• Only in case of use of biological oil: As some biological
oils may tend to incrustation after a time, the oiling system
should be rinsed thoroughly before storing the chain saw for
a longer period. Therefore, please fill half of the oil reservoir
(about 50 ml) with chainsaw cleaner and close it as usually.
Then switch on the chainsaw - without bar and chain being
mounted - and keep it running until the total rinsing liquid
has evapurated through the oil opening of the chain saw.
Before using the chain saw again, it is absolutely necessary
to refill the oil reservoir.
• Do not store the saw outdoors or in damp and moist areas.
• Check all the chain saw parts, in particular the chain,
bar and sprocket, of wear after every use.
• Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain is
too loose, it may come off during use and lead to injuries.
The chain must be replaced immediately if it is damaged.
The cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm long.
• Check the motor housing and power cable after every
use for damage. If there is any sign of damage, have
the chain saw checked by a specialised workshop or
the works after-sales service.
• Check the oil level and lubrication of your chain saw
after every use. Insufficient lubrication leads to damage
to the chain, bar and motor.
• Check how keen the chain is every time before you use the
chain saw. A blunt chain will cause overheating of the motor.
• Sharpening a saw chain requires experience and spe-
cialised knowledge. We therefore recommend to have
sharpening carried out by a specialised workshop.

10. In the case of technical problems

• The machine does not start up: Check whether the
current socket is live. Check whether the power cable is
undamaged. If neither case applies, take the chain saw to
a specialised workshop or the works after-sales service.
• Chain does not run: Check position of handguard (see
ill. 7). Chain only runs if handguard brake is released.
• Sparks fly at the motor: Motor or carbon brushes
damaged. Take the chain saw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
• Oil does not flow: Check the oil level. Clean the oil
flow openings in the bar (see also the corresponding
hints of "Maintenance and servicing). If this is not suc-
cessful, take the chain saw to a specialised work-shop
or the works after-sales service.
Attention: Any maintenance or repair work going be-
yond that described in these Operating Instructions
may only be carried out by authorised persons or
the works after-sales service.
Attention: If the power supply lead of this device
shows any defects, the lead must be replaced by
an authorized repair shop only or through the
manufacturer's own service personnel, as this
work requires special tools.

11. Repair Service

Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried out
by specialist electrical personnel.

12. Waste disposal and environmental protection

If your grass trimmer should become useless some-
where in the future or you do not need it any longer, do
not dispose of the device together with your domestic
refuse, but dispose of it in an environmentally friendly
manner. Please dispose of the device itself at an ac-
cording collecing/ recycling point. By doing so, plastic
and metal parts can be separated and recycled. Informa-
tion concerning the disposal of materials and devices are
available from your local administration.
