Before starting the equipment

Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Danger! Do not fi t the battery until the chainsaw has been fully assembled and the chain tension has been set. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain

• Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are complete (Fig. 2-3).
• Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel co-ver (8) (Fig. 4).
• Take off the chain wheel (8) (Fig. 5).
• Lay the chain (16) as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (15) (Fig. 6a/Item A).
• Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw. At the same time guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 6b/6c/Item B).
• Attach the chain wheel cover and secure it with the fixing screw (9) (Fig. 7). Caution: Do not fully tighten the fixing screw until after adjusting the chain tension (refer to point 5.2).

Tensioning the saw chain

Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any checks or adjustments. Al-ways wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

• Undo the fixing screw (9) of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 4).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 8/ Item 10). Turning the screw clockwise increases the tension, turning it counter-clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 9).
• Tighten the fixing screw (9) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 7).
  Danger! All of the chain links must lie proper-ly in the guide groove of the cutter rail.

Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, please check the chain tension every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have finished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.

Saw chain lubrication

Warning! Always pull out the battery before per-forming any checks or adjustments. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.

Notice! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the “min” mark (Fig. 10/ Item B) will damage the chainsaw.

Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
Different lubricants with completely different viscosities are required at different ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a sufficient lubricating film. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants.

Filling the oil tank:

• Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Fig. 10/Item A) and then clean the oil tank cover.
• Fill the tank with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
• Close the oil tank cover.

 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 11-12)

The battery is protected from exhaustive discharge. An integrated protective circuit automatically switches off the equipment when the battery is fl at.

Warning! Do not actuate the On/Off switch any more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may damage the battery.

1. Remove the battery pack from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (13) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (18) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-ger.

In section 12 (Charger indicator) you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

• Voltage at the power socket
• Whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send:

• The charger and charging adapter
• And the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 11)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (A). The battery capacity indicator (B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

• All 3 LEDs are lit:
  The battery is fully charged.

• 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
  The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

• 1 LED fl ashes:
  The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

• All LEDs blink:
  The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

Switching on/off

Switching on

• Plug in the battery on the equipment.
• Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both hands as shown in Fig. 13 (thumbs under the handles).
• Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 5).
• Switch on the chainsaw at the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release the safe-ty lock-off.

Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chain-saw to a standstill within a very short space of time. Always disconnect the mains plug when you stop working, even if it is only for a short time.

Warning! Always carry the saw by the front handle. If the saw is plugged in and you carry it by the rear handle (which is where the switches are located), then there is a risk that you could accidentally press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could
inadvertently start up.

Safety devices

Motor brake
The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the power supply is interrupted. This signifi cantly reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be present if the chain continued to run after being
switched off or disconnected.

Chain brake
The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is triggered via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2). If kickback causes the chainsaw to suddenly jerk back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check the operation of the chain brake on a regular ba-sis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) forward and briefl y switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain must not start up.
Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until it engages to release the chain brake.

Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equip-ment is not working properly. Never try to repair safety related protection systems yourself – al-ways have any work done by our service depart-ment or by a similarly qualifi ed workshop.

Hand guard
The front hand guard (which also acts as the chain brake at the same time) (Fig. 1/Item 2) and the rear hand guard (Fig. 1/ Item 14) protect against finger injuries resulting from contact with the saw chain if the chain breaks because it is overloaded.

Working with the chainsaw

Preparations

To ensure that you can work safely, check the following points before every use:

Condition of the chain saw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw which is obviously damaged.

Oil container
Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that sufficient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the “min” mark (Fig. 10/Item B).
On average, a single fi lling will last around 15 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved.

Saw chain
Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. The sharper the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the chain-saw. The same also applies to the chain tension. Again, while working also check the chain tension every 10 minutes in order to increase your safety. New saw chains in particular often tend to expand more.

Chain brake
Check the operation of the chain brake as de-scribed in the chapter “Safety devices” and then release it.

Safety clothing
Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety clothing like special trousers which protect against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes.

Hearing protection and protective goggles.
When felling trees or performing forest work, al-ways wear a protective helmet with integral face and hearing protection. This will offer protection against falling branches and any branches if they spring back.

Description of the correct procedures for basic use of the chainsaw

Felling a tree (Figs. 14-17)
If two or more persons are working at the same time on felling and cutting back then the minimum distance between the tree being felled and the tree being cut back should be at least twice the height of the tree being felled (Fig. 14). When felling trees, care must be taken to ensure that no other persons are endangered, no power supply lines are hit and no material damage is caused to equipment or property. In the event that a tree comes into contact with a power supply line, he responsible power supply company should be informed immediately.
When working with the saw on a slope, the opera-tor of the chainsaw must be standing at a higher point on the slope than the tree being felled, as the tree will roll or slip downhill once it has been felled (Fig. 15).
Before felling the tree you must fi rst plan and if necessary clear an escape route. This escape route must lead away diagonally in the opposite direction to the expected fall direction – this can be seen in Fig. 16 (A= danger zone, B= direction of fall, C= escape zone).

Before felling the tree you must take into account the natural inclination of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction, as this will help you to correctly determine the direction in which the tree will fall.
Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree.

Making the felling notch (Fig. 17)
Cut a notch (A) at right angles to the fall direction to a depth of 1/3 of the tree diameter as shown in Fig. 17. First make the lower horizontal felling notch (1). This prevents the saw chain or the guide rail from becoming trapped when the second felling notch is made.

The felling cut should be positioned at least 50 mm above the horizontal felling notch. Make the felling cut (B) parallel to the horizontal felling notch. The felling cut should be cut to a depth which leaves a thin strip (felling hinge strip) (D) which can act as a hinge. This strip prevents the tree from rotating and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the strip. When the felling cut gets close to the strip the tree should start to fall. If it becomes clear that the tree may well fall in a different direction to the desired fall direction (C) or it starts to lean back and traps the saw chain, interrupt the felling cut and insert wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminum to open out the cut and control the lean of the tree until it leans in the required direction.
When the tree starts to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, switch it off , place it on the ground and exit the danger zone via the planned escape route. Watch out for falling branches and take care not to trip.

Removing branches
Here we are talking about removing branches from the felled tree. When removing branches, leave any downward facing branches which are supporting the tree until the trunk of the tree has been cut up. Smaller branches should be re-moved as shown in Fig. 18 (A= cutting direction when removing branches, B= keep away from the ground! Supporting branches should be left until the trunk is cut up) in a single cut from the bottom to the top. Any branches which are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to pre-vent the saw from becoming trapped.

Cutting the tree trunk into lengths
Here we are looking at the process of cutting the felled tree into sections. Make sure you have a sure footing and distribute your body weight even-ly onto both feet. If possible the trunk should be underlaid and supported with branches, beams or wedges. For easy cutting follow the simple ins-tructions below.
If the full length of the tree trunk is evenly supported as shown in Fig. 19 then proceed by cutting from the top down. Take care not to cut into the ground in the process.

If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on one end as shown in Fig. 20, first cut through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the underside (A) in order to prevent it from splintering. Make the second cut from the top (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of  the fi rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from being trapped).

If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on both ends as shown in Fig. 21, fi rst cut through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the top (A) in order to pre- vent it from splintering. Make the second cut from underneath (2/3 of the diameter) to the height of the fi rst cut (B) (this prevents the chainsaw from being trapped).

When working with the saw on a slope, always position yourself at a higher point on the slope above the tree as shown in Fig. 15. In order to re-tain full control at the moment when the cut goes through, reduce pressure towards the end of the cut without releasing your fi rm grip on the hand-les of the chainsaw. Take care to ensure that the chainsaw does not touch the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the chain saw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw. Always switch off the motor of the chainsaw before moving from tree to tree.

Kickback

The term “kickback” describes what happens when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks up-ward and backward. Usually, this is caused by contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped. In the event of kickback, large forces occur sud-denly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The risk of kickback is particularly great when performing cross cuts, angled cuts and longitudinal cuts, as it is not possible to use the claw stop on these cuts. You should therefore avoid these cuts as far as possible and take parti-cular care when they are unavoidable.

The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the cutter rail, as the leverage effect is greatest there (Fig. 22). It is therefore safest to position the saw flat and as close as possible to the claw stop before making the cut (Fig. 23).

Warning!

• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
• Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working order.
• Only work with a saw chain that has been properly sharpened in accordance with the  instructions.
• Never operate the saw above shoulder height.
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the sword.
• Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
• Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a leverage point.

Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which is under tension. Wood which is under tension from which it is released by cutting may in some cases react completely unpredictably and uncont-rollably. In the worst case this could result in extre-mely severe or even fatal injuries (Fig. 24-26). This type of work must only be performed by per-sons who have been specially trained .

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

• Remove the battery each time before cleaning.
• Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids in order to clean it.

Cleaning

• Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
• Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a firm grip.
• Clean the device as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li-quid.
• If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended period of time then you should remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in oil paper.

Maintenance

Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if

• The guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;
• The nose sprocket in the cutter rail is damaged or worn.

Remove the adapter plate (Item 19) from the cutter rail as shown in Fig. 27. Now fi t the adapter plate to the new cutter rail. Proceed as described in the section “Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain”.

Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic chain lubrication system on a regular basis in or-der to guard against overheating and the associated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run.
If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this process then the automatic chain lubrication system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the corresponding instructions in “Troubleshooting”. If the information contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service department or another similarly qualified workshop.

Danger! Do not actually touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm).

Sharpening the saw chain
Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain your-self unless you have the necessary special tools and experience.

   • Damage to the device caused by abuse or incorrect use (for example overloading the device or the use or unapproved tools or accessories), ingress of foreign bodies into the device (such as sand, stones or dust, transport damage), the use of force or damage caused by external forces (for ex-ample by dropping it).
   • Damage to the device or parts of the device caused by normal or natural wear or tear or by normal use of the device.

3. The guarantee is valid for a period of 24 months starting from the purchase date of the device. Gu-arantee claims should be submitted before the end of the guarantee period within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. The original guarantee period remains applicable to the device even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fi tted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or parts fi tted. This also applies if an on-site service is used.

4. To make a claim under the guarantee, please register the defective device at:
   www.Einhell-Service.com. Please keep your bill of purchase or other proof of purchase for the new device. Devices that are returned without proof of purchase or without a rating plate shall not be covered by the guarantee, because appropriate identifi cation will not be possible. If the defect is co-vered by our guarantee, then the item in question will either be repaired immediately and returned to you or we will send you a new replacement.

Of course, we are also happy offer a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered by the scope of this guarantee or for units which are no longer covered. To take advantage of this service, please send the device to our service address.

Also refer to the restrictions of this warranty concerning wear parts, consumables and missing parts as set out in the service information in these operating instructions.
