Adjusting the chain tension
The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly, tension-
ing chainsaw.
Starting up a new saw chain
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. There-
fore, you have to re-tension the chain
after the first 5 cuts and no later than after
10 minutes' sawing time.
Never attach a new chain to a
worn drive pinion or place onto
a damaged or worn chain bar.
The chain could spring back or
break, potentially leading to se-
rious injury.

Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when
handling the chain or the chain
bar.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (12).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (8), the saw chain (5) and the
chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-
move burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages (
the chain bar, in order to guarantee
a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw
(5) and sprocket chain wheel covering
(8) and tighten the chainsaw.

The blade (4) has to be reversed regularly
after a working time of approximately 10
hours in order to ensure even wear.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (8), the saw chain (5) and the
chain bar (4).
3. Turn the blade around its horizontal
axis and install the blade and chain as
described under "Installing the sawing
chain and blade".
When doing so, pay attention to the cor-
rect rotation direction of the saw chain!
Use the graphical symbol below the chain
sprocket cover (8) as a guide to the align-
ment of the saw chain (5) when the blade
is rotated. The illustrated direction of
travel on the blade is no longer true.

Storage
•
Clean the device prior to storage.
•
Empty the oil tank prior to longer periods
of non-use. Dispose of used oil in an
environmentally-responsible way (see
„Disposal/Environmental Protection").
•
Attach the protective blade cover.
With the oil nozzles in good condi-
tion and the oil regulator set cor-
rectly, the saw chain will spray a
little oil off after starting.
Turn the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when
handling the chain or the chain
bar.
