Operation startup
Always wear protective gloves
when working with the chainsaw
and employ only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before
doing any work on the chainsaw
itself -– injury hazard!
Before initial operation of the electric
chainsaw, you must assemble the blade,
chain and chain wheel cover, adjust the
chain, fill with chain oil, check the func-
tion of the chain brake and check the oil
mechanism.
Caution! The saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after use
and oil may leak out if it is stored on its side
or on the head. This is a normal process
due to the necessary ventilation opening
on the upper edge of the tank and does not
constitute a reason for complaint. As each
saw is checked during production and test-
ed with oil, a small residue may be in the
tank despite draining, which may slightly
dirty the housing with oil in transit. Please
clean the housing with a cloth.
Assemble the blade and the saw
chain
1. Place the saw on a flat surface.
2. Loosen the mounting nuts
(
14) and take off the chain
wheel cover (
15).
3. Turn the chain tensioner screw
(20) in an
anticlockwise direc-
tion
until the chain tensioner pin
(21) is located in the stop posi-
tion in the direction of the saw.
4. Spread the saw chain (6) in a
loop, so the cutting edges face
clockwise
.
5. Place the chain around the bla-
de (5) and into the blade groove.
Form a loop in the blade (5) with
the surplus chain elements on
the side of the holes (24).
6. Fix the inserted chain on the
blade using your gloved hand.
Now place the chain around the
chain sprocket (27).
7. Place the chain bar (5) and saw
chain (6) on the bar bolts (22).
When the nose on the right be-
low the bar bolt (21) sits in the
round (24) recess on the blade,
the blade is placed correctly.
It is normal for the saw chain (6)
to sag.
8. Put on the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15). When doing so,
first the lug (25) on the covering
has to be inserted into the notch
on the appliance (26).
9. Screw on the cover with the
mounting nuts (14). The chain
must not slide off from the blade
in the process. Tighten the nut
only hand-tight, as the chainsaw
must still be tensioned.
Tensioning the saw chain
With a correctly tensioned chain you get
good cutting performance and a longer
life.
An incorrectly tensioned chain
may break or spring off, lead-
ing to danger of injury. Test the
electric saw before every start
and the chain tension after every
hour of sawing
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not
sag at the rail underside and can be rotated
completely around with the gloved hand.
