Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
  • Service and clean the appliance regularly.
  • Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
  • Do not overload the appliance.

• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
  • Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
  • Wear protective gloves.

5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!

Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Danger! Do not fit the battery until the chainsaw has been fully assembled and the chain tension has been set. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

5.1 Fitting the cutter rail and saw chain

• Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are complete (Fig. 2-3).
• Undo the fastening screw of the chain wheel cover (9) (Fig. 4).
  • Take off the chain wheel cover (8) (Fig. 5).
• Lay the chain (16) as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (15) (Fig. 6a/Item A).
• Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown into the mounting of the cordless chainsaw. As you do so, guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 6b and 6c/ Item B).
• Attach the chain wheel cover and secure it with the fastening screw (9) (Fig. 7). Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension (see section 5.2).

5.2 Tensioning the saw chain

Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

• Undo the fastening screw of the chain wheel cover (9) a few turns (Fig. 4).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 8/ Item 10). Turning the screw clockwise increases the tension, turning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 9).
• Tighten the fastening screw of the chain wheel cover (9) (Fig. 7).
  Danger! All of the chain links must lie proper-

GB

ly in the guide groove of the cutter rail.

Notes on tensioning the chain:

The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, please check the chain tension every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have fi nished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

5.3 Saw chain lubrication

Warning! Always pull out the battery before performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Notice! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the "min" mark (Fig. 10/ Item B) will damage the chainsaw.

Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions: different lubricants with completely different viscosities are required at different ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a sufficient lubricating fi Im. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating fi Im could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants.

Filling the oil tank:

• Keep away from ignition sources.
• Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Fig. 10/Item 7) and then clean the oil tank cover.
• Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
• Close the oil tank cover.

5.4 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 11-12) The battery is protected from exhaustive discharge. An integrated protective circuit automatically switches off the equipment when the battery is flat.

Warning! Do not actuate the On/Off switch any more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may damage the battery.

1. Remove the battery pack from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (13) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (18) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 12 (Charger indicator) you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

• voltage at the power socket
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charger and charging adapter

• and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

GB

5.5 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 12)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (C). The battery capacity indicator (D9) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:

The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED fl ashes:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

6. Operation

6.1 Switching on/off

Switching on

• Plug in the battery on the equipment.
- Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both hands as shown in Fig. 13 (thumbs under the handles).
- Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 5).
- Switch on the chainsaw at the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release the safety lock-off.

Switching off

Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).

The integrated brake will bring the running chain-saw to a standstill within a very short space of time. Always disconnect the mains plug when you stop working, even if it is only for a short time.

Warning! Always carry the saw by the front handle. If the saw is plugged in and you carry it by the rear handle (which is where the switches are located), then there is a risk that you could accidentally press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could inadvertently start up.

6.2 Safety devices

Motor brake

The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the power supply is interrupted. This significantly reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be present if the chain continued to run after being switched off or disconnected.

Chain brake

The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is triggered via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2). If kickback causes the chainsaw to suddenly jerk back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check the operation of the chain brake on a regular basis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) forward and briefly switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain must not start up. Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until it engages to release the chain brake.

Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equipment is not working properly. Never try to repair safety related protection systems yourself – always have any work done by our service department or by a similarly qualified workshop.

Hand guard

The front hand guard (which also acts as the chain brake at the same time) (Fig. 1/Item 2) and the rear hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 14) protect against fi nger injuries resulting from contact with the saw chain if the chain breaks because it is overloaded.

7. Working with the chainsaw

7.1 Preparations

To ensure that you can work safely, check the following points before every use:

Condition of the chain saw

Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw which is obviously damaged.

Oil container

Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that sufficient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil

GB

drops below the "min" mark (Fig. 10/Item B). On average, a single fi lling will last around 15 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved.

Saw chain

Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chainsaw. The same also applies to the chain tension. Again, while working also check the chain tension every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety. New saw chains in particular often tend to expand more.

Chain brake

Check the operation of the chain brake as described in the chapter "Safety devices" and then release it.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

• Remove the battery each time before cleaning.
• Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids in order to clean it.

8.1 Cleaning

• Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
- Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a firm grip.
- Clean the device as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
- If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended period of time then you should remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in oil paper.

8.2 Maintenance

Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail

The cutter rail needs to be replaced if
• the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;
- the nose sprocket in the cutter rail is damaged or worn.

Remove the adapter plate (Item 19) from the cutter rail as shown in Fig. 15. Now fit the adapter

plate to the new cutter rail. Proceed as described in the section "Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain".

Checking the automatic chain lubrication

You should check the operation of the automatic chain lubrication system on a regular basis in order to guard against overheating and the associated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this process then the automatic chain lubrication system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the corresponding instructions in "Troubleshooting". If the information contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service department or another similarly qualified workshop.

Danger! Do not actually touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm).

Sharpening the saw chain

Eff ective working with the chainsaw is only possible if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience.

8.3 Transport

Engage the chain brake.

To avoid injury, always carry the device with the cutter rail guard fitted. Follow the generally applicable regulations on securing loads.
