Assembly

Connect chain saw to power supply system only after
having finished the complete assembly.
Risk of injury!
Wear protective gloves when assembling.
Place the chain saw on a level surface and release the
chain brake. Press the front hand guard (3) against the
front handle (4).
Remove the cover (10) by removing the retaining nut
(11).
Turn the chain stretching screw (12) anticlockwisely
until the chain stretching pin (21) is in its end position.
Place the guide bar. The chain stretching pin (21) must
engage in the provided hole in the guide bar.
Put the saw chain over the chain wheel (13)
insert it in the circumferential guiding groove of the
guide bar.
Attend to the correct running direction of the chain
links.
When assembling, pay attention that the chain
links are lying correctly within the guide slot and on the
chain wheel (13).
Remount the cover (10) and tighten the nut (11) hand-
tight.
Stretch the saw chain as described in section
„Stretching the saw chain".

Before the first starting

Chain lubrication

The chain saw is not delivered filled with saw chain
adhering oil.
Never operate the chain saw without lubrication. Any
use without chain saw oil may result in damage of
the chain saw and guide bar.
The durability and cutting power of the chain depends on the
optimal lubrication. During operation the saw chain is
automatically wetted with oil.

Charging the oil tank

Put the chain saw on a suitable base.
Unscrew the oil tank lock (9).
Fill the oil tank with bio-degradable chain saw adhering oil
(app. 90 ml). The fill level can be seen on the inspection
window (17). For easier filling use a funnel.
When filling observe that no dirt reaches the oil tank.
Screw on the oil tank lock again.
Once you have filled the oil tank for the first time
or after it was completely emptied press the "primer"
(9) about 10 times to pump oil in the circuit.
Never use recycled oil or used oil. The guarantee expires
when using oil which is not allowed for chain saws.

Start-up

Before sawing

Carry out the following checks before the initiation and
regularly during the working process. Observe the relevant
sections in the operating instruction manual:
Ist he chain saw assembled completely and properly?
Is the chain saw in good and safe condition?
Only use a suited guide bar/saw chain combination as
described under "Technical data". Incorrect combinations
increase the risk of kickbacks.
Is the oil tank filled (chain lubrication)?
Check the oil level on a regular basis. Top up saw chain oil
without delay to prevent the saw chain from running dry.
Is saw chain clamped correctly?
Observe the points in paragraph "Clamping saw chain".
and
Is saw chain sharpened correctly?
Use only well sharpened saw chains as edgeless saw
chains increase not only the risk of backstrokes but also
charge the motor.
Is chain brake released and works properly?
Observe the points in paragraph "Checking the chain
brake".
Are the handles clean and dry – free of oil and resin?
Before starting your work make sure that:
− no other persons, children or animals stay within the
working area,
− you can always step back without any barriers,
− your standing area is free from foreign objects,
brushwood and branches,
− you have always a secure standing position.
Take environmental influences into consideration:
− Do not work on snow, ice or recently peeled wood – slip
hazard.
− Do not work under insufficient light conditions (e.g. fog,
rain, snow flurry or twilight). You can not see anymore
details within the falling area – risk of accident.
− Do not use the chain saw near inflammable liquids or
gases - Risk of fire.

Electric supply

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate with
the mains voltage and connect the machine to the relevant
and properly plug.
mains voltage 230 V with residual current circuit breaker (FI
switch 30 mA).
Only use extension cables with sufficient core cross-section.
In case of disadvantageous power system conditions short-
term voltage reductions can occur during the starting
process of the device which can influence other devices
(e.g. jittering of a lamp). No failures are expected when the
house service connection has a continuous currect-carrying
capacity greater than 100 A per phase.
Main fuse: 16 A
Use a earthed shockproof plug,
