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).
Note:
Please note that the product will re-oil after use and oil
may leak if the product is stored horizontally or upside
down. This is a normal procedure due to the necessary
ventilation opening at the upper edge of the tank and is
no reason for complaint. As this product is inspected and
tested with oil during production, there could be a small
residue in the tank despite emptying, which could easily
stain with oil during transport of the housing. Please clean
the housing with a cloth.
Before changing the saw chain, the groove of the guide rail
must be cleaned of dirt, as the saw chain can jump out of
the rail if dirt deposits are present. The deposits can also
soak up the chain oil. The consequence would be that the
chain oil does not reach the underside of the guide bar, or
only to a small extent, and lubrication is reduced.
8.2 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 is automatically ten-
sioned by the spring tensioner fitted to the product.
The rotating saw chain is guided over the groove on
the chainsaw guide bar.
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 Topping up saw chain oil (Fig. 6)
ATTENTION
Product damage!
If the product is operated without oil or with too little oil
or with used oil, this can lead to product damage.
– Fill with oil before starting the machine. The product
is delivered without oil.
– Do not use used oil!
– Check the oil level every time you change the bat-
tery.
ATTENTION
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
– Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
– Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
– Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
– Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
– Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
The chain tension and chain lubrication have a consider-
able influence on the service life of the saw chain.
The saw chain will be lubricated automatically while the
product is running. To lubricate the saw chain sufficiently,
there must always be enough saw chain oil in the oil tank.
Check the amount of oil remaining in the oil tank at regu-
lar intervals.
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.
