• Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use.
• Damaged or illegible security labels have to be replaced.

Electrical safety

Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H 07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least

1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 m

• Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the device is reduced.
  Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this material.
  The connector of the connection cable must be splashproof.
• When running the connection line observe that it does not interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection does not get wet.
• Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
  Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
• Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if they are damaged.
• Do not use any defective connection cables.
• When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use.
• Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
• Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
• Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breaker (30 mA).

The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer service points. Local regulations - especially regarding protective measures - must be observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points.
Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.

Assembly

Connect chain saw to power supply system only after having finished the complete assembly.
Risk of injury! Wear protective gloves when assembling.
Put the chain saw with motor facing downward on an even face. 1
Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening screw (11). 1
Insert the saw chains into the circular guide slot of the sword. Attend to the correct running direction of the chain links. 2
Put on the sword. 3
When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain wheel (13). 4

Saw chain can hardly be put around the chain wheel? Turn the chain clamp (22) anti-clockwise until the saw chain can easily be put around the chain wheel. Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain is firmly clamped.

Now, refasten the cover (10) and clamp the saw chain as described in paragraph „Clamping of saw chain".

Before the first commissioning

Chain lubrication

The chain saw is not delivered filled with saw chain adhering oil.

The use without saw chain adhering oil results in damages of the chain saw.

The durability and cutting power of the chain depends on the optimal lubrication. During operation the chain saw is lubricated automatically with oil via the oil flow canal.

Charging the oil tank: 5

Put the chain saw on a suitable base.
Unscrew the oil tank lock (9).
Fill the oil tank with bio-degradable chain saw adhering oil (app. 100 ml). The fill level can be seen on the inspection window (17). For easier filling use a funnel. When filling observe that no dirt reaches the oil tank.
Screw on the oil tank lock again.

Once you have filled the oil tank for the first time or after it was completely emptied press the "primer" about 10 times to pump oil in the circuit.

Never use recycled oil or used oil. The guarantee expires when using oil which is not allowed for chain saws.

Commissioning

(1) Mains connection

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230V with the mains voltage and connect the saw to the relevant and properly earthed plug.

① Use a shockproof plug, mains voltage 230 ~V with residual current circuit breaker (FI switch 30 ~mA ).
Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.

(1) Mains fuse

16 A insert

Electrical mains supply impedance

When conditions in the electrical mains supply are unfavourable, voltage reductions for short periods can occur during the process of turning on the equipment, which can adversely affect other equipment (e.g., the flickering of a lamp).

No breakdowns are to be expected if the maximum, electrical mains supply impedances given in the table are met.

Power consumption P1(W)	Electrical mains supply impedance Zmax(Ω)
2000	0,36

Switching On / Off

Do not use a device where

the contactor can not be switched on and off.
the chain and motor brake does not work properly

Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced immediately by the customer service.

When switching on the chain saw must be supported and held safely. Chain and sword must stand free.

Switch on 6

Push and hold automatic trip switch (5). Then operate the On/Off switch (6). Release now automatic trip switch.

Switching off

Release On/Off switch.

Chain brake

The chain brake is a protective mechanism which in case of a stroke back chain saw is initiated via the front hand protection or after releasing the on/off switch. The saw chain stops immediately (< 0,1 sec.).

Checking of chain brake

Check from time to time the function of the chain brake.

Set the chain brake release (3) in pos. 2 and switch on the chain saw.

Pos. 2 = Chain brake active

Chain saw does not initiate

Set the chain brake release (3) in pos. 1 and switch on the chain saw. 8

Pos. 1 = Chain brake released

Saw chain initiates

Clamping of saw chain

Check the saw chain tension before

start of work
after the first steps
during sawing regularly all 10 minutes

Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient lubrication you can influence the durability.

(i) Please observe the following:

a new saw chain must be reclamped more often until it has elongated.
in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it expands and needs to be reclamped.

After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge in the saw chain.

if chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again immediately.

Clamping of saw chain:

1. Put the chain saw with motor facing downward on an even face.
2. Loosen the fastening screw (11) 1-2 revolutions anticlockwise. 9
3. Turn the chain tension ring (12) stepwise clockwise until the correct chain tension is reached. The engaging effect prevents that the chain tension loosens. 9

(1) The fastening screw (11) turns with it; possibly it must be released again during the clamping process.

1. The saw chain is correctly clamped when it can be lifted in the centre of the sword by appr. 3 - 4 mm. 10
2. Turn the chain tension ring (12) anti-clockwise when the saw chain is clamped to much.
3. Refasten the fastening screw with the hand.
4. Check wether the chain links are positioned correctly in the guide slot of the sword.

Working with the chain saw

Before sawing

Carry out the following checks before the initiation and regularly during the sawing process:

Is he chain saw assembled completely and properly?
Is the chain saw in good and safe condition?
Is the oil tank filled?

Check regularly the oil level at the inspection window (17). Replenish immediately oil when oil level indicates MIN so that the saw chain does not run dry.

Is saw chain clamped correctly?

Observe the points in paragraph „Clamping saw chain".

Is saw chain sharpened correctly?

You only work well and safely with a sharpened saw chain.

Is chain brake released and works properly?
The chain brake release (3) must be set to pos. 1. Observe the points in paragraph „Checking the chain brake".
Is handhold clean and dry - free of oil and resin?
Is workplace free of risks to stumble?
Do you wear the required protective equipment?
Did you read and understand all advices?
Is the power plug and the extension cable in good condition?

Do not use any defect cables

Is the extension cable correctly placed?

Connect the connector plug with the extension cable. Then, form with the extension cable a tight noose and push it through the safety web. Then hang the noose into the clamp. The plug connection is now saved against automatic release. 11

When carrying out the works observe that the extension cable is always leading backwards from the chain saw, and is outside the zone of the saw chain and the sawing material.

Saw backstroke

What is saw backstroke? Saw backstroke is the sudden strike upwards or backwards of the running chain saw in direction of the operator.

This happens when

• the sword pike gets in contact with the sawing material (unintended) or other hard objects.

in case of jamming saw chain.

The chain saw reacts uncontrolled and causes frequently heavy injuries with the operator.

Carry out lateral cuts, diagonal cuts and longitudinal cuts with increased attention because here the claw stopper (16) is not put on.

How to avoid saw backstroke?

• Never try to put on the sword pike for cutting. 12
• Never saw with the upper egde of the sword pike. 13
  Always put on the chain saw as plane as possible. 15
• Start cutting only with running saw chain.
• Never switch on the machine with the saw chain put on.
• Only work with sharp and correctly sharpened saw chain.
• Never work with loose or worn out saw chain.
• Only work with correctly clamped saw chain.
  Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
  Use claw stopper as lever. 16
• Never work above height of shoulders.
• Never cut through several perches at the same time. When releasing make sure that no other perch is touched.
  If possible use a sawhorse when cutting to length.
• Stab cuts shall only be carried out by instructed personal.

General conduct when sawing

• Do not work on snow, ice or recently peeled wood – slip hazard.
• Do not work under insufficient light conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow flurry or twilight). You can not see anymore details within the falling area – risk of accident.
  ■ Provide for a safe and cleaned workplace.
• Avoid abnormal posture. Keep at any time the balance. Do not work with the upper part of the body leaned forward.
• Operate the chain saw only with safe standing position. Hold the chain saw slightly on the right of the own body.
  Do not use the chain saw for lifting or moving of wood.
  Make sure that the wood is free of foreign object (stones, nails etc).
  Hold the chain saw always firmly with both hands, left hand on the front handhold (4) and right hand on the rear handhold (17). Never saw with only one hand. 14
  Make sure that the wood can not turn when sawing.
  Saw splintered wood with care. There is risk of injury by wood pieces carried away.
• Initiate saw chain before getting in contact with the wood.
  Only cut the sawing material with the lower edge. Cutting with the upper edge causes saw backstrokes.
  Put on the chain saw as plane as possible.
  Use the claw stopper (16) for fixing the chain saw on the wood. Use the claw stopper when sawing as lever. 16

• When sawing thicker perches or trunks set back the claw stopper (16) on a deeper point. For setting back release the claw stopper from the wood and place it again in a deeper position. Do not remove the saw here out of the cut.

• Let the chain saw work by producing a light leverage pressure over the claw stopper. When sawing do not press with strength.
  Never work

with stretched arms
on hardly accessible places
- standing on a ladder, a staging or a tree.

Never saw with the chain saw above shoulder height.
- Do not overload the chain saw. You obtain best cutting results when the chain speed does not fall.
- Be careful at the end of a sawing cut. As far as the saw leaves the wood the force of weight changes. There is risk of accident for legs and feet.
Remove the chain saw only with running saw chain out of the cut.
- Never get in contact with the running saw with metallic fences or the ground.
- Switch off the chain saw between the cuts when several cuts are carried out.
If the saw chain jams in the wood switch off immediately the device and pull out the power plug. Use a block to free the sword.
Make breaks when sawing so that the electric motor can cool down.

Additional advices for sawing trunks

• Never put the trunk for sawing on the ground. Support the trunk in such manner that the cut does not close and the saw chain jams. Use a safe base (e.g. sawhorse). Avoid contact to ground with the sword pike or saw chain.
  Adapt shorter trunks before sawing and clamp them firmly.
• Avoid cutting of thin bosk and lumber. The chain saw is not suitable for those works.
• Carry out longitudinal cuts with special care as the claw stopper is not used. Avoid saw backstroke by guiding the saw with a small angle.
• When working at a slope take always the position above or on the side of the trunk or the lying sawing material respectively. Pay attention to rolling trunks.

Additional advices for sawing timber under tension/release

If perches, trees or wood under tension become free of tension by sawing extreme caution is demanded. The sawing material can react completely uncontrolled and result in heavy injuries or death.

Such works shall only be carried out by instructed specialists.

For all works set always first of all on the pressure side 1 the releasing cut and then the dividing cut 2 - otherwise the chain saw can jam or strike back.

Wood on the upper side in tension 17

1 Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from the bottom up.
Then place a second cut on the same point from top which cuts through the trunk.

Wood on the lower side in tension 18

1 Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from top to bottom.
Then place a second cut on the same point from bottom which cuts through the trunk.

Strong trunks and strong tension 19

1 Place one cut (one third of the diameter of the trunk) from buttom up.
Then place a second cut with distance to the first cut from top which cuts through the trunk.

Cutting off of perches 20

1 Set 15 cm away from the trunk a cut from the bottom up (one third of the trunk diameter).
Then place from top the second cut appr. 8 cm more outside which cuts through the perch.
For removing the remaining part cut the perch close to the trunk from bottom one third.
Place from top the second cut which removes the remaining part.

Additional advices for chopping down trees

Always wear a helmet in order to protect yourself against perches falling down.

Pay attention to the length of the sword. Only those trees shall be chopped down which have a trunk diameter which is smaller than the length of the sword.
Before chopping down safeguard the working area. Make sure that there are no persons or animals in the fall area (minimum distance 2 tree lengths).
Make sure that the working area around the trunk is free of risk to stumble and that you have an escape route which is free of obstacles.
Provide for a safe standing position.
Hint:

Before chopping the tree decide on the chopping direction. Consider in this case the balance point of the treetop, neighbour trees, slope direction, state of health of the tree and the wind direction. On this side the kerf is cut in.

Chopping a tree:

Clean the working area at the trunk from molesting perches, brushes and obstacles.
Clean thoroughly the trunk foot - sand, stones and other foreign objects make the saw chain edgeless.
Consider the state of health of the tree - be careful with trunks with damages or deadwood (droughty, rotten or dead wood).
Cut a kerf with the saw of approximately one third of the tree diameter into the trunk. First of all place the horizontal cut and then as secondly a cut from top in an angle of 45^ .
Now saw on the opposite side of the trunk a horizontal chopping cut. This cut should be placed a bit higher (appr. 4 cm) than the horizontal cut of the kerf.
By no means cut through the trunk. Appr. 1/10 of the trunk diameter must remain. If the tree starts falling ahead of time pull out the chain saw immediately out of the cut and step back or to the side.
Push a key into the horizontal chopping cut in order to make the tree falling.
Pay attention, when tree starts falling, to perches or twigs falling down.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning work

• switch off device
• wait for stop of chain saw
• pull out main plug

Further maintenance and cleaning works than described in this chapter shall only be carried out by the manufacturer or companies named by the manufacturer.

For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.

Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to aviod possible injuries wear gloves.

To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the chain saws carry out the following maintenance works regularly.

Check the chain saw for obvious defects such as

• loose, hung out or damaged saw chain
• loose fastenings
• worn or damaged components

Check the chain saw after each application for

• wear, especially chain, sword and chain wheel.

• correctly assembled and faultless covers and protective devices.

Necessary repair works or maintenance works have to be carried out before the usage of the chain saw.

Sharpening of saw chain

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary. The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.

You also get chain sharpening devices in a specialised shop (filing devices) with which you can sharpen your saw chain yourself.

You can only work safely and well with a sharp and clean saw chain.

Exchanging saw chain and sword

Saw chain and sword are exposed to great wearing demands. Immediately exchange saw chain and sword when the faultless function is not guaranteed.

Put the chain saw with motor facing downward on an even face.
Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening screw (11). 3
Turn the chain clamper (22) anti-clockwise in order to release the saw chain a bit. 3
Take off the sword with saw chain.
Clean the guide slot thoroughly when only the saw chain is exchanged.
When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain wheel (13). 4
Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain is clamped.
Now, refasten the cover (10) and clamp the saw chain as described in paragraph „Clamping of saw chain".

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (13) is particularly great. Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.

A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability of the saw chain and should therefore immediately be exchanged by the customer service.

Checking of the oil automatic

Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike in direction of a carton or paper on the ground.

Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain. Keep a safe distance of 20~cm

If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil automatic works faultless.

If there is no oil track despite full oil tank

clean the oil flow canal (14) and the upper chain clamping boring (15) 23
If this is not successful please contact the customer service.

Cleaning

Clean the chain saw thoroughly after each application so that the faultless function is kept.

Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.

Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be applied.
Pay attention to that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free (risk of overheating).
After a longer application period (1 - 3 hours) disassemble the cover, the sword and the chain and clean them with a brush. 24
In case of harder pollution or resins put the chain for some hours in a container with chain cleaner. Afterwards wash up the chain with clear water.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the chain wheel and the sword fastening.
Clean the oil flow canal with a clean cloth.

Transport

Remove mains plug before each transport.

Transport the chain only with the chain protection put on.

Storage

• Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.
  To extend the service life of the saw and guarantee smooth operation, before storing for a longer period

thoroughly clean the chain saw

Remove the oil from the oil tank.

Hint:

Some chain oils tend to encrustations after a longer period. For this reason the oil system should be flushed before a longer storing with a chain saw cleaner. Fill the cleaner up to the middle (appr. 50 ml) into the oil tank. Close the tank. Switch on the chain saw without assembled sword and chain until the complete cleaner has left the oil opening of the chain saw.

Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper.
