Noise and vibration values were determined according to the standards and stipulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity.

Technical and optical changes can be carried out in the course of further development without notice. All dimensions, references and information of this instruction manual are therefore without guarantee.

Legal claims, which are made on the basis of the instruction manual, cannot thus be considered as valid.

The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another.

The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Warning: The vibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.

Safety precautions aimed at protecting the user should be based on estimated exposure under actual usage conditions (all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered, including, for example, times during which the power tool is turned off and times when the tool is turned on but is running idle).

General notes on safety

Before you do any work with the electric chainsaw, make yourself familiar with all operating parts. Practise using the saw (sawing logs on a sawhorse) and get an experienced user or a specialist to explain to you the function of the saw, the way of working, the techniques of sawing and the personal protection equipment.

Observe noise control and local regulations.

Caution! When using power tools, observe the following basic safety measures for the prevention of electric shocks and the risk of injury and fire. There is a risk of injury!

General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety

directions and instructions.

Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without power cord).

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due to electric shock:

• Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (ground-

ed) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

• Avoid body contact with earthed

or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-

34

GB

frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to

rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service organization.

• If it is necessary to replace the connection cable, we recommend that this be performed by the manufacturer or an authorised representative (e.g. authorised workshop, customer service, etc.).

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Connect the appliance to a power socket with a residual current circuit breaker of rated residual current no more than

30 mA.

• Use only approved power cable of type H05RN-F, which are no more than

75 m in length and intended for use outdoors. The conductor cross section of the cord must be at least 2.5 mm

2

.

Always fully unroll a cable drum before use. Check the power cord for damage.

Personal safety

CAUTION: In this way you avoid accidents and injuries:

• Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-

cation. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Wear personal protective equip-

ment and always wear safety

glasses. Wearing personal protective equipment such as nonslip safety boots, cut protection trousers, a hard hat or ear protection reduces the risk of injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the pow-

er tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts.

Jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an electromagnetic

35

GB

field which, under certain circumstances, may impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the machine.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and

off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly.

• Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

Iikely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• 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.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced

by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

• Follow the maintenance, control and service instructions in this manual carefully.

Damaged safety equipment and parts must be repaired or replaced professionally by our service centre, unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.

36

GB

Chain saw safety warnings:

• Keep all parts of the body

away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention white operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

• Always hold the chain saw with

your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on

the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

• Hold the power tool only on the

insulated handle surfaces, as the saw chain may come into contact

with concealed power cables.

Contact between the saw chain and a live cable may render metallic components live and result in an electric shock

• Wear safety glasses and ear

protection. Other protective equipment for the head, hands,

legs and feet is compulsory. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidentaI contact with the saw chain.

• Do not operate a chain saw in a

tree. Operation of a chain saw white up in a tree may result in personal in jury.

• Always keep proper footing

and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure

and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

• When cutting a branch that

is under tension be alert for

spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded Iimb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cut-

ting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the

front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always

fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the Iikelihood of accidentaI contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubri-

cating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.

Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and

free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain

saw for purposes not intended.

For example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry

or non-wood building materials.

Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation

37

GB

Causes and operator prevention of kickback

Beware of kickback! Be careful of kickback of the machine during work. There is danger of injury here.

You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a correct sawing technique.

Fig. 1

• Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut

(cf. image 1/fig. B).

• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator (cf. image 1/fig. A).

• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

• Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs

and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut

above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and

chains specified by the manufac-

turer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer´s sharp-

ening and maintenance instruc-

tions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Further safety directions

• If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service organization.

• If it is necessary to replace the connection cable, we recommend that this be performed by the manufacturer or an authorised representative (e.g. authorised workshop, customer service, etc.).

• Lay the extension cable in such a way that it will not be caught by branches or similar during sawing.

• Use a surge protector with a release current of 30 mA or less.

• Comply carefully with maintenance, control and service instructions in this manual. Damaged protective de-

38

GB

vices and parts have to be repared or changed except as noted otherwise in this manual.

Safety functions

A

1 Rear grip with hand guard

(16)

Protects the hand against branches and boughs in the case of springing away by the chain.

3 Chain braking lever/hand guard

Control system, which stops the saw chain immediately in case of a spring-back; lever can also be activated manually; protects the left hand of the operator if it slides from the front grip.

The motor cannot be turned on if the chain brake has engaged.

5 Saw chain with small spring-back

Helps you to catch spring-backs with specially developed control systems.

7 Metal stop claw

Reinforces the stability when vertical cuts are carried out and facilitates sawing.

9 Electric motor

Double insulated for safety reasons.

10 On-off switch with safety chain brake

On releasing the On/Off switch, the device immediately switches off.

11 Switch-on block

The switch-on block must be released for switching on the device.

12 Chain catcher

Decreases the danger of injuries if the chain breaks or if it comes off.

Operation startup

Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts. Pull out the power plug before doing any work on the chainsaw itself -– injury hazard!

Before you start up the electric chainsaw, mount the sword, mount the chain, adjust the chain, fill up with chain oil and check the automatic lubrication and chain brake function.

Mount the saw bar

F

1. Lay the saw on a flat surface.

2. Turn the fastening bolt (14) anti-

clockwise to remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (15).

3. To fit the new bar, place the bar

(4) onto the bar bolt (23) with the tensioning plate pointing outwards (24).

Mount the saw chain

G

1. Spread the chain (5) out into a loop with the cutting edges running clockwise .

2. Relax the tensioning screw (24)

against the clockwise

direction.

3. Slide the saw chain (5) into the bar guide groove. To mount the guide bar (4), raise it to an angle

39

GB

of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to replace the saw chain (5) onto the sprocket (25).

It is normal that the saw chain (5) is slack. Sagging in the chain is normal.

4. Pre-tighten the chain (5) by turning the tensioning plate (24) clockwise.

5. Position the sprocket chain wheel covering (15). First place the tab

(26) on the cover into the corresponding notch on the plate (15).

Only lightly tighten the fastening bolt (14), as you will still have to tension the saw.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/ or prevents wear and chain damages.

Before the start of work and in approx. 10 minute intervals, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it, if necessary.

The chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These

“expansions” can be expected especially from newer chains.

Note that the saw can re-oil.

Please note that the saw re-oils after use and oil may leak out if it is stored on its side or on the head. This is a normal process due to the necessary ventilation opening on the upper edge of the tank and does not constitute a reason for complaint.

As each saw is checked during production and tested with oil, a small residue may be in the tank despite draining, which may slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit.

Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because dirt deposits available can cause the chain to break out of the rail. The deposits can also absorb the chain oil. So the consequence would be that the chain oil would not or only a small part of it would reach the underside of the rail and the lubrication would be reduced.

Do not re-tighten or change the chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. In case of nonobservance, this can lead to damages on the guide rail or the engine because now the chain is too taut on the blade.

Chain tension and chain lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the chain.

The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not sag at the rail underside and can be rotated completely around with the gloved hand.

When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N

(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2 mm.

10 min

B

1. Ensure that the chain brake has been released, that is, that the chain brake lever (3) is pulled up against the front grip (8).

40

GB

2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).

3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain adjustment ring (13) clockwise.

To loosen the tension, turn the chain adjustment ring anti-

clockwise.

4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14) again.

With a new saw chain, you must readjust the chain tension after at least 5 cutting operations.

C

1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill up with chain oil.

2. Wipe off any spilled oil and close the cap (2) again.

Always switch off the device and allow the motor to cool before filling with chain oil.

There is a risk of fire if oil overflows.

Operating the chainsaw

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be without oil. If you operate the electric chainsaw with too little oil, the cutting performance and the lifetime of the saw chain is reduced, since the chain becomes blunt faster. You can identify a case of too little oil where smoke development or discoloration of the rail occurs.

Switch on the chainsaw only when chain bar, saw chain and sprocket chain wheel covering are correctly assembled. Ensure the voltage of the mains connection agrees with the label on the device. Make sure you have a secure stance. Make sure before you start that the electric chain saw is not touching anything.

Caution! Saw can oil up, see notes on Operation startup.

As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the chain bar (4).

Switching on

Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil fill level (

C

21/22) and regularly top up with oil. The oil tank holds 270 ml oil.

• Use Parkside bio-oil; this product contains additives that reduce wear and tear and does not damage the pump system. bio-oil is available from our

Service-Center.

• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil available, use chain lubrication oil with low adhesive additive content.

• Empty the oil tank before longer periods

(6-8 weeks) of non-use.

D

1. Check before the start, whether sufficient chain oil is in the tank and, if necessary, refill with chain oil (see Chapter Operation

Startup).

2. Form a loop from the end of the extension cable and hang this into the tension relief (17) on the rear grip (1).

3. Connect the device to the mains voltage.

4. Release the chain brake, where you shift the brake arm (3) back against the front grip (8).

41

GB

5. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear grip (1) and the left hand on the front handle

(8). Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles.

6. For switching on, activate the switch-on block (11) with the right thumb and then press the On/Off switch (10), the electric power saw runs with highest speed.

Release the switch-on block (11) again.

7. The power saw switches off when you release the On/Off switch

(10) again. Switching for continuous running is not possible.

Checking the chain 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.

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 (8). Chain should stop abruptly.

7. Once the chain brake is working properly, 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 repair.

Checking the chain lubrication

Check the oil level and the chain lubrication system before commencement of work.

E

1. Place the electric chainsaw onto a solid, flat surface. It must not contact any objects.

2. Connect the device to the mains voltage.

3. Release the chain brake by shifting the brake arm (3) over against the front grip (8).

4. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly with both hands, with the right hand on the rear handle (

A

1) and the left hand on the front handle (8). Thumb and finger must close securely over the handles.

5. Turn on the electric chainsaw.

• 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.

5. To fit the new bar, place the bar

(4) onto the bar bolt (23) with the tensioning plate pointing outwards (24).

Sawing techniques

General

• 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 pushing 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).

If the saw chain jams, you do not attempt to pull out the electric chainsaw using power. There is a danger of injury here. Switch off the motor and use a lever or wedge to free the electric chainsaw.

Felling trees

A lot of experience is necessary in felling trees. Cut down trees only when you can safely handle the electric chainsaw. In no case should you use the electric chainsaw if you feel unsure about anything.

For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter.

• Ensure that no people or animals are in the field of action. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest-located workplace must be

2 1/2 tree lengths.

• Note the felling direction:

The user must be able to move safely near the felled tree, to saw off the tree easily and remove branches.It is to be avoided that the felled tree snags itself on another tree. Note the natural felling direction, which is dependent on the slope and curvature characteristic of the tree, wind direction and the number of branches.

• In the case of sloping ground, stand above the tree to be felled.

• Small trees, with a diameter of 15-18 cm, can usually be sawn off with one cut.

2. Escape area:

Remove the undergrowth around the tree to ensure an easy escape. The escape area (1) should be around 45° either side behind the planned felling direction (2).

Q

Do not fell any trees when a strong or changing wind is blowing, if the danger of property damage exists or if the tree could fall on electric wires.

P Q R S

Remove hanging branches by

Z

never work higher than shoulder level.

T

3. Cutting notch (A):

Make a felling notch in the direction in which you wish the tree to fall. Start with the bottom, horizontal cut. The cut depth should be around 1/3 of the trunk diameter. Now make a slanted saw cut from above at an angle of roughly 45° to meet exactly with the bottom saw cut.

Q

R

S

4. Felling back cut (B):

Make the back cut from the other side of the log, where you stand to the left of the log and saw with the chainsaw pulling. The back cut must run horizontally 5 cm above the horizontal notched cut.

The back cut should be so deep that the separation distance between the back cut and the notch cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part of the log not sawed through is designated as a break dimension.

5. Insert a felling wedge or a crowbar into the back cut, as soon as the depth of cut permits this, in order to prevent a jamming of the chain bar.

6. If the trunk diameter is larger than the length of the chain bar, make two cuts.

7. After carrying out of the back cut, the tree falls by itself or with the aid of the felling wedge or crowbar.

As soon as the tree begins to fall, pull out the saw from the section, stop the motor, place the electric chainsaw down and leave the workplace using the withdrawal path.

O

Limbing

Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of branches and boughs from a felled tree.

Never step in front of a tree which is notched.

Many accidents occur during the removal of branches. Never cut tree limbs when you are standing on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if branches are under tension.

44

GB

• Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.

• Branches under tension must be sawed from below to above, in order to prevent jamming of the chainsaw.

• When working on thicker branches, use the same technique as when you are sawing up a felled trunk.

Work to the left of the log and as near as possible to the electric chainsaw. As far as possible, the weight of the saw should rest on the log.

• Change position to saw off branches on the other side of the trunk.

• Branches sticking out are cut off separately.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk into smaller sections.

• Ensure that the saw chain does not come in contact with the ground during sawing.

• Make sure you have a secure stance and, in the case of sloping ground, stand above the log.

K

L

1. Log is lying on the ground:

Saw through the log completely from above and ensure at the end of the cut not to contact the ground.

If you can turn the tree trunk, saw two-thirds of the way through it.

Then turn the trunk around and saw the rest of the way through from above.

2. Log is supported at one end:

Start sawing from the bottom and work your way up (with the upper edge of the bar) a third of the way into the diameter of the trunk to prevent splitting. Then saw from the top downwards with the lower edge of the bar towards the first cut to prevent the bar from becoming jammed in the wood.

M

3. Log is supported at both

N ends:

Start from the top and work down

(with the lower edge of the bar) to a third of the diameter of the trunk. Then saw from underneath with the upper edge of the bar until the two cuts meet.

4. Sawing on a sawhorse:

Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. Once the saw is through the wood, guide the machine passed you on the right (1). Hold your left arm as straight as you can (2).

Watch out for the falling trunk.

Position yourself to prevent any danger from the separated trunk.

Watch your feet. The trunk may cause injuries when falling. Keep your balance (3).

Maintenance and cleaning

Basically, carry out maintenance and cleaning works with switched-off motor and power plug removed. Danger of injury!

Leave any maintenance and servicing work not covered by this manual to our Service-Center. Use only original spare parts.

Allow the machine to cool down before all maintenance and cleaning works. Danger of burn injuries!

45

GB

Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.

• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents or petrol for cleaning!

• Clean the saw chain after every use.

Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do not use any liquids to clean the chain.

After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with chain oil.

• When cleaning, also remove the chain wheel cover (15) so that this area can be cleaned as well.

• Clean the chain bar (Guide) (4).

• Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the machine with a paint brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning.

• Clean the oil passages of the chain bar (27), in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.

Maintenance intervals

Regularly carry out the maintenance operations listed in the following table. The life of the saw is extended by regular maintenance of your chainsaw. Furthermore, you get optimum cutting performance and avoid accidents.

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly.

In this way, you keep the chain sharp and get optimum machine performance. In case of damage due to inadequate maintenance of the saw chain, the guarantee claim is invalid.

Remove the power plug and use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once weekly, depending on which comes first.

• Before oiling, the chain bar must be cleaned thoroughly, in particular the teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry cloth for that.

• Oil the individual chain links with the aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint tip (available in the specialist trade).

Place individual oil drops onto the articulated links and onto the tooth tips of the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened saw chain increases the danger of spring-back!

Use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

A sharp chain guarantees an optimal cutting performance. It eats effortlessly through the wood and leaves large, long wooden chips.

A saw chain is blunt if you have to press the cutting equipment through the wood and the wooden chips are very small. In the case of a very blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings result at all, only sawdust.

• The sawing parts of the chain are the cutting elements, which consist of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting projection. The vertical separation distance between these two determines the sharpness depth.

• The following values must be noted in sharpening the cutting teeth:

H

- Sharp edge angle (30°)

- Breast angle (85°)

- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)

- Round file diameter (4.0 mm)

Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident!

Special tools are necessary for sharpening the chain, which guarantee that the cutting edges are sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. For the inexperienced user of chainsaws, we recommend to have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist or a specialist workshop. If you think yourself capable of sharpening the chain, you can acquire the special tools in the specialist trade.

I

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it from the mains.

2. Remove the saw chain (refer to the section on operating the saw). The chain should be welltensioned to ensure proper sharpening.

47

GB

3. For the sharpening, a round file with 4.0 mm diameter is necessary.

you have to re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 minutes’ sawing time.

Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

4. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the file when you are withdrawing it.

5. Sharpen first the teeth on one side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.

6. The chain is worn and must be replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.

7. After the sharpening, all cutting elements must now be equal in length and width.

8. After every third sharpening, the sharpness depth (depth limitation) must be checked and the height filed with the aid of a flat file. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it off a little at the front.

Never attach a new chain to a worn drive pinion or place onto a damaged or worn chain bar. The chain could spring back or break, potentially leading to serious injury.

Maintaining the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

1. Switch off the saw and pull out the power plug (18).

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (15), the saw chain (5) and the chain bar (4).

3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Remove burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a flat file.

4. Clean the oil passages (

J

27) of the chain bar, in order to guarantee a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain during operation.

5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and sprocket chain wheel covering (15) and tighten the chainsaw.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is described in the chapter: Starting operation, tensioning chainsaw.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force decreases after some time. Therefore,

With the oil nozzles in good condition and the oil regulator set correctly, the saw chain will spray a little oil off after starting.

Turn the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar.

48

GB

The blade (4) has to be reversed regularly after a working time of approximately 10 hours in order to ensure even wear.

1. Switch off the saw and pull out the power plug (18).

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (15), the saw chain (5) and the chain bar (4).

3. Put the sword (4) front and rotate it on the back. Loosen the fixation screw (28) and remove the tensioning plate (24).

4. Attach the tensioning plate (24) with the fixing screw (28) from the other side to the sword (4).

This, make sure that the clamping screw bolt (29) is down. The round nose (24a) the clamping screw sprocket must point in the direction.

F

5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw

(5) and sprocket chain wheel covering (15) and tighten the chainsaw.

Waste disposal and environmental protection

Do not dispose of used oil in the sewage system or drains. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally correct manner - bring it to a waste disposal center.

Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool, accessories and packaging to a recycling centre when you have finished with them.

Machines do not belong with domestic waste.

Empty the oil tank carefully and hand in your electric chainsaw at a disposal center.

The plastic and metal parts employed can be separated out and thus recycled use can be implemented. Ask our Service-
