Checking the chain lubrication
Check the oil level and the chain lubrica-
tion system before commencement of
work.
•
Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw
is working trouble-free.
If no oil trace can be seen clean the
oil passages or turn the chainsaw
to our Service-Center for repair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (26), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation. Use
a brush or a cloth to help remove
residues from the oil passage.
Changing the saw bar
F
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from
the mains (
12).

2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (7) and the
screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (9) in counter-clockwise
direction in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
chain wheel cover (8).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw
chain (5). To remove the guide bar (4),
raise it to an angle of approx. 45 de-
grees. This will make it easier to take
the saw chain (5) off the sprocket (24).
5. Replace the blade and install the
blade and chain as described un-
der "Installing the sawing chain and
blade".

Sawing techniques
General
•
You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
•
The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
•
Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
•
Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using power.
There is a danger of injury here.
Switch off the motor and use a
lever or wedge to free the elec-
tric chainsaw.
Felling trees
A lot of experience is necessary
in felling trees. Cut down trees
only when you can safely han-
dle the electric chainsaw. In no
case should you use the electric
chainsaw if you feel unsure
about anything.
For safety reasons, we advise
inexperienced users not to fell
any logs with a rail length which is
smaller than the trunk diameter.
•
Ensure that no people or animals
are in the field of action. The safety
