time. Always disconnect the battery 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 chain saw is plugged in 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.
6.3 Safety devices
Motor brake
The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the
On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the
power supply is interrupted. This signifi cantly
reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be
present if the chain continued to run after being
switched off or disconnected.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is
triggered via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2).
If kickback causes the chain saw to suddenly jerk
back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw
chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check
the operation of the chain brake on a regular
basis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item
2) forward and briefl y switch the chain saw on.
The saw chain must not start up.
Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until
it engages to release the chain brake.
Danger! Never use the chain saw if the safety
equipment is not working properly. Never try to
repair safety related protection systems yourself
– always have any work done by our service
department or by a similarly qualifi ed workshop.
Hand guard
The front hand guard (which also acts as the
chain brake at the same time) (Fig. 1/Item 2)
and the rear hand guard (Fig. 1/ Item 16) protect
against fi nger injuries resulting from contact with
the saw chain if the chain breaks because it is
overloaded.

6.5 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 14 / item

Press the battery capacity indicator switch (15).
The battery capacity indicator (14) shows the
charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashing:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs fl ashing:
The temperature of the battery is too low. Remove
the battery from the device and leave it at room
temperature for a day. If the error occurs again,
this means that the battery has been completely
depth-discharged and is defective. Remove the
battery from the device. Never use or charge a
defective battery.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
•
Remove the battery each time before
cleaning.
•
Never immerse the unit in water or other
liquids in order to clean it.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning
it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of grease so that you
can maintain a firm grip.
•
Clean the device as required with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up
liquid.
•
If the chain saw is not to be used for an
extended period of time, then you should
remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly
immerse the saw chain and the cutter rail in
an oil bath and then wrap them in oil paper.
7.2 Maintenance
Replacing the saw chain and bar
The bar needs to be replaced if:
•
The guide groove of the bar is worn.
•
The adaptor plate in the bar is damaged or
worn.
