brake
The motor cannot be turned on if
the chain brake has engaged. Do
not employ the chain brake in order
to start the chainsaw or to switch it
off.
1. Place the electric chainsaw onto a
solid, flat surface. It must not contact
any objects.
2. Connect the device to the mains volt-
age.
3. Release the chain brake by shifting the
brake arm (3) over against the front
grip (16).
4. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with
both hands, with the right hand on the
rear handle (1) and the left hand on
the front handle (16). Thumb and finger
must close securely over the handles.
5. Turn on the electric chainsaw.
6. Activate the chain braking lever (3),
with running motor, with the left hand.
To do so, push the chain braking lever/
front hand protection (3) away from the
front handle (16). Chain should stop
abruptly.
7. Once the chain brake is working prop-
erly, release the on/off switch and the
chain brake.
If the chain brake does not
function correctly, you must
not use the electric chainsaw.
A slack saw chain leads to
danger of injury.
Return the electric chainsaw
to our Service-Center for re-
pair.

Checking the chain
lubrication
Check the oil level and the chain lubrica-
tion system before commencement of work.
• Switch on the chainsaw and hold it
above a bright background. The saw
must not touch the ground.
If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw is
working trouble-free.
If no oil trace can be seen clean the
oil passages or turn the chainsaw
to our Service-Center for repair.
Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar (26), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation. Use
a brush or a cloth to help remove
residues from the oil passage.

2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (7) and the
screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (9) in counter-clockwise
direction in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
chain wheel cover (8).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw chain
(5). To remove the guide bar (4), raise
it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees.
This will make it easier to take the saw
chain (5) off the sprocket (24).
5. Replace the blade and install the blade

ing the sawing chain and blade".
