Inserting/replacing the battery (Fig. 9 + 10)
1.
Charge the battery (18) as described in the oper-
ating manual for the battery charger.
2.
Press the charged battery (18) into the device until
it latches fully.

Safety devices
Claw stop: The claw stop is used to support sawing.
It prevents the saw from slipping off the cut material.
The claw stop should be firmly mounted to the saw.
Chain catcher: reduces risk of injuries.
the saw chain should break or slip when the engine
is running. The chain catcher is designed to catch a
flapping saw chain.
Front hand guard: protects the operator's left hand
should it slip off the front handle while the chainsaw
is running.
10. Before commissioning
10.1
Chain brake
m WARNING!
The chain brake must be checked before each use.
The chain brake brakes the saw chain immediately in
the event of kick-back.
1.
Make sure that the hand guard (9) is free of dirt
and moves easily.
2.
Start the chainsaw and accelerate the saw chain
to full speed (full throttle).
3.
With the saw chain running, operate the hand
guard (9). The chain brake must brake and lock
the saw chain at max. speed.
m WARNING! Increased engine speed for too long
with the chain brake locked will damage the engine
and the chain drive.
If the saw chain (6) still moves, contact the custom-
er service.
10.1.1 Manual activation of the chain brake (Fig.
11)
1.
Tilt the hand guard (9) in the direction of the guide
rail tip.
10.1.2 Releasing the chain brake (Fig. 12)
1.
Draw the hand guard (9) in the direction of the
bow-type handle (10).
10.1.3 Checking the chain brake
1.
Set the chainsaw down on a firm surface.
2.
Release the chain brake.
3.
Hold the chainsaw tight in both hands.
4.
Switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain (6) starts
running.
5.
Tilt the hand guard (9) in the direction of the guide
rail tip. The chain must come to an immediate
standstill! If the saw chain (6) still moves, contact
the customer service.
6.
After work, regularly clean the visible mechanisms
of the chain brake to remove chips and sawing
residues.
10.2
Chain lubrication
m CAUTION!
• Never work without chain lubrication! If the saw
chain runs dry, the cutting gear will be irreparably
destroyed in a short time.
• Always check chain lubrication before working.
1.
Check the oil level on the basis of the oil level in-
dicator (15) (Fig. 13).
10.3
Refill the chain oil (Fig. 13)
m CAUTION!
• Only add environmentally friendly, good quality chain
lubricating oil (per RAL-UZ 48) to the chain saw.
• Do not add used oil. Used oil can cause skin can-
cer with extended and repeated skin contact, and
is damaging to the environment! Used oil does not
have the necessary lubricating characteristics and
is unsuitable for chain lubrication.
• An oil other than the recommended oil can cause
damage to the rail, chain and lubrication system.
• Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank.
• Avoid oil spillages. Always wipe up spilled oil.
1.
Unscrew the oil fuel cap (14). Before opening,
clean the oil fuel cap (14) and the filling nozzle
if necessary.
2.
Carefully add the chain lubricating oil until it
reaches the top mark on the oil level indicator (15).
