wheel (Fig. 7 and 8/Item 12).
•
Reinstall the chain wheel cover and secure
it with the chain tension lock knob (Fig. 9).
Important! Do not fully tighten the chain
tension lock knob until after you have
adjusted the chain tension (see section 5.2).
5.2 Tensioning the saw chain
Warning! Always pull out the battery before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the chain tension lock knob of the chain
wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 4).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain
tensioning knob (Fig. 10/Item 10). Turning the
knob clockwise increases the chain tension,
turning it counterclockwise decreases the
chain tension. The chain tension is correct
when the chain can be lifted by about 0.12"-
0.16" (3-4 mm) at the center of the bar (Fig.
11).
•
Tighten the chain tension lock knob of the
chain wheel cover (Fig. 9).
Danger! All the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension
is properly adjusted if the saw chain can be lifted
by around 0.12"-0.16" (3-4 mm) in the middle of
the bar.
As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus
changes in length, please check the chain tension
every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required.
This applies in particular to new saw chains.
When you have fi nished working, loosen the
chain again as it will shorten when it cools down.
This will help to prevent damage to the chain.
5.3 Saw chain lubrication
Warning! Always pull out the battery before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain saw if it
is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the
chain saw without saw chain oil or if the oil level
is below the "min" mark (Fig. 12/See arrow) will
damage the chain saw.

Important! Be aware of the temperature
conditions: Diff erent lubricants with completely
diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent
ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures
you will need low viscosity oils in order to
achieve a suffi cient lubricating fi lm. However,
if the same low viscosity oil is used during the
summer it will become even thinner due to the
ambient temperatures alone, and as a result
the lubricating fi lm could break down, causing
the chain to overheat and become damaged. In
addition, the chain oil would burn and produce
unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank:
•
Place the chain saw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Fig.
12/Item 7) and then open the oil tank cap.
•
Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process,
make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as
this could cause the oil nozzle to become
blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cap.
6. Operation
6.1 On/Off switch
Switching on
•
Plug in the battery on the equipment.
•
The respective power level is indicated by two
colored LED:
Level I (ECO) → green
Level II (HIGH) → blue
•
To switch between power levels I and II,
briefly press the power setting switch (Fig. 1 /
Item 21) 1x.
•
Hold the chain saw by the handles with both
hands as shown in Fig. 15 (thumbs under the
handles).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item
5).
•
Switch on the chain saw at the On/Off switch
(Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release the
safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chain
saw to a standstill within a very short space of
time. Remove the battery when you stop working,
even if it is only for a short time.
