Chopping a tree:

Clean the working area at the trunk from molesting
perches, brushes and obstacles.
Clean thouroghly the trunk foot – sand, stones and
other foreign objects make the saw chain edgeless.
Consider the state of health of the tree – be careful
with trunks with damages or deadwood (droughty,
rotten or dead wood).
Cut a kerf with the saw of approximately one third of
the tree diameter into the trunk. First of all place the
horizontal cut and then as secondly a cut from top
in an angle of 45°.
Now saw on the opposite side of the trunk a
horizontal chopping cut. This cut should be placed a
bit higher (appr. 4 cm) than the horizontal cut of the
kerf.
By no means cut through the trunk. Appr. 1/10 of
the trunk diameter must remain. If the tree starts
falling ahead of time pull out the chain saw
immediately out of the cut and step back or to the
side.
Push a key into the horizontal chopping cut in order
to make the tree falling.
Pay attention, when tree starts falling, to perches or
twigs falling down.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning
work
− switch off device
− wait for stop of chain saw
− pull out main plug
Further maintenance and cleaning works than described in
this chapter shall only be carried out by the manufacturer
or companies named by the manufacturer.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices
must unconditionally be mounted properly and proved
again.
Use only original parts. Other parts can result in
unexpected damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to aviod possible injuries wear gloves.
To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the chain saws
carry out the following maintainance works regularly.
Check the chain saw for obvious defects such as
− loose, hung out or damaged saw chain
− loose fastenings
− worn or damaged components
Check the chain saw after each application for
− wear, especially chain, sword and chain wheel.
− correctly assembled and faultless covers and protective
devices.
Necessary repair works or maintainance works have to be
carried out before the usage of the chain saw.

Sharpening of saw chain

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary.
The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.
You also get chain sharpening devices in a specialised
shop (filing devices) with which you can sharpen your saw
chain yourself.
You can only work safely and well with a sharp and
clean saw chain.

Exchanging saw chain and sword

Saw chain and sword are exposed to great wearing
demands. Immediately exchange saw chain and sword
when the faultless function is not guaranteed.
Put the chain saw with motor facing downward on an
even face.
Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening
3
screw (11).
Turn the chain clamper (22) anti-clockwise in order to
release the saw chain a bit.
Take off the sword with saw chain.
Clean the guide slot thouroughly when only the saw
chain is exchanged.
When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are
lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain
wheel (13).
4
Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain
is clamped.
Now, refasten the cover (10) and clamp the saw chain
as described in paragraph „Clamping of saw chain".

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (13) is particularly great.
Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or
damages.
A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability of
the saw chain and should therefore immediately be
exchanged by the customer service.

Checking of the oil automatic

Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by
switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike in
direction of a carton or paper on the ground.
Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain.
Keep a safe distance of 20 cm.
If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil
automatic works faultless.
If there is no oil track despite full oil tank
clean the oil flow canal (14) and the upper chain
clamping boring (15)
If this is not successful please contact the customer
service.
