START-UP

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.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock if the log

splitter is operated without residual current
circuit breaker.

Operation of the appliance with-

out residual current circuit breaker in the mains
connection can result in serious injuries or even
death due to electric shock.

■

Before connecting the appliance, check
whether the mains connection has a residual
current circuit breaker for a maximum leak-
age current of 0.03 A.

■

If you cannot be sure that a residual current
circuit breaker is installed: Use an additional
portable residual current device with switched
PE conductor.

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

Filling with saw chain oil (11, 12)

IMPORTANT! Danger of damaging the

chain saw.

The chain saw will be severely dam-

aged 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-channel-
ling components and the oil pump. Damage also
occurs 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!

■

Always top up the tank with saw chain oil at
the latest before starting work.

The saw chain and the guide rail 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 lubricate the saw chain sufficiently.

Use only environmentally friendly, biodegradable,
high-quality saw chain oil for lubrication of the
saw chain and guide rail. This oil must be trans-
ported and stored in approved and appropriately
labelled containers.
