least 20 cm. If you now see growing traces of oil, the
chain lubrication system is working correctly. If there
are no traces of oil at all, try cleaning the oil outlet
(4), the upper chain tensioning borehole (14) and the
oil duct, or contact your Customer Service.
Regulating the oil flow
Adjust the oil flow by turning the oil regulating screw
(23). In the case of damp and soft wood the oil flow
can be decreased (turn the oil regulating screw
clockwise); in the case of dry, hard would more oil is
required for lubrication (turn the oil regulating screw
anti-clockwise)
12. Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and chain bars
depends to a large extent on the quality of the
lubricant used. Old oil must not be used! Use only
environment-friendly chain lubricant. Store chain
lubricant only in containers which comply with the
regulations.
13. Chain bar
The chain bar (8) is subjected to especially severe
wear and tear at the nose and on the bottom. To
avoid one-sided wear and tear, turn the chain bar
over (8) every time you sharpen the chain.
14. Chain wheel
The chain wheel (12) is subjected to especially high
wear and tear. If you notice deep wear marks on the
teeth, the chain wheel must be replaced. A worn
chain wheel curtails the service life of the saw chain.
Have the chain wheel replaced by a specialist dealer
or your Customer Service.
15. Chain guard
The chain guard (20) must be clipped onto the chain
and sword as soon as the sawing work has been
completed and whenever the machine has to be
transported.
16. Chain brake
In the event of kick-back, the chain brake will be
actuated via the front finger guard (2). The front fin-
ger guard (2) is pushed forwards by the back of the
hand and this causes the chain brake to stop the
chain saw, or rather the motor, within 0.10 s.

17. Releasing the chain brake
To be able to use your chain saw again, you must
release the saw chain again. First switch off the
machine. Then push the front finger guard (2) back
into the vertical position until it locks in place. The
chain brake is now fully functional again.
18. Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and
correctly by specialist dealers, from whom you can
also obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable
you to sharpen the chain yourself. Please follow the
corresponding operating instructions.
Take care of your tools. Keep your tools sharp and
clean to enable you to work well and safely. Follow
the maintenance regulations and the instructions for
changing tools.
19. Starting up
Always wear safety goggles, ear muffs,
protective gloves and heavy-duty work clothes!
Use the saw only with approved extension cables
with the prescribed insulation and connections
designed for outdoor use (approved rubber-sheathed
cables) which fit the machine plug. The chain saw is
equipped with a two-handed safety switch. The
machine works only when one hand holds the front
grip (1) and the other hand actuates the switch on
the rear grip (10).
If the chain saw does not run, the chain
i
brake must be released at the front
finger guard (2). Be sure to read the
sections „Chain brake" and „Releasing
the chain brake" on this point.
After switching on, the chain saw will run
immediately at high speed.
To switch off: Release either the switch o the front
grip (1) or the ON/OFF switch (18) on the rear grip.
After working with the chain saw, you should
always: Clean the saw chain and chain bar and
replace the chain guard.
