Operating Instructions
GB-6
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chain-
saw is transported or dispatched.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before com-
mencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting fittings
assembled and hold over a bright background at a safe
distance (Be careful not to come in contact with the
ground !). An track of oil will show you that the chain is
sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some absor-
bing surface. The oil spread on the blade, chain and
drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain
(Fig. 2 - 4)
CAUTION! Risk of injury! Always use safety
gloves when assembling the chain!
For assembling the bar and chain with this chain saw
no tools are required !
• Put the chain saw on a stable rest.
• Loosen the T-screw 7 turning it clockwise.
• Remove the gear cover 8.
• Put the chain on the bar considering the running direc-
tion of the chain.
The cutting teeth on the upper side
of the bar must point in forward direction
(see Fig. 4).
• Put the free end of the chain over the chain driving
wheel (B).
• Place the bar such that the long hole in the bar is
placed exactly on the guiding element in the bar seat.
• Take care that the chain tensioning bolt (A) is seated
exactly in the small opening in the bar (Fig. 2). It must
be visible through the opening. If necessary, adjust the
knurling wheel of the chain tensioning device (16) in
both directions until the chain tensioning bolt is seated
in the opening in the bar.
• Check whether all chain links are seated exactly in the
bar’s groove and the chain is lead around the chain
driving wheel correctly.
• Put the gear cover 8 back on and push it in place.
• Moderately tighten the T-screw 7 by turning it clock-
wise.
• Tension the chain. To do so turn the knurling wheel
upwards (+ direction of arrow). The chain should be
tensioned such that it can be lifted by about 3mm in
the middle of the bar (Fig. 4). To decrease the chain
tension turn the knurling wheel downwards (- direction
of arrow).
• Finally, tighten the T-screw 7 well by hand.
The tension in the chain has a major effect on the service
life of the cutting fittings, and must therefore be checked
regularly. When the chain warms up to operating
temperature it will expand and must be retightened. A
new saw chain will have to be tightened more frequently
until it has reached its full length.
CAUTION: During the running-in period, the
chain must be more frequently tightened. The
chain must be immediately retightened if it
shakes or leaves the grove !
To tension the chain slightly loosen the T-screw 7. Then
turn the knurling wheel upwards (+ direction of arrow).
Tension the chain such that it can be lifted by about 3mm
in the middle of the bar, as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Connecting the chainsaw
(Fig. 5)
We recommend to operate the chain saw in connec-
tion with a residual current operated device with a
maximum breaking current of 30mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a mains
supply with a system impedance Z max at the point
of connection (house service connection) of max. 0.4
Ohm. The user must ensure that the device is only
operated on an electricity supply system meeting these
requirements. If required, system impedance data may
be obtained from the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are approved for
out-door use and are not lighter than rubber-
sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F according to
DIN/VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 sq.
mm. They cords must be splash-proof. If the
connection cable of this device should be dam-
aged it must be replaced by a workshop named
by the manufacturer only as this work requires
the use of special tools. Mobile devices for out-
door use should be connected over a residual
current operated device.
To protect the connection cable from strains this chain
saw is equipped with a strain relief. Form a tight loop with
the connection cable and put this loop through the open-
ing on the rear side of the handle. Put the loop over the
strain relief hook as shown in the corresponding figure.
4. Switching on
(Fig. 6 + 7)
• Hold the saw securely with both hands so that the
thumbs and fingers are wrapped around the handle of
the chain saw (Fig. 6).
• Press with your thumbs the stopping button 15 on the left
side of the rear handle and then the operating switch 9.
• The stopping button 13 is used for unlocking the
switch-on mechanism and does not need to be
pressed again after the device is switched on.
• To switch off the device, release switch 9.
Attention: The sawing chain will start running at
high speed immediately. When putting the saw
down, make sure that the chain never gets in
touch with stones or metal objects.
Safety devices on your chain brake
1. Chain brake
(Fig. 8)
This chain saw is equipped with a mechanical brake for
the chain. In the case of uncontrolled movements, when
the tip of the sax blade gets in contact with wood or a
solid object, the drive of the chain is immediately stopped
by activation of the hand guard 4, the motor will not be
stopped. This brake function is initiated by the back of
your hand on the front handle 2 pushing the hand guard.
The proper function of the saw chain brake shall be
checked before each use of the saw.
CAUTION: No buttons should be pressed when
the chain brake is released (hand protection
pulled back in the direction of the handle and
locked).
