conditions, especially if there is a risk of a
thunderstorm.
C) Warning to the danger of recoil ("kick-
back")
25. If possible, use a stand.
26. Always keep an eye on the bar tip.
27. Only place a running saw on the object to be
cut. Never start the machine while the chain
rests on something.
28. So called piercing cuts with the bar tip may
only be carried out by trained personnel.
D) Instructions on safe working techniques
29. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is
forbidden.
30. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is
being cut.
31. Watch out for splintering wood. While you
are sawing you may be injured by flying
wood chips.
32. Do not use the chainsaw to lever or move
the wood.
33. Only cut with the lower section of the saw.
The saw will be repulsed towards you if you
try and cut with the upper section of the saw.
34. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails
or other foreign objects.
35. We recommend that first-time users are
instructed practically as to the correct use
of the chainsaw and the required personal
safety equipment by an experienced operator;
the cutting of round wood or logs should be
trained on a log stand or similar rack-type
device first.
36. Keep the running chainsaw from touching
the ground or wire fences.
37. Keep people and animals away from the
cutting blade.
38. Lay the mains cable in such a way that it can-
not be caught by branches or other similar
items while sawing.

Starting up

Before starting up
The voltage and current supply must comply with the rat-
ings 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.
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chainsaw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
GB | Operating Instructions
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only chainsaw oil, i.e. oil which is 100%
biodegradable.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available everywhere
at your local specialist dealer. Do not use old oil. This
will damage the chainsaw and will also lead to loss of
the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug.
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 210 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (1).
If you plan not to use the machine for a longer period,
you should remove the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chain-
saw is transported or sent for repair.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before com-
mencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting fittings
assembled and hold over a bright background at a safe
distance (Be careful not to come in contact with the
ground!). A track of oil will show you that the chain is
sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some ab-
sorbing surface. The oil spread on the blade, chain and
drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain (Fig. 2 - 6)
• Put the chainsaw on a stable rest.
• Turn the thumb screw (7) anticlockwise
• Adjust the chain (6) on the guide plate (5) (Fig. 3). The

a) Direction + : Tighten chain
b) Direction ̶ : Loosen chain
If the device is equipped with SDS, this means that you
can loosen or tighten the chain and the bar (guide plate)
without having to use a tool. You can adjust the chain
tension using the chain tension ring (17) on the SDS.
You can use the thumb screw (7) on the SDS to loosen
or tighten the bar.
Unscrew the thumb screw (7) a little in an anticlockwise
