DANGER! Danger of fatal injury and dan-
ger of extremely severe injury. Lack of knowl-
edge of the safety instructions and operating in-
structions can lead to extremely serious and even
fatal injury.
■
Read and follow all safety instructions and in-
structions for use in these operating instruc-
tions as well the operating instructions which
are referred to before you start using the
chain saw.
WARNING! Danger of serious injury. Seri-
ous injury can be caused if there are damaged
components on the chain saw.
■
Before each use, perform a visual inspection
in order to check that the chain saw is com-
plete and does not contain damaged or worn
components. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
5.1
Charging the rechargeable battery
The battery and charger are not included. All bat-
teries (Bxxx Li) and chargers (Cxxx Li) from the
AL-KO 36V system can be used.
The rechargeable battery is partially charged.
Fully charge the rechargeable battery before us-
ing it for the first time. The rechargeable battery
can be charged in any charge status. Interrupting
charging does not damage the rechargeable bat-
tery.
NOTE Further information can be found in
the operating instructions for the batteries and
chargers from the AL-KO 36V system:
■
Batteries: Doc. No. 441630, 443549
■
Chargers: Doc. No. 441633, 443551
CAUTION! Danger of fire during
charging! Due to heating of the charger, there is
a danger of fire if it is placed on an inflammable
surface and is not adequately ventilated.
■
Always use the charger on a non-inflamma-
ble surface or in a non-combustible environ-
ment.
■
If available: Keep the ventilation slots free.

5.2
Checking and topping up the saw chain
oil (09)
IMPORTANT! Danger of damaging the chain
saw. The chain saw will be severely damaged if
there is too little or even no saw chain oil in the
tank or if it has dried/is sticky. Dried/sticky saw
chain oil can lead to damage to oil-channelling
components and the oil pump. Damage also oc-
curs if used oil is used. The use of used oil leads
to environmental damage!
■
For start-up work, fill saw chain oil into the
tank.
■
Do not use any used oil!
■
Each time before changing the rechargeable
battery at the latest, fill the tank with saw
chain oil again.
The saw chain and chain bar are continuously
supplied with oil during operation by means of an
automatic oiler system. The saw chain oil pro-
tects against corrosion and premature wear.
There must always be sufficient saw chain oil in
the tank to adequately lubricate the saw chain.
Use only environmentally friendly, biodegradable,
high-quality saw chain oil for lubrication of the
saw chain and chain bar. This oil must be trans-
ported and stored in approved and appropriately
labelled containers.
Filling with saw chain oil
1. Tilt the chain saw so that the chain oil tank
(09/1) is at the top.
2. Unscrew the plug (09/2) of the chain oil tank.
3. Fill the chain oil tank completely with saw
chain oil.
4. Close the chain oil tank again with the plug.
Checking the oil level
Every time before starting work or at each battery
change, check the oil level and top up the saw
chain oil if necessary.
1. Press the ON/OFF button (02/11) to switch
on the chain saw.
2. Check whether the red LED (03/3) for low oil
level lights up in the status display.
3. If the LED is red: Top up with saw chain oil.
5.3
Testing the function of the chain brake
The chain saw has a manual chain brake that is
activated by the chain brake bracket if, for exam-
ple, kickback occurs.
If the chain brake is activated, saw chain and mo-
tor are stopped immediately.
