6 OPERATION
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.
■
Comply with working time regulations in force
in your country.
■
Grip the rear handle firmly with your right
hand and the bow handle with your left hand,
and hold them tightly.
■
Do not release the handles as long as the
motor is running.
■
Do not use the chain saw if you are:
■
Tired
■
Unwell
■
Under the influence of alcohol, medicines
and drugs
6.1
Checking the chain tension
Frequently check the chain tension, because new
saw chains stretch.
At operating temperature, the saw chain stretch-
es and hangs down.
NOTE The saw chain has been tensioned
correctly when:
■
It is in contact with the underside of the guide
rail and can be pulled through by hand.
■
It can be lifted by 3 – 4 mm in the middle of
the guide rail.
CAUTION! Danger of injury due to the
saw chain jumping off! An insufficiently ten-
sioned saw chain can jump off during operation
and lead to injury.
■
Frequently check the chain tension. The
chain tension is too low if the drive links
come out of the groove on the underside of
the chain bar.
■
Re-tension the saw chain properly if the
chain tension is too low.
