6 Special Product Features

• Unique safety thanks to the patented Metabo
wrap-spring chain brake. In case of a back-kick
or if the trigger is released, the chainsaw comes
to a standstill within 1/10 (!) of a second.
• Sawing chain with safety driving links to reduce
the risk of back-kicks
• Large hand-protection element. In case of a
back-kick, the hand protection is pushed
forward by the back of the operator's hand and
trips the quick brake of the chainsaw.
• Switch with lock to protect against unintentional
start of the chainsaw
• Robust motor with high power reserves

Fitting cutter and sawing chain

See illustration, page 3 (please unfold).
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Wear protective gloves.
1. Unscrew the nuts (5) and take off the chain
cover (4).
2. Turn the clamping screw (13) anticlockwise as
far as the stop to bring the chain clamping pin
(17) into its left final position.
3. Note: see illustration 1, page 3. When the chain
has been placed on the cutter, the cutting
edges of the sawing chain cutters (a) must
point in direction of rotation.
Note: the direction of rotation of the sawing
chain is indicated by the two arrows on the
chain wheel cover (4).
See illustration 1, page 3. Hold the cutter with
its front end upward and mount the sawing
chain so that the teeth (b) of the deflector star
of the cutter engage in the chain links and the
chain driving links are seated in the cutter
groove.
4. Then place the sawing chain around the chain
wheel (19) and mount the cutter with its long
hole on both stud bolts (18) so that the chain
tensioning pin (17) engages in the bore (15) of
the cutter.
5. Refit the chain wheel cover (4) and fit the nuts
(5) but do not yet tighten.
6. Turn the clamping screw (13) clockwise until
the sawing chain no longer sags at the lower
edge of the cutter. Raise the front end of the
cutter while doing this.
7. The sawing chain is correctly tensioned if, in
the middle of the cutter, it can be lifted 3 to 4
mm from the cutter upper edge (see illustration
2, page 3).
