5. Before starting the equipment
Important: Do not start the engine until the saw
is fully assembled.
Important: Wear protective gloves at all times
when handling the chain.
5.1 Fit the chain bar
To ensure that the bar and the chain are supplied
with oil, USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL BAR. The oiling
hole (Fig. 2/Item A) must be kept clear of dirt and any
build-up of residue.
1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled back
into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 3A)
2. Remove the two bar fastening nuts (B). Remove
the cover (Fig. 3B).
3. Using a screwdriver, run the adjustment screw (D)
COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the TANG (E)
(projecting prong) is to the end of its travel toward
the clutch drum and sprocket (Fig. 3B/3C).
4. Fit the open end of the chain bar over the die bar
pins (F) (Fig. 3C/3D).
5.2 To install saw chain
1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (A)
pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 4A).
2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind the
clutch (C). Make sure the links fit between the
sprocket teeth (Fig. 4B).
3. Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and
around the end of the bar (Fig. 4B).
NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower
part of bar. This is normal.
4. Pull the chain bar forward until the chain is closely
seated. Make sure that all the drive links are in the
groove of the bar.
5. Fit the clutch cover and fasten it with 2 screws.
Make sure that the pivot (Fig. 3C/Item E) fits into
the chain bar (Fig. 3D/Item G). The chain must
10
GB
Anleitung_BPC_1235_1_SPK7__ 06.05.13 08:58 Seite 21

not slip off the bar when you do this. Tighten the
two nuts by hand and then follow the instructions
for adjusting the tension in ADJUSTING THE
CHAIN TENSION.
5.3 Saw chain tension adjustment
Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important
and must be checked before starting, as well as
during any cutting operation.
Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the
saw chain will result in improved cutting performance
and prolonged chain life.
Warning: Always wear heavy duty gloves when
handling saw chain or making saw chain adjustments.
1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment
screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain
tension. Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE
will decrease amount of tension on chain. Ensure
the chain fits snugly all the way around the guide
bar (Fig. 5).
2. After making adjustment, and while still holding
nose of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the
bar retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper
tension when it has a snug fit all around and can
be pulled around by gloved hand.
NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it
binds, too much tension has been applied. This
requires minor adjustment as follows:
A. Loosen the bar retaining nut so they are finger
tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar
adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE
slowly. Move chain back and forth on bar.
Continue to adjust until chain rotates freely, but
fits snugly. Increase tension by turning bar
adjustment screw CLOCKWISE.
B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of
bar in the uppermost position and tighten the bar
retaining nut securely.
Caution: A new saw chain stretches, requiring
adjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal with
a new chain, and the interval between future
adjustments will lengthen quickly.
Caution: If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO
TAUT, the drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crank
shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Fig. 6 shows
the correct tension A (when cold) and tension B
(when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.
5.4 Chain break mechanical test
Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake that
reduces possibility of injury due to kickback. The
brake is activated if pressure is applied against brake
lever when, as in the event of kickback, operator’s
hand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated,
chain movement stops abruptly.
Warning: The purpose of the chain brake is to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback;
however, it cannot provide the intended measure of
protection if the saw is operated carelessly. Always
test the chain brake before using your saw and
periodically while on the job.
To test chain brake
1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can
move) when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK
AND LOCKED (Fig. 7A).
2. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is
locked) when the brake lever is pulled forward
and the mechanism (Fig. 7B/Item A) can be
seen. It should not be possible to move the chain
(Fig. 7B).
NOTE: The brake lever should snap into both
positions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever does not
move into either position, do not use your saw. Take it
immediately to a professional Service Center for
repair.
5.5 Fuel and lubrication
Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with 40:1
custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Mixing fuel
Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container.
Shake container to ensure thorough mix.
Warning: Never use straight gasoline in your unit.
This will cause permanent engine damage and void
the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. Never
use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90
days.
Warning: If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, it must
be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines
mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil
product with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If
insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine damage,
it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty for that
occurrence.

Recommended fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with
oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound to
meet clean air standards.Your engine is designed to
operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for
automotive use including oxygenated gasolines. It is
recommended to use unleaded petrol as fuel.
Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you must
also top up the level of chain oil in the chain oil tank. It
is recommended to use standard chain oil.
Engine pre-start checks
Warning: Never start or operate the saw unless
the bar and chain are properly installed.
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture
(Fig. 8).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 8).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C)
before starting unit (Fig. 8).
Once you have filled the chain and oil tank,
tighten the tank cover securely by hand. Do not
use any tools to do so.
6. Operation
Before you use the equipment, check it for damage. If
you discover any damage, do not use it. The
equipment may be started only when the chain brake
is engaged. The chain brake is engaged when the
brake lever is pressed forward and the mechanism

the chain brake and switch the ON/OFF switch to
“Stop (0)”.
6.4 General cutting instructions
IMPORTANT: Felling trees is prohibited without
the necessary training!
Felling
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees
up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut
in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch
cuts determine the direction the tree will fall.
Warning: A retreat path (A) should be planned
and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The
retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the
rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in
Fig. 11.
Warning: If felling a tree on sloping ground, the
chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the
notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the
location of larger branches and natural lean of the
tree to determine the way the tree will fall (Fig. 11).

Gasoline and Oil Mix 40:1 Oil Only
Anleitung_BPC_1235_1_SPK7__ 06.05.13 08:58 Seite 23

Warning: Do not cut down a tree during high or
changing winds or if there is a danger to property.
fieertanwodtuctonoD.lanoisseforpeertatlusnoC
there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the
utility company before making any cuts.
General guidelines for felling trees (Fig. 12)
Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations,
notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).
Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of
the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you
don t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk.
The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a
hinge (F) of sufficient width and strength. The notch
should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for
as long as possible.
Warning: Never walk in front of a tree that has
been notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the other
side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) above
the edge of the notch (C).
Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave
a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is
completely cut through, control over the felling
direction is lost.
Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before
the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This
will prevent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut
if you have misjudged the falling direction. Make sure
no bystanders have entered the range of the falling
tree before you push it over.
Warning: Before making the final cut, always
recheck the area for bystanders, animals or
obstacles.
Felling cut
1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent
binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut. Wedges
also control felling (Fig. 13).
2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than
the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 14).
Warning: As the felling cut gets close to the
hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins
to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain
saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. 11).
Limbing
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the
branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting
limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths
(Fig. 15). Branches under tension should be cut from
.wasniahcehtgnidnibdiovaotpumottobeht
Warning: Never cut tree limbs while standing on
tree trunk.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure
you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log
when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log
should be supported so that the end to be cut off is
not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at
both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a
downward cut halfway through the log and then make
the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching
the bar and chain. Be careful that the chain does not
cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid
dulling of the chain. When bucking on a slope, always
stand on the uphill side.
1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from
top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into
the ground (Fig. 16A).
2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom
(underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid
splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to
meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 16B).
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck
1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second,
underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching
(Fig. 16C).
Note: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to
use a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log
should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or
by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is
securely supported.
Bucking using a sawhorse (Fig. 17)
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct
position for vertical bucking is essential (Fig. 17).
A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the
saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C. Keep weight on both feet.
Caution: When working with the saw, always
make sure that the saw chain and chain bar are
sufficiently lubricated.

7.2.5 Carburetor setting
The carburetor has been set to its perfect adjustment
at the factory. If it requires adjusting, take the saw to
your nearest authorized after-sales service outlet.
7.2.6 Chain bar maintenance
Regular lubrication of the chain bar (guide rail for the
chain and teeth) is essential. The chain bar needs the
maintenance described in the following section in
order for the saw to work at an optimum level of
performance.
Caution: The sprocket tip on your new saw has
been pre-lubricated at the factory. Failure to lubricate
the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below will
result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Tools for lubrication
The Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for
applying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip.The
Lube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is
necessary for the efficient application of grease to the
sprocket tip.
To lubricate sprocket tip
Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after
10 hours of use or once a week, which ever occurs
first. Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tip
before lubrication.
Note: The saw chain does not have to be removed in
order to lubricate the teeth of the chain bar.
Lubrication is possible during work, with the engine
switched off.
Warning: Wear heavy duty work gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
1. Set the On/Off switch to Stop (0)”.
2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.
3. Using the Lube Gun (optional), insert needle nose
into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it
appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig .20).
4. Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication
procedure until the entire sprocket tip has been
greased.
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by
keeping the chain saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the
saw with chain that is TOO TIGHT will contribute to
rapid bar wear.
To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar
maintenance procedures are recommended.
Warning: Always wear protective gloves during
maintenance operations. Do not carry out
maintenance when the engine is hot.
Turning the chain bar
The bar should be reversed every 8 working hours to
ensure uniform wear.
Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean using
the bar groove cleaner supplied optional. (Fig. 21A)
Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, if
necessary, remove the burs and square-up the rails
using the flat file. (Fig. 21B)
Warning: Never fit a new chain to a worn chain
bar.
Oil passages
Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to ensure
proper lubrication of the bar and chain during
operation.
Note: The condition of the oil passages can be easily
checked. If the passages are clear, the chain will
automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of
starting the saw.Your saw is equipped with an
automatic oiler system.
Automatic chain lubrication.
The chain saw is equipped with an automatic oil
lubrication system with a toothed wheel drive. It
automatically supplies the bar and the chain with the
right quantity of oil. The moment the engine is
accelerated, the oil also starts to flow through the bar
plate more quickly as well.
The chain lubrication system has been set to its
perfect adjustment at the factory. If it requires
adjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorized
after-sales service outlet.
A setting screw for adjusting the chain lubrication
(Fig. 26/ Item A) is located on the underside of the
chain saw. Turning the screw counter-clockwise
increases the chain lubrication, turning it clockwise
decreases the chain lubrication.

To check the chain lubrication, hold the chain saw,
with the chain, over a piece of paper and run it at full
speed for a few seconds. You will be able to judge
the set amount of oil from the paper.
7.2.7 Chain maintenance
Chain sharpening
Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure that
cutters are sharpened at the correct angle and depth.
For the inexperienced chain saw user, we
recommend that the saw chain be professionally
sharpened by the nearest professional Service
Center. If you feel comfortable sharpening your own
saw chain, special tools are available from the
professional Service Center.
Chain sharpening (Fig. 22)
Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and a
round file of ø3/16” (4.8mm).
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes
(Fig. 23) observing the values given in Fig. 22.
After sharpening, the cutting links must all have the
same width and length.
Warning: A sharp chain produces well-defined
chips. When your chain starts to produce sawdust, it
is time to sharpen.
After the blades have been sharpened 3-4 times,
check the height of the depth limiter and if necessary
lower it with a flat file and then round off the front
corner (Fig. 24).
Chain tension
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as
often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar,
but loose enough to be pulled around by hand. (see
also point 5.3)
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain and bar will need chain readjustment
after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-
stnemtsujdaerutufneewteblavretniehtdna,doirepni
will begin to lengthen quickly.
Warning: Never have more than 3 links removed
from a loop of chain. This could cause damage to the
sprocket.
Chain lubrication
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is
working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain,
Bar and Sprocket Oil.
Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during
cutting operations is essential to minimize friction with
the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil.
Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease
cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause
rapid dulling of chain, and lead to excessive wear of
bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by
smoke or bar discoloration.
7.3 Storage
Caution: Never put a chain saw into storage for
longer than 30 days without carrying out the following
steps.
Storing a chain saw
Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days requires
storage maintenance. Unless the storage instructions
are followed, fuel remaining in the carburetor will
evaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This could lead
to difficult starting and result in costly repairs.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any
pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops
to remove fuel from carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug (7.2.4).
5. Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the
combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly
several times to coat internal components.
Replace spark plug (Fig. 25).
Note: Store the unit in a dry place and away from
possible sources of ignition such as a furnace, gas
hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
Puttig the saw back into operation
1. Remove spark plug (see also point 7.2.4).
2. Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from
combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap is correct.
4. Prepare unit for operation.
5. Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture. See
Fuel and Lubrication Section.
