.
The chain could spring back or
break, potentially leading to se-
rious injury.
Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when
handling the chain or the chain
bar.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (12).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (8), the saw chain (5) and
the chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-
move burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages (
the chain bar, in order to guarantee
a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and
sprocket chain wheel covering (8) and
tighten the chainsaw.
Storage
•
Clean the device prior to storage.
•
Empty the oil tank prior to longer peri-
ods of non-use. Dispose of used oil in
an environmentally-responsible way
(see „Disposal/Environmental Protec-
tion").
•
Attach the protective blade cover.
•
Store the device in a dry and dustproof
location and out of reach of children.
Waste disposal and
environmental protection
Do not dispose of used oil in the sewage
system or drains. Dispose of used oil in
an environmentally correct manner - bring
it to a waste disposal center.
Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool,
accessories and packaging to a recycling
centre when you have finished with them.
Labelled products must not be disposed of
with normal household waste but must be
returned to a collection point for the recy-
cling of electrical and electronic equipment.
27) of
Recycling helps to reduce both the
consumption of raw materials and the
environmental impact. Information about
disposal and the location of the nearest
recycling centre may be obtained, for
example, from your local waste manage-
ment department or from Yellow Pages.
With the oil nozzles in good condi-
tion and the oil regulator set cor-
rectly, the saw chain will spray a
little oil off after starting.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
