A) and then clean the oil tank cover.
▶ Fill the tank 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.
Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 11-12)
The battery is protected from exhaustive discharge. An
integrated protective circuit automatically switches off
the equipment when the battery is fl at.
Warning! Do not actuate the On/Off switch any
more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may
damage the battery.
▶ Remove the battery pack from the handle, pressing the
pushlock button (13) downwards to do so.
▶ Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. In-
sert the power plug of the charger (18) into the socket
outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
▶ Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.
In section 12 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with
an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the follow-
ing:
▶ voltage at the power socket
▶ whether there is good contact at the charging con-
tacts of the charging unit
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send the charger
and charging adapter and the battery pack to our custom-
er service center.
To ensure that the Li battery pack provides long service
you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must
recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power
of the cordless chainsaw drops.
OPERATION
SWITCHING ON/OFF
Switching on
▶ Plug in the battery on the equipment.
▶ Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both hands as
shown in Fig. 13 (thumbs under the handles).
▶ Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 5).
Switch on the chainsaw at the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item
6). You can then release the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chainsaw to
a standstill within a very short space of time. Always dis-
connect the mains plug when you stop working, even if it is
only for a short time.
Warning! Always carry the saw by the front han-
dle. If the saw is plugged in and you carry it by the
rear handle (which is where the switches are lo-
cated), then there is a risk that you could acciden-
tally press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF
switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could
inadvertently start up.
SAFETY DEVICES
Motor brake
The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the power supply is
interrupted. This signifi cantly reduces the risk of injury
that would otherwise be present if the chain continued to
run after being switched off or disconnected.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is triggered
via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2). If kickback causes
the chainsaw to suddenly jerk back then the chain brake
trips and stops the saw chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You
must check the operation of the chain brake on a regular
basis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) for-
ward and briefl y switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain
must not start up.
Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until it en-
gages to release the chain brake.
Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equipment
is not working properly. Never try to repair safe-
ty related protection systems yourself – always
have any work done by our service department or
by a similarly qualifi ed workshop.
Hand guard
The front hand guard (which also acts as the chain brake
at the same time) (Fig. 1/Item 2) and the rear hand guard
(Fig. 1/ Item 14) protect against fi nger injuries resulting
from contact with the saw chain if the chain breaks be-
cause it is overloaded.

To ensure that you can work safely, check the following
