Securing the extension lead
Only use extension leads suitable for outdoor use. The cross section of the cable
(max. length of extension cord: 75m) must be at least 1,5 mm2. secure the chainsaw
flex to the extension lead by inserting the extension lead into the strain relief gap of
the housing. Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the performance of the
chainsaw.
Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide bar must be evenly lubricated
during operation. Lubrication is automatic. Never work without chain lubrication. If the
chain runs dry, the entire cutting apparatus will quickly become severely damaged. It is
therefore important to check both chain lubrication and the oil gauge every use.
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the "Min." mark.
● Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at the lower rim of the oil gauge (15),
you must top up with oil.
● Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
Checking the automatic lubrication
Before commencing work, check the automatic chain lubrication and oil gauge. Switch
on the chain saw and hold it above the ground. Be careful not to allow the chain saw
to touch the ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a clearance of at 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, the upper chain tensioning
borehole (E) and the oil duct, or contact your Customer Service.
Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and guide 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.
Guide bar
The guide bar (7) is subjected to especially severe wear and tear at the nose and the
bottom. To avoid one-sided wear and tear, turn the guide bar over every time when
you sharpen the chain.Chain lubricants The service life of saw chains and guide bars

Chain wheel
The chain wheel (16) 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.
