8.4 Filling with chain oil (Fig. Q)
m WARNING
Only fill the saw chain oil when the engine is switched
off and has cooled down. There is a risk of fire!
Never work without chain lubrication! If the saw chain
runs dry, the set of blade and saw chain will be irrep-
arably destroyed in a short time.
Always check chain lubrication before working.
NOTE
Use only saw chain oil. Preferably biodegradable. Do
not use waste oil, engine oil, etc.
Check during work that the chain lubrication is working.
• Always clean the area around the chain oil fuel cap
(14) before filling so that no dirt falls into the chain
oil tank. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for this purpose.
• Lay the device on its side with the chain oil fuel cap
(14) is facing upwards.
• Turn the chain oil fuel cap (14) anti-clockwise and
open it. The chain oil fuel cap (14) is connected to
an anti-loss device in the chain oil tank and thus
cannot fall off.
• Do not spill chain oil when refuelling and do not fill
the chain oil tank to the brim.
• Wipe up spilled chain oil immediately.
• Turn the chain oil fuel cap (14) clockwise to close it.
8.5 Tensioning and checking the saw chain (Fig. T,U)
m WARNING
Put on protective gloves! Danger of injury due to the
sharp cutting teeth!
Check the chain tension regularly before each start-up.
• Before tensioning, loosen the two fixing nuts (20) a
little with the spark plug wrench (31).
• Turn the chain tensioning screw (21) clockwise with
the slotted screwdriver (31) to increase the tension.
• Tighten the two fixing nuts (20) with the spark plug
wrench (31).
• The saw chain (17) must be in contact with the un-
derside of the guide rail. Check whether the saw
chain (17) can be pulled over the guide rail (16) by
hand (with the chain brake released, pull the front
hand guard (1) back).
NOTE
A new saw chain (17) stretches and needs to be
re-tensioned more often.

Working instructions
Familiarise yourself with handling the chainsaw be-
fore use.
It is mandatory to carefully check the chainsaw for any
damage before each use or after it has been dropped.
If damage is identified, it must be rectified immediately
by you or an authorised service centre. Prior to every
start-up of the chainsaw, check the following points:
• Correct seating of the guide rail
• Installation/running direction, as well as flawless
(sharp) saw chain
• Tension of the saw chain (check and readjust sev-
eral times if the chain is new)
• Function of the chain lubrication
• Function of the chain brake
• Function of the clutch (chain does not move when
idle)
• Leak-tightness of the fuel system
• Faultless condition and completeness of the guards
and the cutting device
• Tight fit of all screw connections
• Smooth running of all moving parts
NOTE
The chainsaw does not have a start gas lock.
For this reason, only deactivate a pulled cold start
lever (choke) (8) using the throttle lever lock (9) and
throttle lever (10).
The cold start lever (choke) (8) then automatically
jumps to the "Warm start" operating position.
Do not simply push a pulled cold start lever (choke)
(8) back to the warm start position by hand, otherwise
the engine could start with increased idling.
9.1 Starting the engine (Fig. C)
m ATTENTION
Always pull the start pull cord (4) out straight. Hold the
handle of the start pull cord (4) firmly when the pull
cord (4) winds back in. Never let the start pull cord (4)
whip back in.
The device can also be operated without the battery
(37) if the device is started using the starting cable (4).
