WARNING
Danger of injury!
Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying
out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool
change, etc.) and when transporting and storing it.
There is a risk of injury if the on/off switch is operated
unintentionally.
WARNING
Danger of injury when handling the saw
chain or the blade!
–
Wear cut-resistant gloves.
Note:
• A new saw chain stretches and needs to be re-ten-
sioned more often. Check and adjust the chain ten-
sion regularly after each cut.
• Only use saw chains and blades designed for this
product.
CAUTION
An incorrectly installed saw chain leads to uncontrolled
cutting behaviour by the product!
When fitting the saw chain, observe the prescribed run-
ning direction!
• Place the product on a level, even surface.
8.1
Fit the guide bar (8) and saw chain
(7) (Fig. 2)
Note:
To fit the saw chain, it may be necessary to tilt the chain-
saw to the side.
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (9) anti-clockwise, so
that the chain cover (10) is removed.
2. Lay out the saw chain (7) in a loop so that the cutting
edges are aligned clockwise. To align the saw chain
(7), follow the symbols (arrows) on the saw chain (7)
or above the guide pin (19).
3. Place the saw chain (7) in the groove of the guide bar
(8).
4. Insert the guide bar (8) on the guide pin (19) and the
stud bolt (18). Both guide pins (19) and the stud bolt
(18) must be in the elongated hole on the guide bar
(8).
5. Guide the saw chain (7) around the chain wheel (17)
and check the alignment of the saw chain (7).
6. Fit the chain cover (10) back on.
Make sure that the chain cover (10) sits in the groove
on the housing.
7. Tighten the tensioning wheel (9) clockwise hand-tight.
8. Recheck the seating of the saw chain (7) and tension
the saw chain (7) as described under 8.2.

8.2
Tensioning the saw chain (7)
(Fig. 1)
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 (9) clockwise to ten-
sion the saw chain (7).
The saw chain (7) must not sag, although it should be
possible to pull it 1-2 millimetres away from the guide
bar (8) in the centre of the guide bar.
2. Turn the saw chain (7) by hand, to check it runs freely.
It must glide freely in the guide bar (8).
The chain tension and chain lubrication have a consider-
able influence on the service life of the saw chain.
The saw chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag
on the 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 guide bar
must not be more than 2 mm apart.
Note:
• 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.
• If the saw chain sags or the spring tensioner is defec-
tive, contact a specialist workshop.
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.
8.3
Topping up saw chain oil (Fig. 3)
DANGER
Always switch off the product and let the motor cool
down before filling with oil. There is a risk of fire if oil
overflows.
