Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions. GEB037-1
Chain saw safety warnings:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to chain saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entan-
glement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
3. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Fur-
ther protective equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.
4. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of
a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
5. Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or con-
trol of the chain saw.
6. When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike
the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of con-
trol.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal-
ance.
8. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.

11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
12. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the saw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
- Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.
-Do not overreach and do not cut above shoul-
der height. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
- Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
fied by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Read the instruction manual in order to familiarize
yourself with operation of the chain saw.
2. Before using the chain saw for the first time, arrange
to have instruction in its operation. If this is not pos-
sible, at least practice cutting round timber on a tres-
tle before beginning work.
3. The chain saw must not be used by children or
young persons under 18 years of age. Young per-
sons over 16 years of age may be exempted from
this restriction if they are undergoing training under
the supervision of an expert.
4. Working with the chain saw requires a high level of
concentration. Do not work with the saw if you are
not feeling fit and well. Carry out all work calmly and
carefully.
5. Never work under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
Proper use
1. The chain saw is intended solely for cutting wood.
Do not use it for example to cut plastic or porous
concrete.
2. Only use the chain saw for operations described in
this instruction manual. Do not, for example, use it
to trim hedges or for similar purposes.
3. The chain saw must not be used for forestry work,
i.e. for felling and limbing standing timber. The chain
saw cable does not provide the operator with the
mobility and safety required for such work.
4. The chain saw is not intended for commercial use.
5. Do not overload the chain saw.
Personal protective equipment
1. Clothing must be close-fitting, but must not obstruct
mobility.
2. Wear the following protective clothing during work:
• A tested safety helmet, if a hazard is presented by
falling branches or similar;
• A face mask or goggles;
• Suitable ear protection (ear muffs, custom or moul-
dable ear plugs). Octave band analysis upon
request.
• Firm leather safety gloves;
• Long trousers manufactured from strong fabric;
• Protective dungarees of cut-resistant fabric;
• Safety shoes or boots with non-slip soles, steel
toes, and cut-resistant fabric lining;
• A breathing mask, when carrying out work which
produces dust (e.g. sawing dry wood).
Safe working practices
1. Do not operate the chain saw in the vicinity of flam-
mable dust or gases, as the motor generates sparks
and presents a risk of explosion.
2. Work only on firm ground and with a good footing.
Pay particular attention to obstacles (e.g. the cable)
in the working area. Take particular care where
moisture, ice, snow, freshly cut wood or bark may
make surfaces slippery. Do not stand on ladders or
trees when using the saw.
3. Take particular care when working on sloping
ground; rolling trunks and branches pose a potential
hazard.
4. Clean the area to be cut of foreign objects such as
sand, stones, nails, wire, etc. Foreign objects dam-
age the bar and chain, and can lead to dangerous
kickback.
5. Take particular care when cutting in the vicinity of
wire fences. Do nut cut into the fence, as the saw
may kick back.
6. Do not cut into the ground.
7. Cut pieces of wood singly, not in bunches or stacks.

15
8. Avoid using the saw to cut thin branches and roots,
as these can become entangled in the chain saw.
Loss of balance presents a hazard.
9. Use a secure support (trestle) when cutting sawn
timber.
10. Do not use the chain saw to prise off or brush away
pieces of wood and other objects.
11. Guide the chain saw such that no part of your body
is within the extended path of the saw chain (see fig-
ure).
Kickback
1. Hazardous kickback may arise during work with the
chain saw. Kickback arises when the tip of the bar
(in particular the upper quarter) comes into contact
with wood or another solid object. This causes the
chainsaw to be deflected in the direction of the oper-
ator.
2. In order to avoid kickback, observe the following:
• Never begin the cut with the tip of the bar.
• Never use the tip of the bar for cutting. Take partic-
ular care when resuming cuts which have already
been started.
• Start the cut with the chain running.
• Always sharpen the chain correctly. In particular,
set the depth gauge to the correct height (refer to
“Sharpening the chain” for details).
• Never saw through several branches at a time.
• When limbing, take care to prevent the bar from
coming into contact with other branches.
• When bucking, keep clear of adjacent trunks.
Always observe the bar tip.
• Use a trestle.
Transport and storage
1. Carry the chain saw by the front handle only, with
the bar pointing backwards.
2. Keep the chain saw in a secure, dry and locked
room out of the reach of children. Do not store the
chain saw outdoors.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.

around the sprocket as shown in the figure. (Fig. 5)
While turning the guide bar counterclockwise, install it so
that the end of guide bar contacts the spring. (Fig. 6)
Insert the hook of sprocket cover into the hole in the tool
and then place the sprocket cover on the tool. (Fig. 7)
Turn the knob clockwise to tighten the screw firmly.
(Fig. 8)
Adjusting saw chain tension (Fig. 9 & 10)
Just a slight loosening of the screw allows the saw chain
tension to be adjusted.
After adjusting, retighten the screw firmly.
CAUTION:
• For a while after a new saw chain is installed, it tends to
become loosened. From time to time check the saw
chain tension before use.
• Low tension of saw chain may cause coming out of
place.
• Installing or removing saw chain should be carried out
in a clean place free from sawdust and the like.
OPERATION
Lubrication (Fig. 11)
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation.
Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank through
the oil inspection window.
To refill the tank, remove the cap from the oil tank open-
ing. The oil tank capacity is 80 ml.
After refilling the tank, always screw the provided oil tank
cap on the chain saw.
CAUTION:
• When filling the chain saw with chain oil for the first
time, or refilling the tank after it has been completely
emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge of the filler neck.
The oil delivery may otherwise be impaired.
• As a saw chain oil, use oil exclusively for Dolmar chain
saws or oil available in market.
• Never use oil including dust and particles or volatile oil.
• When pruning trees, use botanical oil. Mineral oilmay
harm trees.
• Never force the chain saw when pruning trees.
• Before cutting out, make sure that the provided oil tank
cap is screwed in place.
Hold the chain saw away from the tree. Start it and wait
until lubrication on saw chain is adequate.
Bring the tip guard/lower guide into contact with the
branch to be cut before switching on. Cutting without-
bringing the tip guard/lower guide into contact with the-
branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting
ininjury to operator.
Saw the wood to be cut by just moving it down.
Pruning trees
CAUTION:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the motor is operating.
• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the
motor is running.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
Bring the tip guard/lower guide into contact with the
branch to be cut before switching on. Cutting without
bringing the tip guard/lower guide into contact with the
branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting in
injury to operator. (Fig. 12 & 13)
When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow under-
cut and then make the finish cut from the top. (Fig. 14)
If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the
branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. If
you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a
shallow undercut, the branch may splinter. (Fig. 15)
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single
stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing
and draw the chain saw back a little; then apply the spike
a little lower and finish the cut by raising the handle.
(Fig. 16)
Carrying tool (Fig. 17)
Always remove the battery cartridge from the tool and
overlap the guide bar with the scabbard before carrying
the tool. Also cover the battery cartridge with the battery
cover.

17
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
• Always wear gloves when performing any inspection or
maintenance.
Sharpening the saw chain
CAUTION:
• Always remove the battery cartridge and wear safety
gloves when performing work on the saw chain.
Sharpen the saw chain when:
• Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is cut;
• The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even
when heavy pressure is applied;
• The cutting edge is obviously damaged;
• The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood. The rea-
son for this behaviour is uneven sharpening of the saw
chain, or damage to one side only. (Fig. 18)
Sharpen the saw chain frequently, but remove only a
little material each time.
Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for
routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been
resharpened several times, have it sharpened in a DOL-
MAR specialist repair shop.
File and file guiding
• Use a special round file (optional accessory) for saw
chains, with a diameter of 4 mm, to sharpen the chain.
Normal round files are not suitable.
• The file should only engage the material on the forward
stroke. Lift the file off the material on the return stroke.
• Sharpen the shortest cutter first. The length of this cut-
ter is then the gauge dimension for all other cutters on
the saw chain.
• Guide the file as shown in the figure. (Fig. 19)
• The file can be guided more easily if a file holder
(accessory) is employed. The file holder has markings
for the correct sharpening angle of 30 ° (align the mark-
ings parallel to the saw chain) and limits the depth of
penetration (to 4/5 of the file diameter).
Guide the file as shown in the figure. (Fig. 20)
• After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional
accessory).
• Remove any projecting material, however small, with a
special flat file (optional accessory).
• Round off the front of the depth gauge again.
• Wash away dust and particles from saw chain after
adjusting the height of depth gauge.
Cleaning guide bar (Fig. 21)
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove,
clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the
chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the saw
chain.
Cleaning the oil filter at the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil filter at
the oil discharge hole during operation.
Small dust or particles built up in the oil filter may impair
the oil discharge flow and cause an insufficient lubrica-
tion on the whole saw chain.
When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of guide
bar, clean the filter as follows.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from the tool.
(Refer to the section titled “Installing or removing saw
chain”.)
Remove the push nut using a slotted bit screwdriver with
a slender shaft or the like. (Fig. 22)
Take the filter out of the chain saw and remove small dust
or particles from it. When the filter is too dirty, replace it
with a new one. (Fig. 23)
Insert the battery cartridge into the tool.
Pull the switch trigger to flow built-up dust or particles off
the oil discharge hole by discharging chain oil. (Fig. 24)
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Insert the cleaned oil filter into the oil discharge hole.
When the filter is too dirty, replace it with a new one.
(Fig. 25)
Insert the push nut with its correct side facing up as
shown in the figure into the oil discharge hole to secure
the filter. When the filter cannot be secured with a disfig-
ured push nut, replace the push nut with a new one.
(Fig. 26)
Reinstall the sprocket cover and saw chain on the tool.
Replacing the sprocket (Fig. 27 & 28)
Before fitting a new saw chain, check the condition of the
sprocket.
CAUTION:
• A worn sprocket will damage a new saw chain. Have
the sprocket replaced in this case. The sprocket need
to be installed so that it always faces as shown in the
figure.
Always fit a new locking ring when replacing the
sprocket.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 29 & 30)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
Storing tool
Clean the tool before storing. Remove any chips and
sawdust from the tool after removing the sprocket cover.
After cleaning the tool, run it under no load to lubricate
the saw chain and guide bar.
Cover the guide bar with the scabbard.
Remove oil from the oil tank to empty it and place the
chain saw with the tank cap facing upward.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Dolmar Authorized Service Centres, always
using Dolmar replacement parts.

pays.
Utilisations
L’outil est conçu pour le tronçonnage du bois d’œuvre et
des rondins.
Consignes de sécurité
Pour votre propre sécurité, reportez-vous aux consignes
de sécurité qui accompagnent l’outil.
Consignes de sécurité pour la tronçonneuse :
NE vous laissez PAS tromper (au fil d’une utilisation
répétée) par un sentiment d’aisance et de familiarité
avec le produit, en négligeant le respect rigoureux
des consignes de sécurité qui accompagnent la tron-
çonneuse. Si vous n’utilisez pas cet outil de façon
sûre et adéquate, vous courez un risque de blessure
grave.
1. Gardez toute partie du corps à l’écart de la
chaîne pendant l’utilisation de la tronçonneuse.
Avant de faire démarrer la tronçonneuse, assu-
rez-vous que la chaîne n’entre en contact avec
rien. Tout moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation
d’une tronçonneuse comporte un risque de contact
entre la chaîne et vos vêtements ou votre corps.
2. Tenez toujours la tronçonneuse fermement avec
la main droite sur la poignée arrière et la main
gauche sur la poignée avant. N’inversez jamais les
mains pour tenir la tronçonneuse car il y a risque de
blessure.
3. Portez des lunettes de sécurité et une protection
d’oreilles. Il est recommandé de porter des dis-
positifs de protection supplémentaires pour la
tête, les mains, les jambes et les pieds. Le port de
vêtements de protection adéquats réduit le risque de
blessure causée par les débris éjectés ou par le
contact avec la chaîne.
4. N’utilisez pas la tronçonneuse en grimpant sur
un arbre. Il y a risque de blessure si la tronçon-
neuse est utilisée sur un arbre.
5. Assurez-vous toujours d’être en bonne position
d’équilibre et d’utiliser la tronçonneuse sur une
surface stable, sûre et plane. Vous risquez de per-
dre l’équilibre ou de perdre la maîtrise de la tronçon-
neuse si vous travaillez sur une surface glissante ou
instable comme une échelle.
6. Lorsque vous coupez une branche tendue, pre-
nez garde au retour de la branche. Lorsque la ten-
sion exercée sur les fibres de la branche tendue est
libérée, elle risque de frapper l’utilisateur et/ou de
provoquer une perte de maîtrise de la tronçonneuse.
7. Faites preuve d’une grande prudence lorsque
vous coupez des broussailles ou des jeunes
arbres. Des fines pièces de bois, en se coinçant
dans la chaîne, peuvent être projetées vers vous ou
exercer une traction vous mettant hors d’équilibre.
8. Pour transporter la tronçonneuse, coupez le
contact, saisissez-la par la poignée avant et gar-
dez-la éloignée du corps. Avant de transporter
ou de ranger la tronçonneuse, installez toujours
le protecteur du guide de chaîne. Une manipula-
tion adéquate de la tronçonneuse réduit le risque de
contact avec la chaîne en mouvement.

9. Suivez les instructions de lubrification, de
réglage de la tension de la chaîne et de change-
ment des accessoires. Une chaîne mal tendue ou
mal lubrifiée peut se casser ou augmenter les ris-
ques de choc en retour.
10. Maintenez les poignées sèches, propres et
exemptes d’huile et de graisse. Les poignées
graisseuses ou huileuses sont glissantes et peuvent
causer une perte de maîtrise.
11. Coupez uniquement dans le bois. N’utilisez pas
la tronçonneuse pour des travaux autres que
ceux pour lesquels elle a été conçue. Par exem-
ple, ne l’utilisez pas pour couper le plastique, les
matériaux de maçonnerie et les matériaux de
construction autres que le bois. L’utilisation de la
tronçonneuse pour effectuer des travaux autres que
ceux pour lesquels elle a été conçue comporte un
risque de danger.
12. Causes de choc en retour et mesures préventi-
ves à prendre :
Il y a risque de choc en retour lorsque le nez ou le
bout du guide de chaîne touche un objet, ou lorsque
le bois se referme et coince la chaîne dans sa ligne
de coupe.
Le contact du bout, dans certains cas, peut entraî-
ner une réaction instantanée en sens inverse, proje-
tant le guide de chaîne vers le haut et vers
l’utilisateur.
Le guide de chaîne risque d’être projeté vers l’utili-
sateur si la chaîne se coince le long de la partie
supérieure du guide de chaîne.
L’une ou l’autre de ces réactions peut entraîner une
perte de maîtrise de la scie et causer une grave
blessure. Ne vous fiez pas uniquement aux disposi-
tifs de sécurité intégrés à la scie. En tant qu’utilisa-
teur de la tronçonneuse, vous devez prendre des
mesures pour écarter les risques d’accident ou de
blessure pendant le travail de coupe.
Le choc en retour est le résultat d’une mauvaise uti-
lisation et/ou de procédures ou conditions inadéqua-
tes de travail. Il peut être évité en prenant les
mesures appropriées, tel qu’indiqué ci-dessous :
- Maintenez une prise ferme, avec les pouces et les
doigts encerclant les poignées de la tronçon-
neuse, tenez la tronçonneuse à deux mains et pla-
cez le corps et les bras dans une position vous
permettant de résister aux chocs en retour. Les
forces de choc en retour peuvent être contrôlées
par l’utilisateur s’il prend les précautions nécessai-
res. Ne lâchez pas la tronçonneuse.
- Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant, et ne cou-
pez pas plus haut qu’à la hauteur des épaules.
Cela aide à éviter le contact involontaire du bout et
permet de mieux maîtriser la tronçonneuse dans
les situations imprévues.
- Utilisez exclusivement les guides et chaînes
spécifié(e)s par le fabricant. Un remplacement
incorrect du guide ou de la chaîne peut causer le
bris de la chaîne et/ou un choc en retour.
-Suivez les instructions du fabricant concer-
nant l’affûtage et l’entretien de la tronçon-
neuse. Le risque de choc en retour augmente si
l’on abaisse la jauge de profondeur.
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ SUPPLÉMENTAIRES
1. Veuillez lire le manuel d’instructions pour vous fami-
liariser avec le fonctionnement de la tronçonneuse.
2. Avant d’utiliser la tronçonneuse pour la première
fois, demandez qu’on vous explique son fonctionne-
ment. Si cela n’est pas possible, entraînez-vous au
moins à couper des rondins sur un chevalet avant de
commencer votre travail.
3. La tronçonneuse ne doit pas être utilisée par les
enfants et les jeunes de moins de 18 ans. Les jeu-
nes de 16 ans et plus peuvent toutefois l’utiliser
dans le cadre d’une formation effectuée sous la
supervision d’un expert.
4. Le travail avec la tronçonneuse exige beaucoup de
concentration. Ne travaillez pas avec la tronçon-
neuse si vous ne vous sentez pas en pleine posses-
sion de vos moyens. Effectuez tout le travail avec
prudence et calme.
5. Ne travaillez jamais alors que vous êtes sous l’effet
de l’alcool, d’une drogue ou d’un médicament.
Utilisation adéquate
1. La tronçonneuse est conçue uniquement pour la
coupe du bois. Ne l’utilisez pas, par exemple, pour
couper du plastique ou du béton poreux.
2. Utilisez la tronçonneuse uniquement pour les opéra-
tions décrites dans ce manuel d’instructions. Ne l’uti-
lisez pas, par exemple, pour couper des haies ou
pour des travaux similaires.
3. La tronçonneuse ne doit pas être utilisée pour des
travaux de foresterie, c’est-à-dire pour l’abattage et
l’émondage. Le câble de la tronçonneuse n’offre pas
à l’utilisateur une mobilité et une sécurité suffisantes
pour ce type de travail.
4. La tronçonneuse n’est pas conçue pour un usage
commercial.
5. Ne soumettez pas la tronçonneuse à une charge de
travail excessive.
