•
Reinstall the chain wheel cover and secure
it with the chain tension lock knob (Fig. 9).
Important! Do not fully tighten the chain
tension lock knob until after you have
adjusted the chain tension (see section 5.2).
5.2 Tensioning the saw chain
Warning! Always pull out the batteries before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the chain tension lock knob of the chain
wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 4).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain
tensioning knob (Fig. 10/Item 10). Turning the
knob clockwise increases the chain tension,
turning it counterclockwise decreases the
chain tension. The chain tension is correct
when the chain can be lifted by about 0.12"-
0.16" at the center of the bar (Fig. 11).
•
Tighten the chain tension lock knob of the
chain wheel cover (Fig. 9).
Danger! All the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension
is adjusted properly if the saw chain can be lifted
by around 0.12"-0.16" in the middle of the bar.
As the saw chain heats up during cutting, it
changes in length, please check the chain tension
every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required.
This applies in particular to new saw chains.
When you have fi nished working, loosen the
chain again as it will shorten when it cools down.
This will help to prevent damage to the chain.
5.3 Saw chain lubrication
Warning! Always pull out the batteries before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not
lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chain saw
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the
"min" mark (Fig. 12/See arrow) will damage the
chain saw.
Important! Be aware of the temperature
conditions: Diff erent lubricants with completely
diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent
ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures you
will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a

EN
suffi cient lubricating fi lm. However, if the same
low viscosity oil is used during the summer, it
will become even thinner due to the ambient
temperatures alone. As a result, the lubricating
fi lm could break down, causing the chain to
overheat and become damaged. In addition, the
chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary
pollutants.
Filling the oil tank:
•
Place the chain saw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Fig.
12/Item 7) and then open the oil tank cap.
•
Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process,
make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as
this could cause the oil nozzle to become
blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cap.
6. Operation
The fi rst-time user should, as a minimum, practise
cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
6.1 On/Off switch
Switching on
•
Insert two batteries in the equipment as
shown in Fig. 13.
•
Hold the chain saw by the handles with both
hands as shown in Fig. 15 (thumbs under the
handles).
•
Press the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 5) and
keep it pressed.
•
To switch on the chain saw, press the On/Off
switch (Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release
the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chain
saw to a standstill within a very short space
of time. Remove the batteries when you stop
working, even if it is only for a short time.
Warning! Always carry the chain saw by the front
handle. If the saw is ready for operation and you
carry it by the rear handle (which is where the
switches are located), then there is a risk that you
could accidentally press the safety lock-off and
the On/Off switch at the same time, and the chain
saw could inadvertently start up.
