and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9):
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item
21) and then open the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 20) 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 cover (Item 21).

6. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.

6.1 Using the shoulder strap

Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the equipment. Switch off the
equipment before you take off the shoulder strap
(Otherwise there is a risk of injury.)
1. Fig. 10: Hook the carabiner (T) into the strap
holder (E).
2. Fig. 11: Place the shoulder strap (4) over your
shoulder and adjust the length of the strap so
that the strap attachment is at waist level.
3. Fig. 12: The shoulder strap is equipped with a
buckle. Fold the fastener up in the direction of
the arrow if you need to put the device down
quickly.
Warning! Never wear the strap diagonally over
the shoulder and chest. Always wear it over the
shoulder only, as this allows you to remove the
device quickly from your body in the event of
danger.
6.2 Setting the telescopic tube (Fig. 13)
1. Open (a) the telescopic tube lock (8).
2. Pull out the telescopic tube (9) until it reaches
the required working height.
3. Close (b) the telescopic tube lock (8) again.

6.3 Connecting to the mains supply

•
Connect the power cable to a suitable ex-
tension cable. Make sure that the extension
cable is designed for the power rating of the
chainsaw.
•
Secure the extension cable as shown in Fig.
14 to protect it against pulling forces and ac-

cidental disconnection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a professio-
nally installed safety mains outlet with ground
contact. We recommend using a cable with
a bright and highly visible color, e.g. red or
yellow. This will reduce the risk of accidentally
damaging it with the chainsaw.
6.4 On/Off switch
Switching on
•
Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both
hands (thumbs under the additional handle).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 14/
Item R).
•
To switch on the chainsaw, activate the ON/
OFF switch (Fig. 14/Item 3). You can then re-
lease the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 14/Item 3).
Always disconnect the mains plug when you stop
working, even if it is only for a short time.

7. Working with the chainsaw

Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the
following points before every use and in the event
of any damage:
Condition of the chainsaw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for
damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw
chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw
which is obviously damaged. - Danger of acci-
dent!
Danger! The protective devices must not be re-
moved or modifi ed. - Danger of accident! Never
use the saw if the safety equipment is not working
properly. Never try to repair safety related pro-
tection systems yourself – always have any work
done by our service department or by a similarly
qualifi ed workshop.
Use only the accessories and spare parts appro-
ved by the manufacturer, otherwise there is a risk
of accidents or damage to the equipment.
Oil container
Fill level of the oil container. Even while working,
keep checking that suffi cient oil is in the system.
To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the
