3. Connection of the electric chainsaw
We recommend to operate the chainsaw with the residual current
device with the max. breaking current 30 mA.
This device is intended for operation in el. network with the system im-
pedance Z
in the supply terminal (house service line) max. 0.4 Ω. The
max
user must ensure work of the device only in the el. network conforming
to these requirements. Impedance of the system can be established
from the local distribution plant, if necessary.
Use only the lead-in cables approved for use outdoors
which are not thinner than the rubber cable H07 RN-F pur-
suant to DIN/VDE 0282, min. cross section 1.5 mm
must be protected from splashing water.
The damaged power cable with the plug (12) may be re-
placed only and exclusively by the service centre appoint-
ed by the manufacturer, because special tools are needed
for this operation. Mobile devices used outdoors should be con-
nected through the residual current device.

To protect the lead-in cable, this electric chainsaw is equipped by the
cable strain relief (18). At first connect the power cable plug of the de-
vice (12) with the lead-in cable. Make a loop on the lead-in cable, press
the cable holder button, thus extending the cable holder (18a) to the
position A, insert the cable loop from below into the hole for the ca-
ble (18b). Release the cable holder button. The holder will be returned
to the initial position B and the cable will be fixed. To loosen the cable,
press the cable holder button (18a) again and take the cable out.
4. Switching on
The front guard of the hand (4) must be in the unlocked position,
i.e. must be pushed towards the front handle (2).
Press the lock button (15) on the left side of the front handle (11) by
the thumb and then the switch (9).
Attention! The electric chainsaw will be started immediate-
ly at a high speed.
The lock button (15) serves for locking of unwanted start and af-
ter the switch is pressed, this button does not need to be held any
more.
For switching off, release the switch (9).
When switching the chainsaw off, the chain may never
come in contact with stones or metal things!
5. Electronic system
Smooth start
To avoid the current peaks after start of the chainsaw, the device is
equipped by the smooth / slow electronic start.
Heat protection from overload
If the chainsaw is overloaded, the heat protection switches the device
off automatically. When cooled down (after ca 15 minutes), the device
is again ready for operation. During this time period the switch may
not be activated!

1. Chain brake
This chainsaw is equipped by the mechanical chain brake. When the
chainsaw is catapulted as the consequence of contact of the end bar
piece with wood or a solid thing, the saw chain drive is stopped imme-
diately by reaction of the hand guard (4). The brake effect is initiated
as follows: back of the hand on the front handle (2) pushes the hand
guard (4) forwards (position B). Function of the chain brake should
be checked before each use of the chain saw!
Attention! When releasing the chain brake, pull the hand
guard (4) backwards in the direction of the handle and fix it
here (position A). The switch (9) may not be activated!
Make sure that before putting the chain saw into operation the
hand guard (4) is fixed in the working position.
2. Runout brake
In accordance with relevant regulations this chainsaw is equipped by
the runout brake. it is connected with the chain brake and brakes the
running chain after the chainsaw was switched off. It is activated after
release of the switch (9). This runout brake eliminates the risk of injury
by the running chain.
3. Chain catcher
This chainsaw is equipped by the chain catcher (17). If the chain is bro-
ken during work, the catcher catches quickly the moving chain end thus
preventing injury of the user's hand.
Instructions for professional work with
the electric chainsawu
1. Tree felling
If two or more persons cut down the tree(s) at the same time, the dis-
tance between the persons should be at least twice the height of the
cut tree. During tree felling other persons may not be endangered, el.
distributing lines affected and material/property damaged. Contact of
the falling thee with el. distribution line must be notified immediately
to the relevant distribution company.
When cutting on a slope, the chainsaw operator shall stay above the
cut tree, because the fallen tree will most probably slide or roll down
the slope.
a) Escape route
B
C
Prior to start cutting, the escape route should be planned and cleared,
if necessary. The escape route should lead obliquely from the expected
falling tree track, as can be seen in the Figure.
Prior to start cutting, it is necessary to consider the natural tree leaning,
