Testing the chain brake

Procedure see chapter 5.3 "Function test of the
chain brake", page 45.
WARNING!
Danger of fatal injury and danger of
extremely severe injury due to a de-
fective chain brake
Extremely serious injury and even fatal
injury of the operator can be caused if
the chain brake does not function, e.g.
due to kickback by the running saw
chain.
■
Check the chain brake each time be-
fore starting work.
■
Do not switch the chain saw on if the
chain brake is defective. in this case,
have the chain saw checked in a
customer service workshop.
6.7 Increase/decrease speed of saw chain
[Eco-Mode/Power-Mode Function] (18)
The Eco Mode/Power Mode function allows you
to increase or decrease the speed of the saw
chain at random. At higher speed (Power Mode),
the operating time of the battery is reduced.
1. Press button (18/1). LED (18/2) lights up
when Power Mode is selected.
2. Press button (18/1) again to deactivate Pow-
er Mode.
If the tool is switched off and then switched on
again, it starts with the previously selected set-
ting.
6.8 Checking the charge status of the
rechargeable battery, "Motion
Detection" (07)
A charge status indicator is located on the top of
the rechargeable battery. This activates automati-
cally for a few seconds if the rechargeable bat-
tery is gently shaken.
1. Shake the rechargeable battery. The LEDs of
the charge status indicator light according to
the charge status of the rechargeable battery.

Charge status displays on the rechargeable
battery
LEDs Displays
■
Red (07/1) Lights: Rechargeable battery
is completely discharged.
■
Flashes repeatedly 1x: Cor-
rectable error, e.g. too high
or low temperature.
■
Flashes repeatedly 2x: Hard-
ware error, e.g. rechargeable
battery is defective.
Green Lights: Rechargeable battery is
(07/2) charged to >0 %.
Green Lights: Rechargeable battery is
(07/3) charged to >25 %.
Green Lights: Rechargeable battery is
(07/4) charged to >50 %.
Green Lights: Rechargeable battery is
(07/5) charged to >75 %.
The green LED for the current charge status
flashes during charging. The green LEDs for the
low charge states light permanently.
Operating time of the rechargeable battery
If the operating time of the rechargeable battery
is reduced in spite of it being fully charged, the
rechargeable battery is at the end of its service
life and must be replaced by a new original re-
chargeable battery.
7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE
