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 19.

4. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 20 and guide

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

the two guide fins 17 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 necessary, turn the tensioning knob 14

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. (see figure )

5. Turn the tensioning knob 14 until all the slack is

taken up in the chain.

6. Fit cover plate 13. (see figure )

7. Handtighten locking knob 12 on fastening bolt 15.

(see figure )

If too tight then the chain can lose ten-

sion during use.

The locking knob must only lightly

clamp the chain bar.

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. Check if the chain links are correctly located in

the slot around the chain bar 10 and drive

sprocket 20.

3. Loosen locking knob 12 until it is just holding

chain bar in position (do not remove!).

4. Turn tensioning knob 14 clockwise until the cor-

rect chain tension is reached. The turning action

forces the chain bar 10 forward via the chain ten-

sioning 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 knob 14 anti-clockwise and re-check

chain tension. Re-adjust chain tension as de-

scribed if necessary.

7. Handtighten locking knob 12 on fastening bolt 15.

If too tight then the chain can lose ten-

sion during use.

The locking knob must only lightly

clamp the chain bar.

Important: The chain saw is not supplied

filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil

before use. Never operate the chain saw

without chain oil or at an empty oil tank

level, as this will result in extensive dam-

age to the product.

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum

lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically

oiled during operation via the oil outlet 18.

Filling oil tank:

– Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil

filler cap 4 facing upward.

– Clean area around the oil filler cap 4 with cloth,

unscrew cap.

– Add Bosch biodegradable chain saw oil until res-

ervoir is full.

– Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler

cap 4 and tighten.

Important: To allow venting of the oil res-

ervoir,small breather channels are pro-

vided between the oil filler cap, to prevent

leakage ensure machine is left in a hori-

zontal position (oil filler cap 4 uppermost)

when not in use.

It is important to use only the recom-

mended biodegradable oil to avoid dam-

age to the chain saw. Never use recycled/

old oil. Use of non approved oil will invali-

date the warranty.

Observe the correct mains voltage! The voltage

of the power source must agree with the value given

on the nameplate of the machine. Machines desig-

nated for 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
