Checking the chain
lubrication
Check the oil level and the chain lubrica-
tion system before commencement of work.
• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw is
working trouble-free.
If no oil trace can be seen clean the
oil passages or turn the chainsaw
to our Service-Center for repair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (26), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation. Use a
brush or a cloth to help remove resi-
dues from the oil passage.

Changing the saw bar

F
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from
the mains ( 12).
A
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (7) and the
screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (9) in counter-clockwise
direction in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
chain wheel cover (8).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw chain
(5). To remove the guide bar (4), raise
it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees.
This will make it easier to take the saw
chain (5) off the sprocket (24).
5. Replace the blade and install the
blade and chain as described under
"Installing the sawing chain and bla-
de".

Sawing techniques

General

• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to
with the top side of the chain bar (with
pushing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either the
ground or another object during sawing
through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sowing work on hillsides, always
stand in the area above the log. To
keep total control while sawing through,
reduce the pressure at the end of the
cut without loosening your grip on the
handles of the electric chain saw. Make
sure the saw chain does not touch the
ground. After finishing the cut, wait until
the electric chain saw comes to a halt
before removing it. Always shut off the
engine of the electric chain saw before
switching between trees.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.

Felling trees

A lot of experience is neces-
sary in felling trees. Cut down
trees only when you can safely
handle the electric chainsaw.
