OPERATION
To remove the battery pack from the tool (Fig. G)
1.
Press the battery pack release button.
2.
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
Check before starting!
DANGER! Risk of injury! The device must only be put into operation if no faults are found. If
any part of the device is defective, it must be replaced before the next use.
Check the safety equipment and the safe condition of the device.
– Check all parts to make sure they fit tightly.
– Check whether there are visible defects: broken parts, cracks, etc.
Switching ON and OFF (Fig. H)
The use of the one hand power saw without lubricating the chain with chain oil will damage
the saw chain and the guide bar.
1.
Hold the one hand power saw firmly and securely by the handgrip. To switch on the
machine, first press the safety switch and then press the ON/OFF switch.
2.
To switch off the saw, release the ON/ OFF switch.
Break-in time for new saw chains
1.
Remove the battery and adjust the chain tension.
2.
Switch on the machine and leave the motor running idle for approx. 5 minutes.
3.
Remove the battery and check the chain tension again. If necessary, retighten the chain.
4.
Afterwards make only easy cuts for approx. 30 minutes. Always ensure sufficient
lubrication of the saw chain! Only use the one hand power saw for heavier cuts and
greater cutting depths after the running-in period has expired.
-
Use only sharp saw chains. Blunt saw chains can jam more easily. Check the chain
tension more frequently when working with new saw chains, as the chain stretches more
at first.
-
The service life of a saw chain depends on sufficient lubrication and the correct tension.
-
During operation, the chain heats up and re-tensioning may be necessary. Relax the
chain after work so that it is not too tight the next time the cold machine is used.
-
Do not re-tighten saw chains that have become too hot. After it has cooled down, it may
contract and lie too tight against the sword. Wait until the saw chain has cooled down
before re-tensioning.
-
The tension of the saw chain is important for your safety and the function of the
machine. A correctly tensioned saw chain increases the service life of the machine.
-
Check the chain tension before each use.
-
The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be pulled around the sword by hand (wear
protective gloves) without sagging.
-
With new saw chains, you must readjust the chain tension again after a short period of
operation.

OPERATION
Work instructions
-
Never reach over the riving knife or under the base plate. There is a risk of injury!
-
Do not cut if the saw chain is in contact with the workpiece, is in the workpiece or may
hit an object. This can lead to serious injuries.
-
Clamp loose workpieces before cutting them. Remove foreign objects such as nails,
screws, etc.
-
When cutting a branch 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 machine out of control.
-
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.
-
When the saw chain is running. First place the base plate on the surface of the
workpiece and let the saw cut on its own. Apply only light pressure to the saw. The chain
speed should not be much slower.
Re-mounting the saw chain
Risk of injury!
Always wear gloves when handling the saw chain.
1.
Unscrew the head screw counter-clockwise in order to remove the sprocket cover. (Fig. I)
2.
Run the saw chain over the sprocket. Please note the running direction of the saw chain.
The saw chain icon is shown on the cover. (Fig. J&K)
3.
Tighten the saw chain with the chain drive cover locking knob. For tightening, turn the
screw clockwise. (Fig. L)
4.
Firmly tighten the saw chain with the chain adjusting screw. Use the included adjustment
key to tighten the screw. (Fig. M&N)
Chain lubricating oil (Fig. O)
-
Only use commercially available, biodegradable chain oils that are specially designed for
use in multi saws.
-
Do not use engine oil, waste oil or other mineral oils.
