Filling the oil reservoir:
Set chain saw on any suitable surface with the oil filler cap (4) facing upward.
Clean area around the oil filler cap (4) with a cloth and unscrew the cap.
Add Bosch biodegradable chain saw oil until oil level reads “max” on oil level gauge (7).
Avoid dirt or debris from entering the oil reservoir. Screw on oil filler cap (4) again and tighten.
Run chain saw for 30 seconds to prime oil system.
Note: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are provided in the oil filler cap. To prevent
leakage, ensure the chain saw is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap (4) uppermost) when not in use.
Note: It is important to use only readily biodegradable chain lubricants (according to RAL-UZ 48) to avoid damage to
the chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty.
Note: Oil becomes denser at lower temperatures which decreases the flow rate of oil.
Operation
Inserting the battery
Insert the charged battery (17). Make sure that the battery is fully fitted.
Switching On and Off
Hold the chain saw as described in section “Working with the Chain Saw”.
To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the On/Off switch (3) and then press the On/Off switch (2) and
keep it pressed.
When the machine is running, the lock-off button can be released again.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch (2).
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch (2) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Working with the Chain Saw
Before Cutting
Before starting operation and periodically during cutting, carry out the following checks:
Is the chain saw in a fail-safe condition?
Is the oil reservoir filled? Check oil level gauge prior to starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil
level has reached the bottom edge of the viewing glass.
The oil tank filling will last approx. 15 minutes, depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Is the saw chain properly tensioned and sharp? Check chain tension every 10 minutes during operation. Upon
initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
The condition of the chain influences the cutting performance. Only a sharp chain protects from overload.
Are you wearing the required protective equipment?
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended.
Suitable protective clothing reduces the danger of injury from thrown about cutting material and accidental
touching of the saw chain.
Use a protective mask when cutting treated wood.
Check if there is a power cable in the cutting area.
Kickback
Never remove or alter the tip protector! The saw is equipped with a tip protector to prevent kickback if the tip of
the saw is accidentally pressed against the wood.
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the chain
bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs, the chainsaw reacts unpredictable and can cause heavy injuries to the operator or
bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the gripping teeth (8)
usually can not be applied. To avoid kickback:
Saw with the chain bar at a flat angle.
Never work with a loose, widely stretched or heavily worn out saw chain.
