8. WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Transporting the chainsaw
Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the plug from the power socket and slide the chain guard over
the rail and chain. If several cuts are to be performed with the chain saw, the saw must be switched off between
cuts.
Securing the extension lead
Only use extension leads suitable for outdoor use.
The cross section of the cable (max. length of extension cord: 75 m) must be at least 2,5 mm
chainsaw fl ex to the extension lead by inserting the extension lead into the strain relief gap of the housing (Fig.
M).Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the performance of the chainsaw.
Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide bar must be evenly lubricated during operation. Lubrication
is automatic. Never work without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the entire cutting apparatus will quickly
become severely damaged.
It is therefore important to check both chain lubrication and the oil gauge every use (Fig. 4).
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the "Min." mark.
Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at the lower rim of the oil gauge (15), you must top up with oil.
Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and guide bars depends to a large extent on the quality of the lubricant used. Old
oil must not be used! Use only environment- friendly chain lubricant. Store chain lubricant only in containers
which comply with the regulations.
Guide bar
The guide bar (7) is subjected to especially severe wear and tear at the nose and the bottom. To avoid one-sided
wear and tear, turn the guide bar over every time when you sharpen the chain.
Chain wheel
The chain wheel (16) is subjected to especially high wear and tear. If you notice deep wear marks on the teeth,
the chain wheel must be replaced. A worn chain wheel curtails the service life of the saw chain.
Have the chain wheel replaced by a specialist dealer or your Customer Service.
Chain guard
The chain guard must be clipped onto the chain and sword as soon as the sawing work has been completed
and whenever the chainsaw has to be transported.
Chain brake
In the event of kick-back, the chain brake (3) will be actuated via the front fi nger guard. The front fi nger guard is
pushed forwards by the back of the hand and this causes the chain brake to stop the chain saw, or rather the
motor, within 0. 1 5 s (Fig 5, H).
