When working with the saw chain, wear cut resistant gloves and an apron if necessary, to avoid incision injuries.

Keep hands away from the grinding disk and chain teeth when the equipment is in use. Do not move the chain by hand. There is a risk of injury.

Switching on and off

Ensure that the mains voltage matches the specifications on the rating plate.

Connect the equipment to the mains.

1. To switch on, press the "I" On switch (green) and the device starts up (see A 1a).
2. To switch off, press the "0" Off switch (red) and the device switches off (see A 1b).

The disk will continue to run after the equipment is switched off. There is a risk of injury.

Protection against overheating and restart:

The unit will not automatically restart following an automatic cutout due to overload. To restart the grinder, press the "I" On switch (green) and the device starts up (see A 1a).

Test run:

Before starting work and after each change of grinding disk, carry out a test

run of at least 30 seconds with no load. Switch off the equipment immediately if the disk runs lumpy, substantial vibrations occur, or abnormal noises are generated.

Sharpening the saw chain

When working with the saw chain, keep clean the ventilation openings (see "Maintenance and cleaning").

In case of a blockage, switch off the equipment and disconnect from the mains. Only then should the blockage be removed.

An incorrectly sharpened saw chain may damage the chain the increase the risk of the saw jumping back. Ensure that the chain is aligned accurately.

Observe the correct rake angle and minimum dimensions of the saw chain. Remove as little material as possible.

Do not grind in drive (a) or connecting (b) links, otherwise the saw chain may rupture

In the event of non-observance, there is a risk of accidents when handling the chainsaw.

Instructions for sharpening

• Clean the saw chain before you sharpen it. Use a brush or cloth to remove oily wood chips or residual oil.
  After sharpening, all cutting links must be of equal length and width.
  The chain is worn and must be re

placed with a new saw chain if only approx. 4mm of cutting tooth remain.

Inserting the saw chain:

1. To open the chain guide, turn the clamping lever (13) anticlockwise. You must first return the clamping lever to its home position several times.

The clamping lever unlocks by pulling it outward, returning it to the home position and allowing it to snap back in.

1. Place the saw chain in the chain guide (7). Ensure that the cutting edges face the grinding disk (18).
2. Flap down the chain stop (15) and pull the saw chain back until the cutting tooth (27) to be sharpened contacts the stop (see figure D ①).

Adjusting the sharpening angle:

1. Loosen the locking screw (10) and use the scale (11) on the rotary disk of the chain clamping unit (12) to set the correct sharpening angle .

Tighten the locking screw.

Adjust the sharpening angle according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Adjusting the stop:

1. Turn off the motor and pull down the grinding head (2) by the handle (4).
2. Turn the chain feed adjusting screw (14a) to move the cutting tooth (27) towards the grinding disk (18) until they make contact (see figure ②). Tighten the adjusting nut (14b) to lock the adjusting screw (14a).

3. Turn the clamping lever (13) clockwise to tighten the chain links in the chain guide (7) (see 1.).

4. Turn the adjusting screw (6a) to set the depth stopper such that the grinding disk (18) contacts the tooth root (see figure D ②). Tighten the adjusting nut (6b) to set the grinding depth.

Sharpen:

1. Switch on the equipment (see "switching on and off").
2. By putting gentle pressure on the handle (4), move the grinding head (2) upwards and sharpen the cutting tooth. Do not allow the grinding disk (18) to slow down to stand still. This is prevented by reducing the pressing force early enough.
3. Switch off the equipment to move the chain onwards. Loosen the clamping lever (13) and tighten the next chain link to be sharpened in the chain guide (7) using the adjusted chain stop (15) and the clamping lever.

Start by sharpening the teeth on one side of the chain. Then adjust the rake angle and sharpen the teeth on the other side.

Check the depth limiter distance (see image D ③):

The cutting links, which comprise a cutting tooth (27) and a depth limiter lug (28), are the sawing parts of the chain. The height distance between these two is determined by depth limiter distance A.

1. After every third sharpening process, check depth limiter distance A against the saw chain manufacturer's specifications.
2. Use a flat file to file down the height of the depth limiter lug (28) and, after resetting, round off the depth limiter lug a little. The original shape must remain intact.

Maintenance and cleaning

Disconnect the plug before adjustment, maintenance or repair.

Have any work not described in these instructions carried out by a specialist workshop. Use only original components. Allow the equipment to cool before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning work. There is a risk of burns.

Before each use, check the equipment for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged components and check that screws or other parts are sitting correctly. In particular, check the grinding disk (A 18). Replace damaged parts.

Cleaning

Do not use cleaning agents or solvents. Chemical substances may attack plastic parts of the equipment. Never clean the equipment under running water.

• Clean the equipment thoroughly after each use.

Clean the ventilation openings (A 21) and the surface of the equipment with a brush or cloth.

• Clean the guide rail ( A 7) with a brush.
  In case of heavy dirt, loosen the locking screw for the chain clamping unit (A 10) and remove the chain clamping unit and rotary disk (A 12) for better access.

We recommended removing the side plates for cleaning.

Changing the grinding disk

Instructions for changing:

Never operate the equipment without the protective screen (A 20).

• Ensure that the rotation speed specified on the grinding disk (A 18) is equal to or greater than the idle-running speed of the appliance. If the max. rotation speed on the grinding disk is too small in contrast to the appliance the grinding disk can break.

Ensure that the disk dimensions fit the equipment.

• Use only fault-free grinding disks (ring test).
• If the locator hole in a grinding disk is too small, do not subsequently redrill in order to increase the size.
• Do not use separated reduction bushes or adapters in order to make a grinding disk fit where the hole is too large.
• Do not use saw blades.
• Reassemble the equipment fully after changing the grinding disk.

Switch off the equipment and disconnect from the mains.
Allow the equipment to cool.

1. Loose the 3 fixing screws (5) and take off the grinding disk cover (3).

2. Remove the grinding disk nut (18b) by hand.

3. Take the grinding disk (18a) off the adapter.
4. Place a new grinding disk on the adapter and tighten the grinding disk nut by hand.
5. Put the grinding disk cover (3) back on.

Do not tighten the grinding disk nut too much because this may cause the grinding disk and nut to break.

1. Test run: Before starting work and after each change of grinding disk, carry out a test run of at least 30 seconds with no load. Switch off the equipment immediately if the disk runs lumpy, substantial vibrations occur or abnormal noises are generated.
