4. Pre-tighten the chain (5) by turn-
ing the tensioning plate (24)
clockwise.
5. Position the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15). First place the tab
(26) on the cover into the corre-
sponding notch on the plate (15).
Only lightly tighten the fastening
bolt (14), as you will still have to
tension the saw.
Refer to the start-up section on how
to tension the saw chain.
Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the
guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because
dirt deposits available can cause the chain
to break out of the rail. The deposits can
also absorb the chain oil. So the conse-
quence would be that the chain oil would
not or only a small part of it would reach
the underside of the rail and the lubrication
would be reduced.
Changing the saw bar
F
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
from the mains.
2. Lay the saw on a flat surface.
3. Turn the fastening bolt (14) anti-
clockwise and loose the chain
adjustment ring (
A
13) to remove
the sprocket chain wheel cover-
ing (15).
4. Remove the saw bar (4) and saw
chain (
A
5) . To remove the guide
bar (4), raise it to an angle of ap-
prox. 45 degrees. This will make
it easier to take the saw chain (5)
off the sprocket ( G 25).
5. To fit the new bar, place the bar
(4) onto the bar bolt (22) with
the tensioning plate pointing out-
wards (24).
Sawing techniques
General
• You have better control when you saw
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with pulling saw chain) and not to with
the top side of the chain bar (with push-
ing saw chain).
• The saw chain must not contact either
the ground or another object during
sawing through or after sawing comple-
tion.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.
Bucking
This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.

1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the
end of the cut not to contact the
ground.
