7. Tighten the chain tensioning wheel (18) clockwise
hand-tight.
8. Recheck the seating of the saw chain (17) and tension
the saw chain (17) as described under 8.2.
8.2 Tensioning the saw chain (17) (Fig.
6, 7)
WARNING
Risk of injury from the saw chain jumping off!
An insufficiently tensioned saw chain can come off
during operation and cause injuries.
– Check the saw chain tension frequently.
– The chain tension is too low if the drive links come
out of the groove on the underside of the guide rail.
– Adjust the tension of the saw chain properly if the
saw chain tension is too low.
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (18) clockwise to ten-
sion the saw chain (17).
The saw chain (17) must not sag, although it should
be possible to pull it 1-2 millimetres away from the
chainsaw guide bar (16) in the centre of the guide bar.
2. Turn the saw chain (17) by hand, to check it runs free-
ly. It must glide freely in the chainsaw guide bar (16).
The saw chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag
on the chainsaw guide bar and can be pulled all the way
round with a gloved hand. When pulling on the saw chain
with 9 N (approx. 1 kg) tractive force, the saw chain and
chainsaw guide bar must not be more than 2 mm apart.
Notes:
• The tension of a new chain must be checked after a
few minutes in operation, and adjusted if necessary.
• The tensioning of the saw chain should be carried out
in a clean place free from sawdust and the like.
• Correct tensioning of the saw chain is for the safety of
the user and reduces or prevents wear and chain
damage.
• We recommend that the user check the chain tension
before starting work for the first time. The saw chain is
correctly tensioned when it does not sag on the under-
side of the guide bar and can be pulled all the way
round with a gloved hand.
ATTENTION
When working with the saw, the saw chain heats up
and expands slightly as a result. This "stretching" is to
be expected especially with new saw chains.
9 Before commissioning
9.1 Topping up saw chain oil (Fig. 8)
ATTENTION
Product damage!
If the product is operated without oil or with too little oil
or with used oil, this can lead to product damage.
– Fill with oil before starting the machine. The product
is delivered without oil.
– Do not use used oil!
– Check the oil level every time you change the bat-
tery.
ATTENTION
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
– Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
– Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
– Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
– Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
– Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
The chain tension and chain lubrication have a consider-
able influence on the service life of the saw chain.
The saw chain will be lubricated automatically while the
product is running. To lubricate the saw chain sufficiently,
there must always be enough saw chain oil in the oil tank.
Check the amount of oil remaining in the oil tank at regu-
lar intervals.
Notes:
* = not included in the scope of delivery!
• The cover is equipped with an anti-loss device.
• Only add environmentally friendly, good quality chain
lubricating oil* (per RAL-UZ 48) to the chain saw.
• Ensure that the cover of the oil tank is in place and
closed before switching on the product.
1. Open the oil tank (15). To do this, unscrew the oil tank
cap (15) anti-clockwise.
2. To prevent oil from leaking, use a funnel*.
3. Carefully add the chain lubricating oil* until it reaches
the top mark on the oil level indicator (25). Oil tank ca-
pacity: max. 100 ml.
4. Screw the cover of the oil tank (15) clockwise to close
the oil tank (15).
5. Wipe up any spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth* according to local regulations.
6. To check the product lubrication, hold the chainsaw
with the saw chain over a sheet of paper and give it
full throttle for a few seconds. You can see on the pa-
per whether the chain lubrication is working.
