Please use only chainsaw oil, i.e. oil which is 100%
biodegradable.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available everywhere
at your local specialist dealer. Do not use old oil. This
will damage the chainsaw and will also lead to loss of
the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug.
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 210 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (1).
If you plan not to use the machine for a longer period,
you should remove the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chain-
saw is transported or sent for repair.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before com-
mencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting fittings
assembled and hold over a bright background at a safe
distance (Be careful not to come in contact with the
ground!). A track of oil will show you that the chain is
sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some ab-
sorbing surface. The oil spread on the blade, chain and
drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain (Fig. 2 - 5)
CAUTION! Risk of injury! Always use safety
gloves when assembling the chain!
• Put the chainsaw on a stable rest.
• Release and remove the securing nut (7).
• Pull off the pinion lid (8).
• Lay the saw chains (6) onto the blade (5) and observe
the direction of the chain. The cutting teeth must be
point-ing forward on the top of the blade (see fig. 5).
• Lay the unattached end of the saw chain over the
chain drive wheel (see fig. 3, B) and the blade 5 with
the elongated hole over the blade guide and chain
tensioning bolt.
• Observe that the chain tensioning bolt is sitting exactly
in the small opening in the blade (see fig. 3, A). It must
be visible through the opening.
• Now shove the blade together with the chain forwards.
Observe that all chain links are positioned exactly in
the blade grove and that the saw chain is running
precisely around the chain drive wheel.
• Replace the pinion lid (8) and press it tightly until
secure.
• Replace the securing nut (7). The securing nut should
initially only be tightened by hand.
3. Tighten the chain
• To do this, turn the chain tensioning screw (see Fig.3,
C) in a clockwise direction. The chain should be ten-
sioned so that it can still be raised approx. 3 mm in the
middle of the blade (Fig. 5).
• Finally, tighten the securing nut using a socket span-
ner (7).
The tension in the chain has a major effect on the service
life of the cutting fittings, and must therefore be checked
regularly. When the chain warms up to operating tem-
pe-rature it will expand and must be retightened. A new

saw chain will have to be tightened more frequently until
it has reached its full length.
To tighten the chain, loosen the nut (7). Then turn the
chain tensioning screw (fig.4, C) on the front of the chain-
saw in a clockwise direction.Keep tightening the chain
until it can be raised in the middle of the blade by approx.
3 mm, as shown in (fig. 5).
4. Connecting the chainsaw (Fig. 6 )
We recommend to operate the chainsaw in connec-
tion with a residual current operated device with a
maximum breaking current of 30mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a mains supply
with a system impedance Z
(house service connection) of max. 0.315 Ohm. The
user must ensure that the device is only operated on an
electricity supply system meeting these requirements. If
required, system impedance data may be obtained from
the local public utility.
To protect the connection cable from strains this chain
saw is equipped with a strain relief. First, connect the
tool's plug with the mains cable. Then, form a tight loop
with the connection cable and put this loop through the
opening on the rear side of the handle. Put the loop over
the strain relief hook as shown in the corresponding
figure. Now the plug-connection is secured against unin-
tentional disconnection.
5. Switching on (Fig. 7 + 8)
• Hold the saw securely with both hands so that the

CAUTION: During the running-in period, the
chain must be more frequently tightened. The
chain must be immediately retightened if it
shakes or leaves the grove!
Use only extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use and are not lighter than rub-
ber-sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F accord-
ing to DIN/VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least
1.5 sq. mm. They cords must be splash-proof.
If the connection cable of this device should be
damaged it must be replaced by a workshop
named by the manufacturer only as this work
requires the use of special tools. Mobile devic-
es for outdoor use should be connected over a
residual current operated device.

Attention: The sawing chain will start running
at high speed immediately. When putting the
saw down, make sure that the chain never gets
in touch with stones or metal objects.
