If an oil trace can be seen, the chain-
saw 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 (28), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.

Changing the saw bar

1. Switch off the device and remove the
batteries ( 16) from the device.
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (11) and the
screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (12) in counter-clockwise
direction in order to loosen the chain
tension and to remove the sprocket
chain wheel cover (13).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw chain
(6). 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 (6) off the sprocket (20).
5. Replace the blade and install the blade
and chain as described under "Install-
ing the sawing chain and blade".
Refer to the start-up section on how
to tension the saw chain.

Sawing techniques

General

Observe the noise protection and
local regulations when cutting
wood. Local requirements may
require a suitability test. Ask the
forestry commission.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire must be removed from the tree.
• For sawing work on a slope, always
stand above the tree trunk.
• To keep control at the moment of
"sawing through", reduce the contact
pressure at the end of the cut without
loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw
handles. Ensure that the saw chain does
not come into contact with the ground.
• After completing the cut, wait for the
chainsaw to come to a standstill before
removing the chainsaw.
• Always switch off the chainsaw motor
before moving from one tree to another.
• Lay the connecting lead such that it will
not be caught on branches or similar
during sawing.
• For each cut, apply the claw stop se-
curely and only then start sawing.
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to with
the top side of the chain bar (with push-
ing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either the
ground or another object during sawing
through or after sawing completion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety)..
