Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide
bar must be evenly lubricated during operation. Lubri-
cation is automatic. Never work without chain lubrica-
tion. If the chain runs dry, the entire cutting apparatus
will quickly become severely damaged.
It is therefore important to check both chain lubrica-
tion and the oil gauge every use (Fig. 4).
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the
"Min." mark.
• Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at
the lower rim of the oil gauge (15), you must top
up with oil.
• Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and guide bars de-
pends to a large extent on the quality of the lubricant
used. Old oil must not be used! Use only environ-
ment-friendly chain lubricant. Store chain lubricant
only in containers which comply with the regulations.
Guide bar
The guide bar (7) is subjected to especially severe
wear and tear at the nose and the bottom. To avoid
one-sided wear and tear, turn the guide bar over eve-
ry time when you sharpen the chain.
Chain wheel
The chain wheel (16) is subjected to especially high
wear and tear. If you notice deep wear marks on
the teeth, the chain wheel must be replaced. A worn
chain wheel curtails the service life of the saw chain.
Have the chain wheel replaced by a specialist dealer
or your Customer Service.
Chain guard
The chain guard must be clipped onto the chain and
sword as soon as the sawing work has been com-
pleted and whenever the chainsaw has to be trans-
ported.
Chain brake
In the event of kick-back, the chain brake (3) will be
actuated via the front finger guard. The front finger
guard is pushed forwards by the back of the hand
and this causes the chain brake to stop the chain
saw, or rather the motor, within 0.15 s (Fig 5, H).
Releasing the chain brake (Fig. 5)
To be able to use your chain saw again, you must re-
lease the saw chain again. First switch off the chain-
saw. Then push the front finger guard (3) back into
the vertical position until it locks in place (Fig 5, I).
The chain brake is now fully functional again.

Chainsaw protection
Never use the chainsaw in the rain or in damp con-
ditions.
Warning! If the extension cable is damaged, pull the
plug out of the power socket immediately. Never work
with a damaged cable.
• Check the chainsaw for damage. Before using your
tool again, check the safety devices or any slightly
damaged parts to ensure that they are in good
working order.
• Make sure the moving parts are working correctly.
• All the parts must be correctly assembled and
meet all the conditions required to ensure that the
chainsaw works correctly.
• Any damaged safety devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced immediately by a
Customer Service workshop, unless there are in-
structions to the contrary in these operating in-
structions.
Notes on working practice
Kick-back
You can avoid accidents by not sawing with the tip of
the guide bar as this may cause the saw to rear up
suddenly. Always use the complete safety equipment
and clothes when working with the saw. Kick-back is
an upward and/or backward movement of the guide
bar which can occur if the saw chain at the tip of the
guide bar encounters an obstruction.
Make sure your work-piece is firmly secured. Use
clamps to stop the work-piece slipping. This also
makes it easier to operate the chainsaw with both
hands. Kick-back causes the saw to behave uncon-
trollably and thus brings with a slack or blunt chain.
A poorly sharpened chain increases the risk of kick-
back. Never saw above shoulder height.
Operation - tips on chain saw use
Important Notes
• Use the device exclusively for sawing wood. Do
not cut metal, plastics, masonry, building material
that is not made of wood, etc.
• Turn off the engine when the saw comes into con-
tact with a foreign object. Inspect the saw and re-
pair it if necessary.
• Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even a small
amount of dirt will quickly blunt a chain and in-
crease the risk of kickback.
• Start by cutting a few small logs, using the exercise
to get a feel for your device before you tackle more
difficult tasks.
• Press the casing of the chain saw against the log
when you start sawing.
• Allow the saw to work. Exert only slight downward
pressure.
