54. Do not work with your body bent forwards.
55. Ensure that you are standing securely and do not
work on snow, ice or newly‑barked wood. Danger of
slipping!
56. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is forbid‑
den.
57. Do not use chain saw above shoulder height.
58. Use the chain saw only to cut wood. It is abso‑
lutely forebidden to cut plastics or minerals (gas
concrete).
59. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is being
cut.
60. Never climb on a tree to cut wood.
61. Watch out for splintering wood. While you are sawing
you may be injured by flying wood chips.
62. Do not use the chain saw to lever or move the
wood.
63. Only cut with the lower section of the saw. The saw
will be repulsed towards you if you try and cut with
the upper section of the saw.
64. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails or other
foreign objects.
65. We recommend that first-time users are instructed
practically as to the correct use of the chain saw
and the required personal safety equipment by an
experienced operator; the cutting of round wood or
logs should be trained on a log stand or similar rack‑
type device first.
66. Keep the running chain saw from touching the
ground or wire fences. Do not cut thin wood or timber
that is already sawn into small pieces.
Starting up
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chain saw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only biologically-based chainsaw oil, i.e.
oil which is 100% biologically decomposable.
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. 150 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. If
you plan not to use the machine for a longer period,
you should remo ve the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chain‑
saw is transported or dispatched.
• 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 !). An track of oil will show you that the chain is

3 mm, as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Connecting the chainsaw (Fig. 5)
We recommend to operate the chain saw 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 max at the point of connec‑
tion (house service connection) of max. 0.4 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

drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.

service life of the cutting fittings, and must therefore
be checked regularly. When the chain warms up to
operating tempe‑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.
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 !
