Fuel and lubrication

Petrol
• Warning: Never refuel the saw while the engine is running.
• Let the engine cool for a few minutes before beginning to refuel.
• Use a ready-mixed mixture of environmentally-friendly petrol (alkylate petrol) and 2% oil.
• Wipe off any spilt fuel and move the saw at least 3 metres away from the refuelling location before starting it.
Note: Always refuel outdoors, never indoors.
1. Lay the saw on its side, remove the fuel cap and pour in fuel until the tank is roughly 80% full.
2. Wipe up any fuel spills immediately.
3. Screw the filler cap back on.
Chain oil
Warning: Never start the chainsaw without first filling the chain oil reservoir. Using the saw without chain oil will soon wear
out both the chain and the guide bar.
1. Lay the saw on its side, remove the oil filler cap and pour in oil until the reservoir is roughly 80% full.
2. Wipe up any spills immediately.
3. Screw the filler cap back on.

Chain brake

The saw is equipped with an automatic chain brake which stops the saw chain in the event of kickback. The chain brake is
activated by the inertial forces triggered by the kickback itself. The chain brake can also be activated manually by pushing
the lever (2) forward towards the chain. The brake lever should click into position.
If the chain brake is activated, pull the handle back towards the saw again until it clicks and the brake is disengaged.
Warning: Always check the chain brake before starting the saw.
What to do:
1. Hold the saw horizontal over a tree stump or similar. Hold the rear handle and
let go of the front handle so that the guide bar bumps against the tree stump.
The chain brake should engage automatically. Contact the retailer for reparation if
the chain brake does not activate.
2. In the event of a kickback and the chain brake activates while you are working,
it is important that you release the throttle immediately. Running the engine at
high speed with the chain brake activated will damage the clutch.

Starting the engine

Warning: Check that the saw is intact and that the guide bar and chain are correctly fitted before starting it. The saw must
never be started if the chain or guide bar is damaged in any way.
Cold start
1. Activate the chain brake.
2. Pull the choke control all the way out, this activates the choke plate and supplies starting fuel to facilitate ignition.
3. Place the chainsaw securely on the ground. Place one foot on the rear handle and hold the front handle with one hand.
4. Pull firmly on the starter handle with your other hand. When the engine has fired once, push the choke control all
the way in. The choke is now disengaged but a little starting fuel is kept.
5. Firmly pull the starter handle until the engine starts. The engine is now running on starting fuel, squeeze the throttle once
to disengage the starting fuel.
Warm start
1. Activate the chain brake.
2. To activate the starting fuel only, first pull the choke control all the way out and then push it all the way back in.
This will help to start the engine.
3. Place the chainsaw securely on the ground. Place one foot on the rear handle and hold the front handle with one hand.
4. Pull firmly on the starter handle with your other hand until the engine starts. The engine is now running on starting fuel,
squeeze the throttle once to disengage the starting fuel.
