5. Before starting the equipment

Caution! Do not fi t the battery until the equipment
has been fully assembled and all the settings
have been actuated. Always wear protective
gloves when working on the equipment to protect
yourself against injury. Carefully unpack all parts
and check that they are complete (Fig. 1).
5.1 General information on assembly
a) Fig. 2-3: Push the tube (6) onto the handle
housing (18) as far as the mark and screw it
tight with the assembly nut (5).
b) Fig. 4: Hook the carabiner (19) of the shoulder
strap (7) into the strap attachment (20).
c) Fig. 5: The additional handle (8) consists
of the hexagon screw (21) and lock (22). It
is fi tted to the handle attachment (23) as
illustrated. Push the hexagon screw (21) into
the additional handle and screw it tight to the
lock (22).

5.2 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for
use as a pole-operated pruner)
5.2.a Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw
chain
•
Undo the fastening screw (27) of the chain
wheel cover (Fig. 6).
•
Take off the chain wheel cover.
•
Lay the chain as shown in the groove which
runs around the cutter rail (Fig. 7).
•
Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in
the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 8). At
the same time guide the chain around the
sprocket wheel (Fig. 8/ Item 28).
•
Attach the chain wheel cover and fasten it
hand-tight with the fastening screw (Fig. 9/
Item 27).
Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after
you have adjusted the chain tension (see section
5.2.b.).
5.2.b Tensioning the saw chain
Caution! Always remove the battery from the
device before inspection and adjustment. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the
chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the fastening screw (27) of the chain
wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 6).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain
tensioning screw (Fig. 10/Item 28). Turning
the screw clockwise increases the chain
tension, turning it counter-clockwise
decreases the chain tension. The saw chain
is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted approx.
0.08 in. (2 mm) in the middle of the cutter rail
(Fig. 11).
•
Tighten the fastening screw (27) of the chain
wheel cover (Fig. 9).
Important! All the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the cutter rail.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. When the saw chain can be
raised by around 0.08 in. (2 mm) in the middle
of the cutter rail, you know that the chain tension
is ideal. During cutting, the temperature of the
chain rises and its length changes. It is important
therefore to check the chain tension at least every
10 minutes and to adjust it again as required. This
applies in particular to new saw chains. When you
have fi nished working, slacken the chain again as
it will shorten when it cools down. This will help to
prevent damage to the chain.
