Make sure you have a secure
stance.
Before starting, ensure that the
electric chainsaw is in contact with
no objects.
Switching on
Check before the start, whether
sufficient chain oil is in the tank
and, if necessary, refill with chain
oil (see Chapter Operation Start).
1. Release the chain brake, where
you shift the brake arm (4) back
against the front grip.
2. Form a loop from the end of the
extension cable and hang this
into the tension relief (19) on the
rear grip.
3. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
4. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly
with both hands, with the right
hand on the rear grip and the
left hand on the front handle.
Thumb and finger must close
securely over the handles.
5. For switching on, activate the
switch-on block (12) with the
right thumb and then press the
On/Off switch (11), the electric
power saw runs with highest
speed. Release the switch-on
block again.
6. The power saw switches off
when you release the On/Off
switch again. Switching for con-
tinuous running is not possible
Checking the chain brake
The saw chain does not turn if the
chain brake is engaged.
1. Release the chain brake by shifting
the brake arm (4) over against the
front grip.
2. Place the electric chainsaw onto a
solid, flat surface. It must not contact
any objects.
3. Connect the device to the mains volt-
age.
4. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with
both hands, with the right hand on the
rear grip and the left hand on the front
handle. Thumb and finger must close
securely over the handles (see
).
5. Turn on the electric chainsaw. (See
“Switching On”).
6. Activate the chain braking lever (4),
with running motor, with the left hand.
Chain should stop abruptly..
7. Once the chain brake is working prop-
erly, release the on/off switch and the
chain brake.
If the chain brake does not func-
tion correctly, you must not use
the electric chainsaw. A slack
saw chain leads to danger of in-
jury.
Return the electric chainsaw to
our Service-Center for repair
Checking the oil automatic
system
Check the oil level and the oil automatic
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 chainsaw
is working trouble-free.
