Before putting the electric chain saw into
operation, you must:
-
adjust the saw chain tension,
-
lubricate the saw chain
-
charge and insert the battery
Assembling the blade
bar and saw chain
Switch off the device and remove
the battery before carrying out any
maintenance work.
1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Turn the mounting screw (9) of the
sprocket cover in an anticlockwise
direction (
the sprocket cover (8).
3. Spread out the saw chain (11) in a
loop so that the cutting edges are
aligned in a clockwise direction. Use
the graphical symbol on the blade bar
or above the chain sprocket (18) as a
guide to align the saw chain (11).
4. Place the saw chain (10) into the blade
groove.
5. Place the saw chain (10) over the chain
sprocket (19).
6. Align the holder (20) to the chain ten-
sioner pin (21) by angling the blade
bar approx. 10-15° to the front hand
protection.
7. Pull the blade bar (9) downwards so
that the chain tensioner pin (21) locks
into the holder (20) on the blade bar (9).
8. Make sure that the saw chain (10) is in
the correct position.
9. Put the chain wheel cover (8) on.
10. Tighten the mounting screw (8) on the
threaded pin (19).

Caution! The garden pruner can be
prone to leaks.
Prior to changing the saw chain, the
groove of the guide rail must be cleaned
of dirt because dirt deposits available
can cause the saw chain to break out of
the rail. The deposits 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 provides
safety for the user and reduces and/or pre-
vents wear and chain damages. Before the
start of work and in approx. 10 minute inter-
vals, we recommend the user to examine the
chain tension and correct it, if necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
"expansions" can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the chain
when it is hot because it shrinks slight-
ly once it has cooled down. In case of
non-observance, this can lead to damages on
the guide rail or the engine because now
the chain is too taut on the blade. Chain
tension and chain lubrication have a signifi-
cant impact on the service life of the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand. When the saw chain is tensioned
