Electrical Safety

Your machine is double insulated for safety and re-

quires no earth connection. The operating voltage is

230 V a.c., 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V,

240 V as applicable). Only use approved extension

cables. Extension cords/leads should only be used

if they comply with H07 RN-F types or IEC type de-

sign (60 245 IEC 66).

If you want to use an extension cable when operat-

ing your product, only the following cable dimen-

sions should be used:

– 1.0 mm

: max length 40 m

– 1.5 mm

: max length 60 m

– 2.5 mm

: max length 100 m

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to

use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping

current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your

RCD every time you use it.

For products not sold in GB: WARNING: For

safety, it is essential that the mains plug 23 attached

to the machine is fitted to the power supply cable 25

as shown.

The couplings of connection leads must be pro-

tected against splashes and the coupling sockets on

the leads must be made of rubber or coated with

rubber.

Fixing means for the connection leads must be

used.

The connection lead must be inspected for signs of

damage at regular intervals and may only be used if

in perfect condition.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

a Bosch Service Centre.

Products sold in GB only: Your chain saw is fitted

with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and

is protected by a 13 A fuse (ASTA Approved to

BS 1362).

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket out-

lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fit-

ted in its place by an authorized customer service

agent.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a

possible shock hazard and should never be inserted

into a 13 A socket elsewhere.

Do not connect the chain saw to mains be-

fore it is completely assembled.

■ Always use gloves when handling the chain.

Chain and chain bar Assembly

1. Unpack all parts carefully.

2. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.

3. Slide the chain 9 in the slot around the chain

bar 10. Ensure chain is in correct running direc-

tion by comparing with chain symbol 20.

4. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 21 and guide

the chain bar 10, so that the fastening bolt 15 and

the two guide fins 18 fit into the keyway of the chain

bar 10, and that the chain tensioning peg 16 fits into

the respective hole of the chain bar 10. If neces-

sary, adjust chain tensioning screw 17 with adjust-

ing tool 13 to bring tensioning peg 16 in alignment

with the hole in the chain bar 10.

Check if all parts are seated properly and hold chain

and chain bar in a level position.

5. Fit cover plate 12.

6. Handtighten locking nut 14 on fastening bolt 15.

Tensioning chain

Always check the chain tension before use, after the

first cuts and regularly during use, approx. every

10 minutes. Upon initial operation, new chains can

lengthen considerably.

The chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon

sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning.

Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will

cause the chain to become overtensioned when it

cools down.

1. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.

2. Ensure locking nut 14 is hand tight only.

3. Check if the chain links are correctly located in the

slot around the chain bar 10 and drive

sprocket 21.

4. Turn chain tensioning screw 17 clockwise using

adjusting tool 13, until the correct chain tension is

reached. The screwing action forces the chain

bar 10 forward via the chain tensioning peg 16.

5. The correct chain tension is reached when the

chain 9 can be raised approx. 3 – 4 mm from the

chain bar in the centre. This should be done by

using one hand to raise the chain against the

weight of the machine.

6. If the chain 9 is overtensioned, slightly turn the

tensioning screw 17 anti-clockwise and re-check

chain tension. Re-adjust chain tension as de-

scribed if necessary.

7. Re-tighten locking nut 14 fully with adjustment

tool.

For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains

before adjusting cleaning or if the cable is cut,

damaged or entangled.

Caution! Do not touch rotating chain.

Do not operate chain saw near other people,

children or animals. Do not operate chain saw

after drinking alcohol or under the influence of

intoxicating drugs or medication.
