CAUTION! Risk of injury due to uninten-
tional start-up. Switch off the tool. Remove
the batteries from the tool.
Checking the chain tension
Pull the saw chain (6) upwards at the top of
the blade bar (5).
• Saw chain can hardly be pulled upwards:
The chain tension is too high. Relax the
saw chain.
• The saw chain can be pulled up so far
that the driving elements are not fully vis-
ible: The chain tension is correct.
• The saw chain can be pulled up so far
that the driving elements are fully visible:
The chain tension is too low. Tension the
saw chain.
Procedure
1. Deactivate the chain brake: Pull the chain
brake lever (4) back towards the front
handle (11).
You can only refit the sprocket cover (9)
when the chain brake band has been re-
leased.
2. Loosen the wing screw (7) ⭯.
3. Tension the saw chain: Turn the rotary
wheel for chain tension (8) ⭮.
Relax the saw chain: Turn the rotary
wheel for chain tension (8) ⭯.
4. Tighten the wing screw (7).
The chain tension of a new saw chain must
be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts.
Checking the chain brake
NOTICE! The saw chain does not rotate
when the chain brake is locked into place.
Procedure
1. Place the chainsaw on a firm, level sur-
face. It must not touch any objects.
2. Operate the chain brake lever (4).
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 (11). Your
thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the
grips.
4. Switch on the tool. The indicator (30) for
the inserted chain brake flashes.
The chain brake functions.
5. Release the on/off switch (2).
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 chain 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.
Notes
• Before starting work, check the oil level.
• You can check the chain lubrication at
any time during operation.
Procedure
1. While the saw chain is running: Hold the
chainsaw above clear ground. Observe
the trace of oil. The chainsaw must not
touch the ground!
• Significant trace of oil: The chainsaw
is working properly.
• Slight trace of oil: Check chain lubric-
ation, adjust oil flow
• No trace of oil: Fill with chain oil,
check chain lubrication, clean oil pas-
sage
Pouring in chain oil
WARNING! Risk of fire! Always turn off
the device and let the engine cool down be-
fore filling with chain oil.
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 oil flows to the blade bar (5) as soon as
the chain starts running.
• Check the oil level regularly and top up
with oil if the level is low. Tank capacity:
190 cm³ (0.19 l)
• Use bio chain oil containing additives to
reduce friction and wear. Alternatively,
use chain lubricating oil with a low pro-
portion of adhesion additives.
• Empty the oil tank if it will not be used for
a prolonged period of time (6–8 weeks).
Procedure
1. Place the tool on its side with the fuel
cap (12) facing upwards.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap (12).
