7. INITIAL OPERATION
The voltage and current supply must comply with the ratings on the type plate.
Before commencing work, always check that the chainsaw works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil gauge are in good working order (see Fig. 4). When the oil
lever is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark, you must top up with oil. When the oil level is higher you can work
without worry.
Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the ground. Be careful not allow the chainsaw to touch the
ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing traces
of oil, the chain lubrication system is working correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try cleaning the
oil outlet (Fig 2, C) and the oil duct or contact your Customer Service. (Before doing this, please read the
relevant instructions in the „Top up chain lubricant" section).
Check the chain tension and retention, if necessary (see the section "Tensioning the saw chain" on this
point).
Make sure the chain brake is working properly (see also the section "Releasing the chain brake").
To switch on:
Release the chain brake (3), push in the lock (11) and press the power switch (13).
Place the lowest claw (Fig 2, J) on the wood. Raise the chain saw by the rear grip (1) and saw into the wood.
Move the chain saw back a little and place the claw further down.
Be careful when sawing splintered wood as pieces of wood may be ripped off.
After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately at high speed.
To switch off
Release either the ON/OFF switch (13) on the rear grip.
The release of ON/OFF switch results the stop of the chainsaw within 1sec., and heavy sparkling.
This is normal and safe for the proper operation of the chainsaw.
After working with the chainsaw, you should always: Clean the saw chain and guide bar and replace the
chain guard.
If the chain brake is activated the chainsaw will be deactivated immediately.
