To release the chain brake, pull the hand guard towards the handle (see following figure).
Checking the chain brake
Place the chainsaw on a safe surface. Release the chain brake. Hold the chainsaw with both hands.
Turn on the chainsaw. The saw chain is now running. Tilt the hand guard towards the tip of the saw
bar. The chain must stop immediately!
Otherwise, do not use the chainsaw and have it repaired by a qualified professional or a specialist
workshop.
Clean the visible mechanisms of the chain brake regularly after work to remove chips and sawdust.
Chain lubrication
CAREFUL!
The device may only be operated with sufficient chain lubricating oil. Insufficient lubrication reduces
the service life of the device.
Check the oil quantity by means of the oil level indicator and top up the tank with oil if necessary
(Figure 1, point 3)
CAREFUL!
Only fill environmentally friendly quality chain lubricating oil (according to RAL-UZ 48) into the
chainsaw.
Do not use used oil. Used oil can cause skin cancer with prolonged and repeated skin contact and is
harmful to the environment! Used oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is
unsuitable for chain lubrication.
Oil other than the recommended oil can cause damage to the bar, chain and lubrication system.
Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank.
Avoid spilling oil. Be sure to wipe up any spilled oil.
