4 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Intended use Power chain saws This power chain saw may be used only for sawing wood out of doors. It is intended for the followung uses depending on its class: - Professional and mid-class: Use on small, medium and large trees: felling, limb removal, cutting to length, thinning. - Hobbyklasse: Occasional use on [...]

5 6 5 7 9 8 Fuels / Refuelling - Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. - Do not smoke or work near open Þ res (5). - Let the engine cool down before refuelling. - Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear protective gloves when refuelling. Frequently[...]

6 Kickback - When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur . - Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10). - This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control. Risk of injury! In order to prevent kickback, follow these [...]

7 - Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). - When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped. For this reason use the lower edge of the bar whenever possible. The chain saw will then be pushed away from y[...]

8 SERVICE T ransport and storage - When changing your location during work switch off the chain saw and actuate the chain brake in order to prevent an inadvert- ent start of the chain. - Never carry or transport the chain saw with the chain running. - When transporting the chain saw over long distances the guide bar protection cover (delivered with[...]

10 5 7 6 4 5 1 2 3 Lift the chain ( 6 ) over the sprocket ( 5 ). Using your right hand, guide the chain into the top guide groove on the guide bar ( 7 ). CAUTION: Note that the cutting edges along the top of the chain must point in the direction of the arrow! Position the guide bar ( 4 ) and push against the sprocket ( 5 ) as shown by the arrow . M[...]

11 2 13 3 11 12 6 8 9 10 Guide the chain over the chain catch ( 9 ). Pull the guide bar as shown by the arrow to take the slack out of the chain, so that it comes up to the bottom edge of the guide bar ( 10 ). Pull the chain ( 6 ) around the sprocket nose ( 8 ) of the guide bar in the direction of the arrow . G H Tightening the saw chain Slightly l[...]

12 ST OP 2 13 1 2 1 Checking the chain tension The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar and can still be easily turned by hand. While doing so the chain brake must be released. Check the chain tension frequently - new chains tend to get longer during use! When checking the chain tension the eng[...]

13 Chain oil Use an oil with adhesive additive for lubricating the chain and guide bar . The adhesive additive prevents the oil from being ß ung off the chain too quickly . We recommend the use of chain oil which is bio-degradable in order to protect the environment. The use of bio-degradable oil may even be required by local regulations. The chai[...]

14 Refuelling FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! Be careful and cautious when handling fuels. The engine must be switched off! Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank. Unscrew the cap and Þ ll the tank with fuel (fuel/oil mixture) or chain oil as the case may be. Fill up to the bottom edge of t[...]

15 1 2 3 Checking the chain lubrication Never work with the chain saw withoute suf Þ cient chain lubri - ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feed. Check the oil feed rate as described below: Start the chain saw (see „Starting the engine?[...]

16 Starting the engine Start the chain saw only after having assembled it com- pletely and inspected. Move at least 3m away from the place where you fuelled the saw . Make sure you have a good footing, and place the saw on the ground in such a way that the chain is not touching anything. Engage the chain brake (lock). Hold the tubular handle tightl[...]

17 D Adjusting the carburetor CAUTION: Carburetor adjustment may only be done by a specialist DOLMAR service centre! Only adjusting screw (S) can be manipulated by the user . If the saw chain moves in idle (i.e. without the throttle being pressed) , it is imperative to correct the idle speed! Do not adjust the idle speed until after complete assemb[...]

18 E Working in winter In order to prevent carburetor icing in conditions of low tempe- rature combined with high humidity , and below + 5°C in order to get up to operating temperature faster , heated air can be taken from the cylinder . Remove the Þ lter hood (see „Cleaning air Þ lter“) Remove the insert ( 10 ) and insert it as shown in pos[...]

19 The sharpening angle of 25° must be identical for all cutters! Different angles result in a roughly , irregularly running chain, increase wear and tear and cause chain beakage. The front rake 60° of the cutter results from the cut depth of the round Þ le. If the proper Þ le is used in the right manner, the correct front rake will be obtained[...]

20 1 2 Files and how to work with them Sharpen using a special Þ le holder with a saw chain round Þ le. Normal round Þ les are not appropriate for this work. See „Accessories“ for the order number . File the Þ rst cutter half with a 5.5 mm dia. round saw-chain Þ le, then switch to a 4.8 mm dia. Þ le. The Þ le should cut only when pushed [...]

21 8 10 11 7 5 4 5 1 6 7 2 3 Cleaning the brake band and sprocket interior CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see „Replacing the spark plug“) . Always wear protective gloves! CAUTION: Start the chain saw only after having assembled it completely and in[...]

22 12 16 15 13 17 Replacing the saw chain CAUTION: Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw (see the Extract from the spare-parts list) ! Check the sprocket before mounting a new chain. Worn out sprockets ( 12 ) may damage the new chain and must therefore be replaced. Remove the sprocket guard ( 1 ) (See „PUTTING INTO OPE- RA TION“ [...]

23 3 5 4 CAUTION: T o prevent eye injury , always wear eye protection when cleaning the Þ lter with compressed air! Do not use fuel to clean the air Þ lter . Unhook the Þ lter hood clips ( 1 ) with the combination tool and remove the Þ lter hood ( 2 ). Pull out the choke ( 3 ) to prevent dirt particles from getting into the carburetor . Unhook [...]

24 10 Replacing the spark plug CAUTION: Do not touch the spark plug or plug cap if the engine is running (high voltage). Switch off the engine before starting any maintenance work. A hot engine can cause burns. W ear protective gloves! The spark plug must be replaced in case of damage to the insulator , electrode erosion (burn) or if the electrodes[...]

25 11 Replacing the starter cable / Replacing the return spring Unscrew three screws ( 1 ). Remove fan housing ( 2 ). NOTE: The screws ( 1 ) are secured against falling out of the housing. CAREFUL! Injury hazard! Do not unscrew screw (5) if the return spring is under tension. If the starter cable is to be replaced although it is not broken, it will[...]

26 13 15 16 14 Cleaning the cylinder area Remove the Þ lter hood and air Þ lter . Remove the spark plug cap and unscrew the spark plug. Press in the starting valve and activate the chain brake. Push the cable cutout and ignition cable out sideways. Unscrew the two rearmost screws on the cover . Unscrew the screws on the handguard pivot and remove[...]
