the middle of the bar. As the saw chain heats
up during cutting and thus 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 the
chain will shorten when it cools down. This will
prevent the chain from being damaged.
5.3 Saw chain lubrication
Warning! Always disconnect the battery before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
Notice! 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/ Item B) will damage the chain
saw.
Notice! 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 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,
and 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:
•
Keep away from ignition sources.
•
Place the chain saw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Fig.
12/Item 7) and then clean 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
6.1 Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the
following points before every use:
Condition of the chain saw
Inspect the chain saw before the start of work for
damage to the housing, the saw chain and the
bar. Never use a chain saw which is obviously
damaged.
Oil tank
Fill level of the oil tank. Even while working, keep
checking that suffi cient oil is in the system. To
avoid damaging the chain saw, never run the saw
if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops
below the "min" mark (Fig. 12/Item B).
On average, a single fi lling will last around 15
minutes depending on the number of pauses in
cutting and the loads involved.
Saw chain
Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting
elements. The sharper the chain saw, the easier
and more controllable it is to operate the chain
saw. The same also applies to the chain tension.
Again, while working also check the chain tension
every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety.
New saw chains in particular often tend to expand
more.
Chain brake
Check the operation of the chain brake as
described in the chapter "Safety devices" and
then release it.
6.2 Switching on/off
Switching on
•
Plug in the battery on the equipment.
•
Hold the chain saw by the handles with both
hands as shown in Fig. 15 (thumbs under the
handles).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/
Item 5).
•
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
