General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety directions and instructions.

Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without power cord).

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan opergled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Use a surge protector with a release current of 30 mA or less.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts..

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

GB

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6) CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:

a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention white operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

b) Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

c) Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

d) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw white up in a tree may result in personal in jury.

e) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when

standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

f) When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back.

When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

g) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

h) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

i) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.

Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

k) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control..

I) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

m) Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the saw

chain can come into contact with concealed power lines or the mains cable to the equipment. Contact between the saw chain and a live wire can make metal parts of the equipment live and cause an electric shock.

n) If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service organization.

o) Use only approved mains cables of the type H07RN-F that are intended for outdoor use. The wire cross section of the mains cable must be at least 2.5 mm ^4 . Always roll out the cable reel completely before use. Check the mains cable for damages.

7) CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

Beware of kickback! Be careful of kickback of the machine during work. There is danger of injury here. You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a correct sawing technique.

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you

GB

should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations..
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

9) RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards:

a) Lung damage, if suitable respiratory protection is not worn;
b) Cuts
c) Ear damage if working without ear protection.

d) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.

Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an electromagnetic field which, under certain circumstances, may impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the machine.

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 function 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 tested 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

B 1. Place the saw on a flat surface. 2. Loosen the mounting nuts (14) and take off the chain wheel cover (15).

1. Turn the chain tensioner screw (20) in an anticlockwise direction until the chain tensioner pin (21) is located in the stop position in the direction of the saw.

2. Spread the saw chain (6) in a loop, so the cutting edges face clockwise.

3. Place the chain around the blade (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).

4. Fix the inserted chain on the blade using your gloved hand. Now place the chain around the chain sprocket (27).

5. Place the chain bar (5) and saw chain (6) on the bar bolts (22). When the nose on the right below 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.

6. 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).

7. 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.

D 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, leading 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.

When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2 mm.

1. Ensure that the chain brake has been released, that is, that the chain brake lever (4) is pulled up against the front grip.
2. Loosen the mounting nuts (14).
3. To tension the saw, twist the chain tensioner screw (20) in a clockwise direction.

To loosen the tensioning, twist the chain tensioner screw (20) in an anticlockwise direction.

1. Tighten the mounting nuts (14) firmly.

With a new saw chain, you must readjust the chain tension after at least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be without oil. If you operate the elec-

tric chainsaw with too little oil, the cutting performance and the lifetime of the saw chain is reduced, since the chain becomes blunt faster. You can identify a case of too little oil where smoke development or discoloration of the rail occurs.

The power saw is equipped with an oil automatic system. As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the chain bar.

E Fill with chain oil

• Check the oil level indicator (2) regularly and top up with oil once the lowest mark is reached. The oil tank holds approx. 270 ml oil.
• Use bio-oil; this product contains additives that reduce wear and tear and does not damage the pump system. bio-oil is available from our Service-Center.

• If you have no bio-oil available, use chain lubrication oil with low adhesive additive content.

• Unscrew the oil fill cap (3) and fill up with chain oil.

• Wipe off any spilled oil and close the cap again.

Operating the chainsaw

Switch on the chainsaw only when chain bar, saw chain and sprocket chain wheel covering are correctly assembled.

Ensure the voltage of the mains connection agrees with the label on the device.

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The power saw switches off when you release the On/Off switch again. Switching for continuous 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 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 (see 1).
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 properly, release the on/off switch and the chain brake.

If the chain brake does not function correctly, you must not use the electric chainsaw. A slack saw chain leads to danger of injury.

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.

GB

Oils can become viscous in cold weather.

If no trace of oil appears, it may be necessary to clean the oil outlet channel or to have the electric chainsaw repaired by our customer service.

Sawing techniques

General

Observe the noise protection and local regulations when cutting wood. Local requirements may require a suitability test. Ask the forestry commission.

• Lay the connecting lead such that it will not be caught on branches or similar during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop securely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw with the bottom side of the chain bar (with pulling saw chain) and not to with the top side of the chain bar (with pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either the ground or another object during sawing through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not become jammed in the wood. Do not let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sawing work on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk. To keep control at the moment of “sawing through”, reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut without loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw handles.

Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw. Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.

If the saw chain jams, you do not attempt to pull out the electric chainsaw using power. There is a danger of injury here. Switch off the motor and use a lever or wedge to free the electric chainsaw.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk into smaller sections. Cutting to length means sawing felled tree trunks into small sections. Ensure that you have secure footing and balance your body weight evenly on both feet. If possible, the trunk should be protected and supported by branches, logs or wedges.

• Ensure that the saw chain does not come in contact with the ground during sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance and, in the case of sloping ground, stand above the log.

1. Log is lying on the ground:

Saw through the log completely from above and ensure at the end of the cut not to contact the ground.

If you can turn the tree trunk, saw two-thirds of the way through it. Then turn the trunk around and saw the rest of the way through from above.

2. Log is supported at one end:

Start sawing from the bottom and work your way up (with the upper edge of the bar) a third of the way into the diameter of the trunk to prevent splitting. Then saw from the top downwards with the lower edge of the bar towards the first cut to prevent the bar from becoming jammed in the wood..

3. Log is supported at both ends:

Start from the top and work down (with the lower edge of the bar) to a third of the diameter of the trunk. Then saw from underneath with the upper edge of the bar until the two cuts meet.

4. Sawing on a sawhorse:

Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. Once the saw is through the wood, guide the machine passed you on the right (1). Hold your left arm as straight as you can (2). Watch out for the falling trunk. Position yourself to prevent any danger from the separated trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk may cause injuries when falling. Keep your balance (3).

Limbing

Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of branches and boughs from a felled tree.

Many accidents occur during the removal of branches. Never cut tree limbs when you are standing on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if branches are under tension.

• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed from below to above, in order to prevent jamming of the chainsaw. When working on thicker branches, use the same technique as when you are sawing up a felled trunk.
• Work to the left of the log and as near as possible to the electric chainsaw. As far as possible, the weight of the saw should rest on the log.
• Change position to saw off branches on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off separately.
• When taking off larger branches, leave the ones that extend downwards and support the tree be for now. Saw off smaller branches, as shown in Figure N, in one go.

Felling trees

A lot of experience is necessary in felling trees. Cut down trees only when you can safely handle the electric chainsaw. In no case should you use the electric chainsaw if you feel unsure about anything.

- Ensure that no people or animals are in the field of action. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest-located workplace must be 2 12 tree lengths.

GB

• Note the felling direction:
The user must be able to move safely near the felled tree, to saw off the tree easily and remove branches. It is to be avoided that the felled tree snags itself on another tree. Note the natural felling direction, which is dependent on the slope and curvature characteristic of the tree, wind direction and the number of branches.
- In the case of sloping ground, stand above the tree to be felled.
- Small trees, with a diameter of 15-18 cm, can usually be sawn off with one cut.
- In case of trees with a larger diameter, a notched cut and a back cut must be implemented (see below).
- If cutting and felling is being carried out by two or more persons simultaneously, the distance between the felling and cutting persons must be at least twice the height of the tree to be fellled. When felling trees, ensure that no other persons are subject to hazards and that no material damage is caused. If a tree should come into contact with a power line, the supply company must be informed immediately.
- Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.

Do not fell any trees when a strong or changing wind is blowing, if the danger of property damage exists or if the tree could fall on electric wires.

Immediately after termination of the sawing procedure, remove the ear protection so that you can hear hooter and alarm signals.

1. Removal of branches:

Remove hanging branches by positioning the cut from above the branch. With removal of branches, never work higher than shoulder level.

2. Escape area:

Remove the undergrowth around the tree to ensure an easy escape. The escape area (1) should be around 45^ either side behind the planned felling direction (2).

3. Cutting notch (A):

Make a felling notch in the direction in which you wish the tree to fall. Start with an upper sawing cut.

Now make a sawcut below, which runs horizontally and en- counters the upper sawcut exactly.

The depth of cut of the notch should be approx. 1/3 of the trunk diameter and the cutting angle at least 45^ .

Never step in front of a tree which is notched.

4. Felling back cut (B):

Make the back cut from the other side of the log, where you stand to the left of the log and saw with the chainsaw pulling. The back cut must run horizontally not less than 5 cm above the horizontal notched cut.

The back cut should be so deep that the separation distance between the back cut and the notch cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part

of the log not sawed through is designated as a break dimension.

Slide a cutting wedge or crowbar into the felling cut as soon as the cutting depth so permits, in order to prevent the blade from getting jammed. When the felling cut nears the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If it becomes apparent that the tree might not fall into the desired direction or if it bends back, and if the chainsaw is stuck, discontinue the felling cut and use wooden, plastic or aluminium wedges to open the cut and fell the tree to fall into the desired fall line.

1. If the trunk diameter is larger than the length of the chain bar, make two cuts.

For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter.

1. After carrying out of the back cut, the tree falls by itself or with the aid of the felling wedge or crowbar..

As soon as the tree begins to fall, pull out the saw from the section, stop the motor, place the electric chainsaw down and leave the workplace using the withdrawal path.

Maintenance and cleaning

Basically, carry out maintenance and cleaning works with switched-off motor and power plug removed. Danger of injury! Leave any maintenance and servicing work not covered by this manual to our Service-Center. Use only original spare parts. Allow the machine to cool down before all maintenance and cleaning works. Danger of burn injuries!

Maintenance intervals

Regularly carry out the maintenance operations listed in the following table. The life of the saw is extended by regular maintenance of your chainsaw. Furthermore, you get optimum cutting performance and avoid accidents.

Maintenance Interval Table

Machine part Action		Before every use	After 10 hours of operation
Components of the chain brake	Check, replace if required	√
Sprocket chain wheel	Check, replace if required	√
Saw chain	Check oil, regrind or replace if required	√
Guide bar Check, turn	round, clean and oil	√	√

Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of gas, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents or gas for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint brush or whisk for that. Do not use any liquids to clean the chain. After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the machine with a paint brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning..

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly. In this way, you keep the chain sharp and get optimum machine performance. In case of damage due to inadequate maintenance of the saw chain, the guarantee claim is invalid.

Remove the power plug and use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once weekly, depending on which comes first.
• Before oiling, the chain bar must be cleaned thoroughly, in particular the teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint tip (available in the specialist trade). Place individual oil drops onto the articulated links and onto the tooth tips of the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened saw chain increases the danger of spring-back! Use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

A sharp chain guarantees an optimal cutting performance. It eats effortlessly through the wood and leaves large, long wooden chips.

A saw chain is blunt if you have to press the cutting equipment through the wood and the wooden chips are very small. In the case of a very blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings result at all, only sawdust.

- The sawing parts of the chain are the cutting elements, which consist of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting projection. The vertical separation distance between these two determines the sharpness depth.

- The following values must be noted in sharpening the cutting teeth:

• Sharp edge angle (30°)
• Breast angle (85°)
• Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
• Round file diameter (4.0 mm)

0,65 mm 85° 60° 30° 2 d/2

Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident!

Special tools are necessary for sharpening the chain, which guarantee that the cutting edges are sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. For the inexperienced user of chainsaws, we recommend to have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist or a specialist workshop. If you think yourself capable of sharpening the chain, you can acquire the special tools in the specialist trade.

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer to the section on operating the saw). The chain should be well-tensioned to ensure proper sharpening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file with 4.0 mm diameter is necessary.

Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

1. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the file when you are withdrawing it.
2. Sharpen first the teeth on one side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.
3. The chain is worn and must be replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.
4. After the sharpening, all cutting elements must now be equal in length and width.
5. After every third sharpening, the sharpness depth (depth limitation) must be checked and the height filed with the aid of a flat file. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it off a little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is described in the chapter: Starting operation, tensioning chainsaw.

• Switch off the saw and pull out the power plug.
• Check the chain tension regularly and adjust as often as possible. When pulling on the saw chain with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) tensile force, the saw chain and blade must have a gap of no more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force decreases after some time. Therefore you must re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.

Never attach a new chain to a worn drive pinion or place onto a damaged or worn chain bar. The chain could spring back or break, potentially leading to serious injury.

Maintaining the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

The blade must be inverted every 8-10 working hours in order to guarantee even wear (see chapter “initial operation”).

1. Switch off the saw and pull out the power plug.

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering, the saw chain and the chain bar.

3. Check the chain bar for wear. Remove burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a flat file.

4. Clean the oil passages (23) of the chain bar, in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar, chainsaw and sprocket chain wheel covering and tighten the chainsaw.

With the oil nozzles in good condition and the oil regulator set correctly, the saw chain will spray a little oil off after starting.

Storage

• Clean the equipment before putting it away.
• Empty the oil tank before longer periods of non-use. Dispose of waste oil environmentally correctly (see „Waste disposal and environmental protection“).
• Put on saw bar protection sheath.
• Store the appliance in a dry place well out of reach of children.

Waste disposal and environmental protection

Do not dispose of used oil in the sewage system or drains. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally correct manner - bring it to a waste disposal center.

Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool, accessories and packaging to a recycling centre when you have finished with them.
