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 repair.

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 (27), 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 (27).

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
ground­or­another­object­during­sawing­
through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become­jammed­in­the­wood.­Do­not­let­
the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
• For sowing work on hillsides, always
stand in the area above the log. To
keep total control while sawing through,
reduce the pressure at the end of the
cut without loosening your grip on the
handles of the electric chain saw. Make
sure the saw chain does not touch the
ground.­After­finishing­the­cut,­wait­until­
the electric chain saw comes to a halt
before removing it. Always shut off the
engine of the electric chain saw before
switching between trees.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and
wires must be removed from the tree.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
