Operation startup

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 you start up the electric chainsaw,
install the blade and fit the saw chain
adjust the chain, fill up with chain oil and
check the automatic lubrication and chain
brake function.
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.
Fitting the blade and saw
G
chain
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from
the mains.
2. Spread the chain (5) out into a loop
with the cutting edges running clock-
wise .
3. 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 (23). It is normal that the saw
chain (5) is slack. Sagging in the chain
is normal.
4. Pre-tighten the chain (5) by turning the
tensioning plate (22) clockwise.
5. Position the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering (15). First place the tab (24) on
the cover into the corresponding notch
on the plate (15). Only lightly tighten
the fastening bolt (14), as you will still
have to tension the saw.
