• Check the oil level and lubrication of your chain saw
after every use. Insufficient lubrication leads to dam-
age to the chain, bar and motor.
• Check how sharp the chain is every time before you
use the chain saw. A blunt chain will cause overheating
of the motor.
• Sharpening a saw chain requires experience and spe-
cialised knowledge. We therefore recommend to have
sharpening carried out by a specialised workshop.
• Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the
plug from the power socket and slide the chain guard
over the rail and chain. If several cuts are to be per-
formed with the chain saw, the saw must be switched
off between cuts.
• When using a vehicle to transport the machine, posi-
tion it so that it can cause no danger to persons and
fasten it firmly.
• There are no parts to be maintained inside the de-
vice; the following therefore applies:
- Do not carry out any maintenance tasks that are not
described in these instructions. We cannot accept any
liability for accidents and damage caused by unau-
thorised repair attempts, incorrect use or misuse.
In the case of technical problems
• The machine does not start up:
Check whether the current socket is live. Check
whether the power cable is undamaged. If neither
case applies, take the chainsaw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
• Chain does not run:
Check position of handguard (see fig. 10). Chain only
runs if handguard brake is released.
• Sparks fly at the motor:
Motor or carbon brushes damaged. Take the chainsaw
to a specialised work-shop or the works after-sales
service.
• Oil does not flow:
Check the oil level. Clean the oil flow openings in
the bar (see also the corresponding hints of "Main-
tenance and servicing). If this is not successful, take
the chainsaw to a specialised work-shop or the works
after-sales service.
Attention: Any maintenance or repair work go-
ing beyond that described in these Operating
Instructions may only be carried out by author-
ised persons or the works after-sales service.
Attention: If the power supply lead of this
device shows any defects, the lead must be
replaced by an authorized repair shop only
or through the manufacturer's own service
personnel, as this work requires special tools.

Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
