Operation startup
Always wear protective gloves
when working with the chainsaw
and employ only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before
doing any work on the chainsaw
itself -– injury hazard!
The tool is completely assembled on
delivery.Before you start up the electric
chainsaw, adjust the chain, fill up with
chain oil and check the automatic lubrica-
tion and chain brake function.
Tensioning the saw chain
With a correctly tensioned chain you get
good cutting performance and a longer
life.
An incorrectly tensioned chain
may break or spring off, lead-
ing to danger of injury. Test the
electric saw before every start
and the chain tension after every
hour of sawing.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw
chain and the guide rail may not be more
than 2 mm.
B 1. Ensure that the chain brake has
been released, that is, that the
chain brake lever is pulled up
against the front grip (8).
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).
3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain
adjustment ring (13) clockwise.
To loosen the tension, turn the
chain adjustment ring anti-clock-
wise.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14)
again.
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.
Chain lubrication
The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the life-
time of the saw chain is reduced,
since the chain becomes blunt
faster. You can identify a case of
too little oil where smoke develop-
ment or discoloration of the rail oc-
curs.
The power saw is equipped with an oil
automatic system. As soon as the motor is
speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the
chain bar.
• Check the oil fill level and regularly top
up with oil (
C
21). The oil tank holds
270 ml oil.
• Use Parkside bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center (see P. 109 for the ad-
dress).
