Vibration
Vibration front handle .................................. 8.98 m/s²
Vibration rear handle ................................... 8.03 m/s²
Uncertainty .....................................................1.5 m/s²
m WARNING
Avoid the risks associated with vibration, e.g. the risk
of white finger syndrome (circulatory disorders) by
taking frequent breaks from work where you rub your
palms together, for example.
m WARNING
The actual vibration emission value during use of the
machine may differ from the vibration emission value
indicated in the operating manual or by the manufac-
turer. This can be caused by the following influencing
factors to which attention should be paid both before
and during every use:
• Is the machine being properly used
• Is the nature of the cutting or processing of the ma-
terial correct
• Is the machine in good working order.
• Sharpness of the cutting tool and is the cutting tool
the correct one.
• Are the handles or, if applicable, the optional an-
ti-vibration handles installed and firmly attached to
the body of the machine.

9.1 Installing the guide rail (2) and the saw chain
(1) (Fig. 2 - 5)
m ATTENTION
Always carry out assembly with the engine switched
off.
m WARNING
Danger of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when touching the
saw chain (1). Danger of injury due to the sharp cut-
ting teeth!
Only use approved combinations of saw chain (1) and
guide rail (2) (see chapter "Approved cutting gear").
Note
A new saw chain (1) stretches and needs to be re-ten-
sioned more often. Check and adjust the chain ten-
sion regularly.
Depending on wear, the guide rail (2) can be turned.
1. Set the chainsaw down on a level and stable sur-
face.
2. Pull the front hand guard (3) back up to the stop to
release the chain brake. (Fig. 2)
3. Remove the fixing nuts (16) with the spark plug
wrench (20).
4. Remove the chain cover (17).
5. Turn the chain tensioning screw (23) (anti-clock-
wise) until the chain tensioning pin (26) is at the
right-hand stop (Fig. 3). Use the slotted screwdriv-
er (20) for this.
6. Slide the slotted hole of the guide rail (2) over the
protruding fastening pins (29).
7. Place the saw chain (1) over the teeth of the chain
wheel (27). Insert the saw chain (1) precisely into
the guide rail (2). In the tip of the guide rail (2)
there is a sprocket (30) into whose teeth the saw
chain (1) must be inserted. (Fig. 6 and 18)
8. Pull slightly on the guide rail (2) to slightly pre-ten-
sion the saw chain (1).
9. Fit the chain cover (17) back on. Make sure that
the internal chain tensioning pin (26) fits into the
matching hole in the guide rail (2). If necessary,
adjust the chain tensioning screw (23) with the
slotted screwdriver (20).
10. Screw on the fastening nuts (16) by hand. How-
ever, make sure that you do not tighten them yet.
The fastening nuts (16) are tightened only after
tensioning the saw chain (1).
9.2 Tensioning and checking the saw chain (1)
