rear handle (1) and the left hand on
the front handle (16). Thumb and finger
must close securely over the handles.
6. Turn on the electric chainsaw.
7. Activate the chain braking lever (3),
with running motor, with the left hand.
To do so, push the chain braking lever/
front hand protection (3) away from the
front handle (16). Chain should stop
abruptly.
8. Once the chain brake is working prop-
erly, release the on/off switch and the
chain brake.
If the chain brake does not
function correctly, you must
not use the electric chainsaw.
A slack saw chain leads to
danger of injury.
Return the electric chainsaw
to our Service-Center for re-
pair.
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
residues 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 "Install-
ing the sawing chain and blade".

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 push-
ing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing com-
pletion.
• 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).
