Checking the oil automatic
system
Check the oil level and the automatic oil
system before commencement of work.
• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chain-
saw is working trouble-free.
If no oil trace can be seen clean
the oil passages or turn the
chainsaw to our Service-Center for
repair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (28), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
Change the blade / saw-
ing chain
1.
Lay the saw on a flat surface.
2. Turn the fastening bolt (13) and the
screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (14)
in counter-clockwise
direction
in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
chain wheel cover (15).
3. Remove the saw bar (4) saw chain (5).
To remove the guide bar (4), raise it
to an angle of approx. 45 degrees.
This will make it easier to take the saw
chain (5) off the sprocket
(22).
4. For assembly, see „Assembling the
blade and the sawing chain“
Refer to the start-up section on
how to tension the saw chain.
Sawing techniques
General
Observe the noise protection and
local regulations when cutting wood.
Local requirements may require a
suitability test. Ask the forestry com-
mission.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire must be removed from the tree.
• After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill be-
fore removing the chainsaw.
•
Always switch off the chainsaw motor
before moving from one tree to another.
• Lay the connecting lead such that it
will not be caught on branches or simi-
lar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop se-
curely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to with
the top side of the chain bar (with push-
ing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during saw-
ing through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety)..
• For sawing work on a slope, always
stand above the tree trunk. To keep
control at the moment of “sawing
through”, reduce the contact pressure
at the end of the cut without loosening
the firm grip on the chainsaw handles.
Ensure that the saw chain does not
come into contact with the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill be-
