of the chain brake to remove chips and sawing
residues.
10.2

Chain lubrication

m CAUTION!
• Never work without chain lubrication! If the saw
chain runs dry, the cutting gear will be irreparably
destroyed in a short time.
• Always check chain lubrication before working.
1. Check the oil level on the basis of the oil level in-
dicator (15) (Fig. 13).
10.3 Refill the chain oil (Fig. 13)
m CAUTION!
• Only add environmentally friendly, good quality
chain lubricating oil (per RAL-UZ 48) to the chain
saw.
• Do not add used oil. Used oil can cause skin can-
cer with extended and repeated skin contact, and
is damaging to the environment! Used oil does not
have the necessary lubricating characteristics and
is unsuitable for chain lubrication.
• An oil other than the recommended oil can cause
damage to the rail, chain and lubrication system.
• Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank.
• Avoid oil spillages. Always wipe up spilled oil.
1. Unscrew the oil tank plug (14). Before opening,
clean the oil tank plug (14) and the filling nozzle
if necessary.
2. Carefully add the chain lubricating oil until it
reaches the top mark on the oil level indicator (15).
10.4 Checking the chain lubrication (Fig. 13)
1. Start the device (see section "Switching on the
device").
2. Hold the chainsaw during operation, at medium
speed, over a sawed-off tree stump or a suitable
surface. If the lubrication is sufficient, a light film
of oil will form on the tree stump or surface.
3. There is an oil adjustment screw on the bottom
of the chainsaw which can be used to control the
chain lubrication by turning.
- First press and then turn the oil adjustment
screw clockwise to reduce chain lubrication.
- First press and then turn the oil adjustment
screw anti-clockwise to increase chain lubri-
cation.

11.1 Switching on the device (Fig. 14 - 16)
m WARNING!
Ensure that the saw chain is not yet applied to the cut
and that no other objects are touched: Danger of in-
jury!
• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands and make
sure that no persons (in particular children) or ani-
mals are in the immediate vicinity.
• Make sure that the chain brake is released before
starting the chainsaw. To do so, draw the hand
guard back in the direction of the bow-type han-
dle. (Fig. 14)
