2. Filling the oil tank
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 chain saw oil, i.e. oil which is 100% biologically decomposable. Biological
chain saw oil should be available at any local specialist dealer. Do not use old oil. This will damage the chain
saw and will also lead to loss of the guarantee.

Before filling the oil tank, pull plug out the mains.

Open the oil tank cap (3, Fig. 3‐F) and place the sealing ring safely aside so that does not get lost.

Fill approx. 90 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and screw on the tank cap tightly.

The oil level can be seen in the oil inspection window (1, Fig 3‐F). 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 dispatched.

Check correct functioning of the chain saw lubrication before commencing work. Switch on the saw
with cutting fittings assembled and hold over a bright background at a safe distance (Fig. 3‐F). Be
careful not to come in contact with the ground! An track of oil will show you that the chain is
sufficiently lubricated.

After use, lay the chain saw horizontally on some absorbing surface. The oil spread on the bar, chain
and drive may lead to some further dripping of oil.
3. Connecting the chain saw
We recommend to operate the chain saw in connection with a residual current operated device (RDC)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 connection (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 the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are approved for out‐door use and are not lighter than rubbersheathed
cables of type H07 RN‐F with a diameter of at least 1,5 mm
drum, the cable must be fully unwound. Supply and extension cords regularly checked for wear. 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. Do not use damaged extension cord and
replace it with a new one.
To protect the connection cable from strains this chain saw is equipped with a strain relief (15). 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 3‐A. Now the plug‐connection is secured against unintentional disconnection.
4. Switching on and off (Fig. 3B, 3E)

Hold the saw securely with both hands so that the thumbs and fingers are wrapped around the handle
of the chain saw (Fig. 3‐E).

Check that the chain or bar are not touching anything and nothing can hinder their free movement.

Press with your thumbs the safety button (13) on the left side of the rear handle and then the
operating switch (9).

The safety button (13) is used for unlocking the switch‐on mechanism and does not need to be pressed
after the device is switched on.

To switch off the device, release switch (9).
Warning: 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.
