Plug in the saw
CAREFUL!
Before connecting the saw to a source of electricity, al-
ways make sure to check that when the ON/OFF switch (1)
has been pressed in and released, it automatically comes
back out to the "off" position. If it does not, do not under
any circumstances connect the saw to a power source
- do not plug it in. Take the saw to a DOLMAR service
center before doing any work with it.
Clip the extension cord and the saw’s power cord into the cord
grip (2).
Plug the saw plug (3) into the socket of the extension cable
(4).

Using the chain saw
Always be sure of you footing and hold the chain saw firmly
with both hands while the motor is running.
Switching on the motor
- Plug in the saw (see above).
- When switching on the electric chain saw always hold it
with both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand
and the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles
tightly with your thumbs facing your fingers. The bar and
chain must not be in contact with any object.
- First depress the locking button (5) and then the power
switch (1). Then release the locking button (5).
- Attention: The chain starts running immediately. Keep
the power switch depressed as long as the motor is to run.
CAUTION:
Never lock the power switch in the ON position.
Switching off the motor
- Release the power switch (1).
NOTE:
When the chain brake is actuated the power supply to the
motor will be cut off.
If the saw does not start when the ON/OFF switch (1) is
actuated, it will be necessary to release the chain brake.
- Pull the hand guard (6) firmly in the direction of the arrow
until you feel it catch.
Important:
These models are equipped with a starting current limiter.
This electronic component prevents too abrupt starting of the
electric motor.
Excess current cutoff: When the electrical current to the saw
exceeds the permissible level, the power supply to the motor
is automatically cut off. This prevents overheating of the motor
and resulting damage. To start the saw up again, release the
ON/OFF switch and press it again.
CAUTION: Do not use the saw if the current cutoff repeatedly
switches off the saw. Consult a DOLMAR service center.
