whereas a correctly tightened chain provides the best cutting
characteristics and prolonged working life! The chain life mainly depends
upon sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning!
 Set the product on a suitable flat surface.

Turn the tension wheel (8) until the chain “tie straps” are just touching the bottom edge of
the guide bar (4) (Fig. 8).
 Check the chain tension using one hand to lift the saw chain (3) against the weight of the
product. The correct chain tension is achieved when the saw chain can be lifted by
approximately 2 - 4 mm from the guide bar (4) in the centre (Figs. 9, 10).
 Turn the locking wheel (7) clockwise to tighten the cover (9) completely (Fig. 11)
8.3 Lubrication
WARNING! The product is not filled with oil. It is essential to fill the product
with oil before using it! Never operate the product without chain oil or with
an empty oil tank, as this will result in extensive damage to the product!
Never operate the bar and chain without lubrication oil! Operating the
product dry or with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten the
product life span and cause rapid wear to the chain and bar from
overheating! Insufficient oil is evident by smoke or bar discoloration!
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain during cutting operations is essential
to minimise friction with the guide bar. Your product is equipped with an
automatic oiling system! The oiling system automatically delivers the
proper amount of oil to the bar and chain!
 Set the product on any suitable surface with the tank cap (14) facing upwards.
 Unscrew and remove the tank cap (14), then add the lubricant into the tank. Use a proper
funnel with a filter to prevent debris entering the tank and to avoid spilling and overfilling
the tank. Do not overfill and leave approximately 5mm of space to the lower edge to allow
the lubricant to expand (Fig. 12).
NOTE: In summer use SAE #30; in winter, or if the trees have excessive
sap, use SAE #10.
 Check the oil level window (19) prior to start-up and regularly during operation. Refill oil
when the oil level is lower than “MIN” marking (Fig. 13).
 Wipe up spilled lubricant with a soft cloth and refit the tank cap (14).
NOTE: Always dispose of lubricant, used oil and objects contaminated with
them in accordance with local regulations
8.4 Connection to the power supply
WARNING! For your safety, it is required that the plug attached to this
product is always connected to an extension cable! The extension cable
must be suitable for outdoor use with sockets protected against water
splashing! Ensure the extension cable is of the proper size and type for
your product (≥ 1.5mm2)! The extension cable must always be used with
the cable strain relief! Do not use the product without an extension cable
connected. Always use a residual current supply (RCD) protected supply!
