Important! Be aware of the temperature condi-
tions: diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent
viscosities are required at diff erent ambient tem-
peratures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient
lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone,
and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 11):
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item
31) and then clean the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 30) with saw chain oil. In
the process, make sure that no dirt enters
the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to
become blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cover (Item 31).
After the chain saw mounting kit has been fi tted
and when the equipment is not being used, slip
the cutter guard (Fig. 1/Item 18) over the moun-
ted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent
injuries.
5.3 Adjusting the additional handle
(Fig. 12-13)
(a) Setting the tilt of the additional handle
Open (a) the lock (F). Set the desired tilt of the
additional handle (9). Close (b) the lock (F).
b) Shifting the additional handle
Open (a) the lock (H) and slide the additional
handle (9) into the required position. Close (b) the
lock (H).
5.4 Using the shoulder strap
Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the equipment. Switch off the equip-
ment before you take off the shoulder strap (risk
of injury).
1. Hook the carabiner (Fig. 4/Item A) into the
strap holder.
2. Slip the shoulder strap (Fig. 14/Item 8) over
your shoulder.
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that
the strap attachment is at waist level (Fig. 14).
4. The shoulder strap is equipped with a buckle.
Press the hooks together (Fig. 15) if you need
Anl_GE_LC_18_Li_T_SPK9.indb 25 Anl_GE_LC_18_Li_T_SPK9.indb 25
GB
to put down the equipment quickly.
5. To change the strap position on the equip-
ment, press together the two metal loops (Fig.
4/Item L / M) and adjust the strap attachment
on the tube.
5.5 Adjusting the angle of the handle
(Fig. 16)
Press the two safety lock-off s (5) and adjust the
angle of the handle (2) to any of 4 latching posi-
tions.
5.6 Adjusting the angle of the motor housing
(Fig. 17)
Press the two safety lock-off s (14) and adjust the
angle of the motor housing (13a) to any of 7 lat-
ching positions.
5.7 Adjusting the telescopic tube (Fig. 18)
1. Undo the telescopic tube lock nuts (10 + 12)
by turning them counter-clockwise.
2. Pull out the telescopic tubes (11 + 13) to suit
the required working height.
3. Secure the telescopic tube lock nuts (10 +
12) by them turning clockwise.
5.8 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit to the
motor head (Fig. 19 – 20)
The cutter guard must be slipped over the moun-
ted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent
injuries.
1. Position the chain saw mounting kit and the
motor head such that the arrows on both
parts coincide.
2. Press the chain saw mounting kit against the
motor head. This will cause the lock button
(R) to be pushed to the right. Turn the chain
saw mounting kit clockwise. The chain saw
mounting kit will lock onto the motor head and
is then secured in place. This will cause the
lock button (R) to be pushed to the left.
5.9 Turning the chain saw mounting kit
through 90° on the motor head (Fig. 21)
The cutter guard must be slipped over the moun-
ted cutter bar with saw chain in order to prevent
injuries.
1. Pull the lock button (R) to the right.
2. Turn the chain saw mounting kit 90° counter-
clockwise. The chain saw mounting kit will
lock onto the motor head and is then secured
in place.
