6. Initial Operation

6.1 Fitting guide rail and sawing chain,
setting chain tension
See illustration on page 2.
WARNING! Remove the battery packs .
Unintentional start-up can cause serious
injuries. The machine must be stationary.
Wear protective gloves.
1. Unscrew the nut (10) and take off the chain
cover (11).
2. Mount the sawing chain (8) on the guide rail (7):
See page 2, fig. A:
The cutting edges of the sawing chain cutters (b)
must point in the direction of rotation. Observe
the symbol on the machine.
See page 2, fig. B:
Hold up the guide rail (7) at its front end and
position the sawing chain (8) such that the teeth
(a) of the deflector star of the guide rail engage
in the chain links and the chain-driving links are
seated in the guide rail groove.
3. Then place the sawing chain (8) around the
chain wheel (19) and mount the guide rail with its
slot (12) onto the stud bolt (16).
If necessary, turn the tensioning screw (17) in
such a way that the chain tensioning pin (18)
engages in the hole (13) in the guide rail.
4. Refit the chain wheel cover (11) and fit the nut
(10) but do not yet tighten.
5. Turn the clamping screw (17) clockwise until
the sawing chain no longer sags at the lower
edge of the guide rail. Raise the front end of the
guide rail while doing this.
6. See page 2, fig. C: The sawing chain is
correctly tensioned if it lies on the guide rail,
in the middle of the guide rail it can be lifted
2 to 3 mm from the upper edge of the guide
rail, it can still be moved easily by hand,
without sticking.
7. After clamping the sawing chain, raise the front
end of the guide rail and tighten the nut (10).
6.2 Chain lubricating oil
The machine is delivered ex works without an oil
filling. Prior to initial operation of the machine,
the oil reservoir must be filled with lubricating
oil.
Use original Metabo chain lubricating oil only.
Never use old oil!
To fill with oil, unscrew the sealing cap (3). When
filling the oil, ensure that no dirt gets into the oil
reservoir. The oil level can be checked using the
see-through oil tank (4).
6.3 Attach to the cordless multifunction
drive
Attach as shown in the operating instructions for the
cordless multifunction drive.
WARNING! A maximum of 2 extension rods
may be installed between the cordless
multifunction drive and the attachment.
Attach the extension rods in the same manner.
6.4 Battery pack
Read the operating instructions supplied with the
cordless multifunction drive.
6.5 Allow new sawing chain to run-in
Before sawing with a new sawing chain, allow it to
run in for 2-3 minutes.
After the run-in time, check the chain tension
(as specified in chapter 6.3) and retighten the
sawing chain if necessary.
6.6 Checking chain lubrication
Never work without chain lubrication! Refill
promptly.
If the sawing chain is running dry, the guide rail and
sawing chain are rendered unusable within a short
time. It is therefore essential to check the oil level in
the reservoir every time before starting work.
To check the chain lubrication, hold the machine
with the guide rail (and sawing chain running) at a
safe distance of about approx. 20 cm over a light-
coloured base, e.g. a spread-out newspaper). If
increasingly large oil mark appears on the light-
coloured base, the chain lubrication is working
perfectly.
7. Use
7.1 Holding machine correctly,
Switching on and off
Before use, check that the device is correctly
attached to the battery multifunction drive
(read operating instructions of the cordless
multifunction drive).
Use the shoulder strap. The operator must
keep good footing and hold the machine firmly
with both hands on the handles. The guide rail must
not touch any objects when the machine is switched
on.
Switch on and off as described in the operating
instructions for the cordless multifunction drive.
