Operation
Before operation
WARNING! Risk of injury! Always wear
protective gloves while working with the saw
chain and use only original parts.
You need to do the following before using
the tool for the first time:
• Tensioning the saw chain, p. 41
• Pouring in chain oil, p. 39
• Charge and insert both batteries
• Checking the chain brake, p. 38
• Checking the oil automation, p. 38
Checking the chain brake
NOTICE! The saw chain does not rotate
when the chain brake is locked into place.
Procedure (Fig. G)
1. Place the chainsaw on a firm, level sur-
face. It must not touch any objects.
2. Operate the chain brake lever (5).
3. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, with
your right hand on the rear grip (1) and
your left hand on the front grip (4). Your
thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the
handles.
4. Switch on the device (Switching on and
off, p. 39). A warning tone sounds.

WARNING! Risk of injury from the trailing
saw chain. Do not use the chainsaw if the
chain brake does not work properly. Contact
the service centre.
Checking the oil automation
Before starting work, check the oil level in
the oil automation system.
Procedure
1. Hold the chainsaw over a light-coloured
surface. The chainsaw should not touch
the ground.
2. Switch on the chainsaw.
If a trace of oil appears, the chainsaw is
working flawlessly. If there is no trace of oil,
clean the oil passage or contact the service
centre.
Cleaning the oil passage
Clean the oil passage (35) to ensure fault-
free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during
operation.
Tools and aids required
• Cloth
• Brush
Procedure (Fig. H)
1. Wipe out any residue from the oil pas-
sage (35). Use a cloth or brush for this.
Chain lubrication
We recommend using the biological saw
chain oil supplied or a comparable, biode-
gradable multifunctional oil for lubrication.
NOTICE! If the chainsaw is used with too
little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan
of the saw chain will decrease as the saw
chain will become blunt more quickly. You
can recognise insufficient oil by the smoke
development or discolouration of the blade
bar. Make sure that there is always oil flow-
ing onto the chain.
The tool is equipped with an automatic oil
system. The oil flows to the blade bar (7) as
soon as the motor starts operating.
CAUTION! Switch off the tool and re-
move the batteries before carrying out any
maintenance work.
