Switching off
• To switch off, release the on/off switch (13) on the
rear handle (1).
• When switching off with the on/off switch (13), the
electric chainsaw stops in 1 second, in case of vi-
olent sparking. However, this is completely normal
and it does not affect the proper functioning of the
electric chainsaw.
• After working with the electric chainsaw: Always
clean the saw chain (4) and the blade (7), and refit
the chain guard.
• When the chain brake (3) is triggered, the electric
chainsaw is immediately deactivated
10. Working instructions
Transport of the electric chainsaw
Before transporting the electric chainsaw, always re-
move the mains plug from the socket and fit the chain
guard over the blade (7) and the saw chain (4). If sev-
eral cuts are to be made with the electric chainsaw,
the saw must be switched off between cuts.
Extension cable
Only extension cables designed for outdoor use may
be used. The cable cross-section (max. length of the
extension cable: 75 m) must be at least 2.5 mm². For
safety, the extension cable must end in a loop that is
passed through the strain relief on the housing (Fig.
M).
Extension cables longer than 30 m have a detrimen-
tal effect on the performance of the electric chainsaw.
Lubrication of the chain
To protect against excessive wear, the saw chain (4)
and guide rail (7) must be lubricated evenly during
operation. Lubrication takes place automatically.
Never work without chain lubrication. If the saw chain
(4) runs dry, the entire cutting fixture will be severely
damaged within a short time.
Therefore, always check the chain lubrication and oil
level before starting work (Fig. 4).
Do not operate the saw if the oil level is below the
"Min" mark.
• Min.: If the oil level on the indicator (15) is only 5
mm above the lower mark, oil must be topped up.
• Max.: Fill with oil until the maximum level is indicat-
ed on the indicator (15).
Chain lubricant
The durability of the saw chain (4) and guide rail (7)
is also largely determined by the quality of the lubri-
cant used. Do not use used oil! Only use environmen-
tally friendly lubricant. The chain lubricant may only
be stored in containers that comply with the relevant
regulations.

Blade
The blade (7) is heavily stressed especially at the tip
(nose) and at the bottom. To avoid one-sided wear,
turn the blade (7) around when sharpening the saw
chain (4).
Chain wheel
The sprocket (16) is subjected to particularly high
stress. If you find deep signs of wear on the teeth,
the sprocket (16) must be replaced. A worn sprocket
(16) shortens the service life of the saw chain (4). The
sprocket (16) must be replaced at a specialist dealer
or by a specialist company.
Chain guard
The chain guard must be fitted over the saw chain (4)
and guide rail (7) immediately after finishing work and
during transport.
Chain brake
In the event of the saw kicking back, the chain brake
(3) is released via the front hand guard (3). The front
hand guard (3) is pressed forward with the back of
the hand. This causes the chain brake (3) to bring the
electric chainsaw or the motor to a standstill within
0.15 sec. (Fig. 5, H).
Releasing the chain brake (Fig. 5)
To make the saw ready for operation again, the block-
ing of the saw chain (4) must be released. To do this,
first switch off the electric chainsaw.
Then fold the front hand guard (3) back into its verti-
cal starting position until it clicks into place (Fig. 5, I).
This makes the chain brake (3) fully functional again.
Electric chainsaw protection
Do not use the electric chainsaw in the rain or in wet
conditions.
Warning: If the extension cable is damaged, remove
the plug from the socket immediately. Do not work
with a damaged cable.
• Check the electric chainsaw for damage. Before
using the device again, carefully check the protec-
tive devices or any slightly damaged parts to make
sure they are working properly and as intended.
• Check the proper functioning of the moving parts.
• All parts must be properly fitted and meet all con-
ditions to ensure proper operation of the electric
chainsaw.
• Damaged safety devices and parts must be prop-
erly repaired or replaced by a specialist company,
unless otherwise specified in these operating in-
structions.
