Assembly
Always wear protective gloves
when working with the chainsaw
and employ only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before
doing any work on the chainsaw
itself -– injury hazard!
Before putting the electric chain saw into
operation, you must:
-
install the blade, saw chain and chain
cover where necessary,
-
adjust the saw chain tension,
-
pour in chain oil,
-
check the function of the chain brake
and the automatic oil pump.
Mounting the saw chain and
blade
1. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
2. Turn the fastening bolt (7) anti-
clockwise
the sprocket chain wheel cover-
ing (8).
3. Spread the chain (5) out into a
loop with the cutting edges run-
ning clockwise .
4. Slide the saw chain (5) into the
bar guide groove. To mount the
guide bar (4), raise it to an angle
of approx. 45 degrees. This will
make it easier to replace the
saw chain (5) onto the sprocket
(24).
5. Place the chain bar (4) and saw
chain (5) on the bar bolts (23).
When the nose on the right be-
low the bar bolt (23) sits in the
round recess on the blade, the
blade is placed correctly. It is
normal for the saw chain (5) to
sag.

to remove
It is normal that the saw chain
(5) is slack.
6. Pre-tension the saw chain (5) by
turning the screw for the chain
quick-tensioning system (9) in
clockwise direction.
7. Position the sprocket chain
wheel covering (8). First place
the tab (25) on the cover into
the corresponding notch on the
plate (8). Tighten the fastening
bolt (7).
Note that the saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after
use and oil may leak out if it is stored on
its side or on the head. This is a normal
process due to the necessary ventila-
tion opening on the upper edge of the
tank and does not constitute a reason for
complaint. As each saw is checked dur-
ing production and tested with oil, a small
residue may be in the tank despite drain-
ing, which may slightly dirty the housing
with oil in transit. Please clean the hous-
ing with a cloth.
Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the
guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because
dirt deposits available can cause the
chain to break out of the rail. The depos-
its can also absorb the chain oil. So the
consequence would be that the chain oil
would not or only a small part of it would
reach the underside of the rail and the
lubrication would be reduced.
Tensioning the saw chain
Regularly tightening the saw chain pro-
vides safety for the user and reduces
and/or prevents wear and chain dam-
