Fit/remove the chainsaw guide bar
(12) and saw chain (11) (Fig. 2)
We recommend that you check the product and all acces-
sories for tightness before using them for the first time
and refit them if necessary.
1. Place the product on a level, even surface.
2. Turn the screw (2) for the chain tensioning system an-
ti-clockwise to slacken the chain tension and remove
the chain cover (3).
3. Remove the guide bar (12) and the saw chain (11).
4. Lay out the saw chain (11) in a loop so that the cutting
edges are aligned clockwise. To align the saw chain
(11), follow the symbols (arrows) on the saw chain or
above the chain wheel (14).
5. Place the saw chain (11) in the groove of the chain-
saw guide bar (12).
6. For assembly, hold the chainsaw guide bar (12) swiv-
elled upwards at an angle of approx. 45 degrees to
make it easier to feed the saw chain (11) into the
groove of the chainsaw guide bar (12).
7. Remove the chainsaw guide bar (12) and the saw
chain (11) on the spring tensioner (13).
8. Press the chainsaw guide bar (12) with the saw chain
(11) down to slip the saw chain (11) over the sprocket
(14).
9. When the saw chain (11) is released, it will be auto-
matically tensioned.
10. Fit the chain cover (3) back on.
11. Turn the screw for the chain tensioning system (2)
clockwise until hand tight.
12. Check the seating of the saw chain (11) again and
tighten the screw (2) for the chain tensioning system
and the chain cover (3).

Tensioning the saw chain (11)
(Fig. 2)
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. The product is equipped with a saw chain quick
clamping system. The saw chain (11) is automatically
tensioned by the spring tensioner (13) fitted to the
product. The rotating saw chain (11) is guided over
the groove on the chainsaw guide bar (12).
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 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.
Note:
• A new saw chain tends to loosen for a certain time af-
ter installation. Therefore, check the saw chain ten-
sion from time to time before use.
• 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
Lubricating the saw chain
(Fig. 1, 3, 9)
The chain tension and chain lubrication have a consider-
able influence on the service life of the saw chain.
The oil bottle (9a) can be stored in the oil bottle holder (9).
Note:
• Use saw chain oil that contains additives to reduce
friction and wear or organic saw chain oil.
• For cutting trees, use organic saw chain oil.
Mineral oil can damage trees.
• Clean the chainsaw guide bar and the saw chain to
remove dirt, sawdust and old oil residues. (See 11)
• Ensure that the saw chain is tensioned but not too
tight. (See 8.2)
1. Hold the oil bottle (9a) at a slight angle so that the oil
can flow into the links of the saw chain (11).
2. Apply the oil along the saw chain (11) while turning
the saw chain (11) by hand. Start at the lower part of
the chainsaw guide bar (12).
Ensure that the oil gets into the joints and links of the
saw chain (11).
3. Apply the oil to both sides of the saw chain (11).
Use a brush* to distribute the oil evenly.
4. Check that the saw chain (11) is evenly oiled.
5. Wipe up any spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth* according to local regulations.
