will not exceed 50°C
8 Do not dispose of electric tools and batteries together
with household waste material
9 Beware of chain saw kickback and avoid contact with
bar tip
q Always use chain saw two-handed
USE
•
Assembly instructions w
! remove battery from tool
! always use gloves when handling the chain
- place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface
- remove cover plate V by turning locking knob N
counter-clockwise
- slide chain Q in the slot around chain bar P
- fit the chain onto drive sprocket S and guide chain bar
P
! ensure chain is in correct running direction by
comparing with chain symbol W
- check if all parts are seated properly and hold chain
and chain bar in a level position
- mount cover plate V as illustrated
- if necessary, turn tensioning knob M to bring tensioning
peg K in alignment with the hole in chain bar P
- turn tensioning knob M until all the slack is taken up in
the chain
- tighten locking knob N on fastening bolt T by turning it
clockwise
•
Charging battery
! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
•
Removing/installing the battery 2
•
Battery level indicator e
- press the battery level indicator button J to show the
current battery level ea
! when the lowest level of the battery indicator
starts flashing red for 10s after pressing button J
eb, the battery is nearly depleted.
•
Battery protection
The tool is suddenly being switched off or prevented from
being switched on, when
- the load is too high --> remove load and restart
- the battery is empty --> the 4 levels of the battery
level indicator starts flashing red for 10s; Remove the
battery from the tool and charge the battery ec
- the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -20 to +50°C -->4
levels of the battery level indicator keep solid red for
10s; wait until battery has returned within the allowable
operating temperature range ed
! do not continue to press the on/off switch after the
tool is switched off automatically; battery may be
damaged
•
Tensioning chain r
! remove battery from tool
- place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface
- check if the chain links are correctly located in the slot
around chain bar P
1. loosen locking knob N until it is just holding chain bar
in position (do not remove)
2. lift the chain bar somewhat and hold it in that position
3. turn chain tensioning knob M upwards until the lowest
chain links come up and JUST touch the bottom of
chain bar P
4. tighten locking knob N by turning it clockwise
5. release chain bar
6. the correct chain tension is reached when the chain
can be raised approx. 6 mm from the chain bar in the
centre
! always check the chain tension before use, after
the first cuts and regularly during use (approx.
every 10 minutes)
- the chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon
sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning
- avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause
the chain to become overtensioned when it cools down
•
Lubrication t
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication; therefore the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via oil outlet R
! the chain saw is not supplied filled with oil; it is
essential to fill with oil before use
! never operate the chain saw without chain oil or
at an empty oil reservoir level, as this will result in
extensive damage to the product
- set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil reservoir
cap F facing upward
- unscrew cap and add chain saw oil (not included) until
reservoir is full
- avoid dirt or debris entering oil reservoir
- mount oil reservoir cap and tighten
! check oil level prior to starting and regularly
during operation; Do not overfill and leave approx.
5mm space between the oil level and the inside
edge of the tank to allow for expansion.
- never use recycled/old oil
! use only readily biodegradable chain saw oil
•
On/off y
- switch on tool by first pressing safety switch B and then
pulling trigger switch L
- switch off the tool by releasing trigger L
! do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating
front hand guard D (= kickback brake)
•
Kickback brake u
The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated
through hand guard D, when kickback occurs ->chain
stops immediately
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals:
- push hand guard D forward and start the chain saw ->
the chain must not start
- to deactivate the kickback brake, release trigger switch
L and pull hand guard D backwards
•
Operating the tool
- always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands (front
handle C with the left hand and rear handle A with the
right hand); never operate chain saw using only one
hand ia
! the chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood
- use gripping teeth X to secure the saw onto the wood
before starting to cut ia
- use the gripping teeth as a leverage point (Þ) while
cutting ia
- reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when sawing
thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards
