always switch off the engine and pull the plug

CAUTION: Start the chain saw only after having assembled
it completely and inspected.

sprocket (E/11). Using your right hand, guide the chain into

cutting edges along the top of the chain must point in the
direction of the arrow!
- Lead the chain (F/10) around the sprocket nose (F/12) of
the guide bar.
NOTE: The chain should be easy to pull in the direction of the
