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 chain

lubrication

Check the oil level and the chain lubrica-
tion 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.
If no oil trace can be seen clean the
oil passages or turn the chainsaw
to our Service-Center for repair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (26), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation. Use a
brush or a cloth to help remove resi-
dues from the oil passage.

it easier to take the saw chain (5)
off the sprocket (24).
5. Replace the blade and install the
blade and chain as described un-
der "Installing the sawing chain
and blade".

Sawing techniques

General

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

Felling trees

A lot of experience is neces-
sary in felling trees. Cut down
trees only when you can safely
handle the electric chainsaw.
In no case should you use the
