Lubrication

A B
Important: The chain saw is not supplied
filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil
before use. Never operate the chain saw
without chain oil or at an empty oil tank
level, as this will result in extensive dam-
age to the product.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically
oiled during operation via the oil outlet 19.
Filling oil tank:
– Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil
filler cap 4 facing upward.
– Clean area around the oil filler cap 4 with cloth,
unscrew cap.
– Do not remove filter insert during filling.
– Add Bosch biodegradable chain saw oil until tank
is full.
– Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler
cap 4 and tighten.
Important: To allow venting of the oil res-
ervoir,small breather channels are pro-
vided between the oil filler cap and the
strainer, to prevent leakage ensure ma-
chine is left in a horizontal position (oil
filler cap 4 uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the recommended bi-
odegradable oil to avoid damage to the chain
saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non ap-
proved oil will invalidate the warranty.

Starting and Stopping

B
Observe the correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the value given
on the nameplate of the machine. Machines desig-
nated for 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
Hold chain saw as described in "Cutting".
For switching on the machine, press the lock-off
button 3, then fully press the On/Off switch 2 and
hold in this position. The lock-off button 3 can now
be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off switch 2.
Do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating
the front hand guard (kickback brake).

Kickback Brake/
D
Run Down Brake
The chain saw is equipped with two chain brake sys-
tems for user safety:
The run down brake automatically stops the chain
and motor after the switch lever (On/Off) 2 is re-
leased.
The kickback brake is a safety mechanism acti-
vated through the front hand guard 5, when kickback
occurs. Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals. Push front hand guard 5 forward
(position ) that the red marker 28 under indicator 6
is visible and start the chain saw. The chain must not
start. To deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand
guard 5 backwards (position
marker 28 under the indicator 6 is covered.
Cutting
Before Cutting
Before and periodically during cutting check as fol-
lows:
– Is the chain saw in a fail-safe condition?
– Is the oil tank filled? Check oil level gauge 26
B
prior to starting and regularly during operation.
Refill oil when oil level is low. The oil tank filling
will last approx. 15 minutes, depending on saw-
ing intensity and stops.
– Is the chain tension in order and is the chain
sharp? Check chain tension every 10 minutes
during operation. Upon initial operation, new
chains can lengthen considerably. The condition
of the chain influences the the cutting perform-
ance. Only a sharp chain protects from overload.
– Is the kickback brake deactivated and its function
ensured?
– Are you wearing the necessary protective equip-
ment? Wear safety glasses and hearing protec-
tion. Further protective equipment for head, hand,
legs and feet is recommend. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying de-
bris or accidental contact with saw chain.
Kickback
D
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of
the chain saw, occuring when the chain (at the tip of
the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood,
or when the chain becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts unpred-
icably and can cause severe injuries to the operator
or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when sawing
sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the grip-
ping teeth 12 usually can not be applied.
