Chain saw safety warnings
1) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when saw chain is moving.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. Saw chain continues to
move after the switch is turned off . A moment
of inattention while operating the pole chain
saw may result in serious personal injury.
2) Carry the pole chain saw by the handle with
the saw chain stopped. When transporting
or storing the pole chain saw, always fi t the
saw chain guard. Proper handling of the pole
chain saw will reduce possible personal injury
from the saw chain.
3) Hold the pole chain saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. A saw chain contacting
a ″live″ wire may make exposed metal parts
of the pole chain saw ″live″ and could give
the operator an electric shock.
4) Do not use the pole chain saw in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk
of lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
5) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use

5.2 Fitting the chain saw attachment (for use
as a pole chain saw)
5.2.a Assembly of the bar and the saw chain
Undo the chain tension lock knob (27) of the
•
chain wheel cover (Fig. 6).
Take off the chain wheel cover.
•
Lay the chain as shown in the groove which
•
runs around the chain saw bar (Fig. 7).
Insert the bar and chain as shown in the
•
mounting of the chain saw (Fig. 8). At the
same time guide the chain around the
sprocket wheel (Fig. 8/ Item 28).
Attach the chain wheel cover and fasten it
•
hand-tight with the chain tension lock knob
(Fig. 9/Item 27).
Do not fully tighten the chain tension lock knob
until after you have adjusted the chain tension
(see section 5.2.b.).
5.2.b Tensioning the saw chain
Caution! Always remove the battery from the
device before inspection and adjustment. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
Undo the chain tension lock knob (27) of the
•
chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 6).
Adjust the chain tension with the chain
•
tensioning wheel (Fig. 10/Item 29). Turning
the wheel clockwise increases the chain
tension, turning it counter-clockwise
decreases the chain tension. The saw chain
is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted approx.
0.08" (2 mm) in the middle of the bar (Fig. 11).
Tighten the chain tension lock knob (27) of
•
the chain wheel cover (Fig. 9).
Important! All the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised
by around 0.08" (2 mm) in the middle of the bar,
you know that the chain tension is ideal. During
cutting, the temperature of the chain rises and
its length changes. It is important therefore to
check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes
and to adjust it again as required. This applies
in particular to new saw chains. When you have
fi nished working, slacken the chain again as it
will shorten when it cools down. This will help to
prevent damage to the chain.
5.2.c Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the
device before inspection and adjustment. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the chain
saw to protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not
lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chain saw
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the
viewing window will result in damage to the chain
saw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature
conditions:
Diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent
viscosities are required at diff erent ambient
temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient
lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone,
and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 12):
Place the chain saw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Fig.
•
12/Item 31) and then open the oil tank cap.
Fill the oil tank (Fig. 12/Item 30) with saw
•
chain oil. In the process, make sure that no
dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil
nozzle to become blocked.
Close the oil tank cap (Fig. 12/Item 31).
•
After the chain saw attachment has been fi tted
and when the equipment is not being used, slip
the chain saw guard (Fig. 1/Item 17) over the
mounted bar with saw chain in order to prevent
injuries.
5.3 Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 13-
