Checking the chain
brake
The motor cannot be turned on if
the chain brake has engaged.
1. Place the device on a level, stable base
and remove the blade bar's protective
cover (16).
The saw chain (9) must not touch
the ground or objects.
2. Switch the petrol chainsaw on, as descri-
bed in the chapter "Switching on/off".
3. With the engine running, operate the
chain brake lever (12) with your left
hand. To do so, push the chain brake le-
ver (12) away from the front handle (1).
The saw chain (9) should stop abruptly.
4. If the chain brake is working properly,
operate the on/off switch (24) "O" and
release the chain brake by pulling the
chain brake lever (12) towards the front
handle (1).
If the chain brake does not
work properly, do not use the
petrol chainsaw. There is a risk of
injury from the trailing saw chain.
Have the petrol chainsaw repaired
by our customer service. Contact
our service centre for this.

Checking chain lubrication

Before starting work, check the oil level in
the function of the chain lubrication.
The blade bar and saw chain must
never be operated without oil. If the
petrol chainsaw is used with too little oil,
the cutting performance and lifespan of the
saw chain will decrease as the saw chain
will become blunt more quickly. You can
identify when there is too little oil if smoke
develops or the blade bar changes colour.
1. Switch the petrol chainsaw on, as descri-
bed in the chapter "Switching on/off".
2. Hold it above clear ground. The petrol
chainsaw should not touch the ground!
If a trace of oil appears, the petrol
chainsaw is working flawlessly.
Pay attention to the wind direction
and do not expose yourself unneces-
sarily to such lubricating oil mist.
If a small trace of oil appears:
Adjust the oil flow.
Illustration : On the underside of the
chainsaw is a screw (25) with which you
can control the oil flow:
Anticlockwise rotation: high oil flow
Clockwise rotation: low oil flow
If no trace of oil appears:
Clean the oil passage (
fault-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain
during operation.

Use a brush or a cloth to help remove resi-
dues from the oil passage (28).
Removing the blade bar/saw chain,
see chapter "Removing/mounting
the blade bar".
If cleaning the oil passage is unsuc-
cessful, have the petrol chainsaw re-
paired by our customer service. Contact
our service centre for this.
