5. Before starting the equipment

Caution! Do not ﬁ t the battery until the equipment

have been actuated. Always wear protective

gloves when working on the equipment to protect

yourself against injury. Carefully unpack all parts

and check that they are complete (Fig. 1).

5.1 General information on assembly

a) Fig. 2-3: Push the tube (7) onto the handle

housing (2a) as far as the bead (7a) and

screw it tight with the assembly nut (6).

b) Fig. 4: Hook the carabiner (A) of the shoulder

strap (8) into the strap attachment (B).

5.2 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for

use as a pole-operated pruner)

5.2.a Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw

chain

•

Undo the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel

cover (Fig. 5).

•

Take off the chain wheel cover.

•

Lay the chain as shown in the groove which

runs around the cutter rail (Fig. 6/Item E).

•

Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in

the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 7). At the

same time guide the chain around the chain

wheel (Fig. 7/Item K).

•

Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8/Item C)

and fasten it hand-tight with the fastening

screw.

Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw

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

chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

•

Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel co-

ver a few turns (Fig. 5).

•

Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensi-

oning screw (Fig. 9/Item D). Turning the screw

clockwise increases the chain tension, tur-

ning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain

tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned

if it can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the middle of

the cutter rail (Fig. 10).

•

Secure the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel

cover (Fig. 8).

Notice! All the chain links must lie properly in the

guide groove of the cutter bar.

Notes on tensioning the chain:

The saw chain must be properly tensioned to

ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain

tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by

around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As

the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus

changes in length, check the chain tension no

less than every 10 minutes and adjust it again

as required. This applies in particular to new saw

chains. When you have ﬁ nished working slacken

the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it

cools down. This will prevent the chain from being

damaged.

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

chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Important! Never operate the chain if it is not

lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw

without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below

the viewing window will result in damage to the

chainsaw!

Important! Be aware of the temperature condi-

tions: diﬀ erent lubricants with completely diﬀ erent

viscosities are required at diﬀ erent ambient tem-

peratures. 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.
