GB-3
Starting up
1. Filling the oil tank (Fig. 1)
The chain saw must never be operated without sufficient
oil on the chain as this could cause damage to the chain,
blade or motor. No claims for guarantee can be accepted
if damage occurs when the device is being operated
without chain oil.
Please use only biologically-based chainsaw oil, i.e.
oil which is 100% biologically decompos-able.
Biological chainsaw oil should be available every-where
at your local specialist dealer.
Do not use old oil. This will damage the chainsaw and will
also lead to loss of the guarantee.
• Before filling the oil tank, pull out the mains plug
• Open the twist cap and place safely aside so that the
sealing ring in the tank cap does not get lost.
• Fill approx. 200 ml oil into the tank using a funnel and
screw on the tank cap tightly once more.
• The oil level can be seen in the inspection window (Fig.
2). If you plan not to use the machine for a longer
period, you should remo ve the chain oil from the oil tank.
• The oil tank should also be emptied before the chainsaw
is transported or dispatched.
• Check correct functioning of the chainsaw before
commencing work. Switch on the saw with cutting
fittings assembled and hold over a bright
background at a safe distance (Be careful not to
come in contact with the ground !). An track of oil will
show you that the chain is sufficiently lubricated.
• After use, lay the chainsaw horizontally on some absor-
bing surface. The oil spread on the blade, chain and drive
may lead to some further dripping of oil.
2. Assembling the blade and chain (Fig. 3)
CAUTION ! Risk of injury ! Always use safety gloves
when assembling the chain !
For assembling the bar and chain with this chain
saw no tools are required !
• Put the chain saw on a stable rest.
• Loosen the T-screw 7 turning it clockwise.
• Remove the gear cover 8.
• Put the chain on the bar considering the running
direction of the chain. The cutting teeth on the
upper side of the bar must point in forward
direction (see Fig. 4).
• Put the free end of the chain over the chain driving
wheel (B).
• Place the bar such that the long hole in the bar is
placed exactly on the guiding element in the bar seat.
• Take care that the chain tensioning bolt (A) is seated
exactly in the small opening in the bar (Fig. 3). It must
be visible through the opening. If necessary, adjust
the knurling wheel of the chain tensioning device (16)
in both directions until the chain tensioning bolt is
seated in the opening in the bar.
• Check whether all chain links are seated exactly in
the bar’s groove and the chain is lead around the
chain driving wheel correctly.
• Put the gear cover 8 back on and push it in place.
• Moderately tighten the T-screw 7 by turning it clockwise.
• Tension the chain. To do so turn the knurling wheel
upwards (+ direction of arrow). The chain should be
tensioned such that it can be lifted by about 3mm in
the middle of the bar (Fig. 4). To decrease the chain
tension turn the knurling wheel downwards (- direction
of arrow).
• Finally, tighten the T-screw 7 well by hand.
The tension in the chain has a major effect on the service
life of the cutting fittings, and must therefore be checked
regularly. When the chain warms up to operating tem-
perature it will expand and must be retightened. A new
saw chain will have to be tightened more frequently until
it has reached its full length.
CAUTION: During the running-in period, the
chain must be more frequently tightened. The
chain must be immediately retightened if it
shakes or leaves the grove !
To tension the chain slightly loosen the T-screw 7. Then
turn the knurling wheel upwards (+ direction of arrow).
Tension the chain such that it can be lifted by about
3mm in the middle of the bar, as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Connecting the chainsaw (Fig. 5)
We recommend to operate the chain saw in connec-
tion with a residual current operated device with a
maximum breaking current of 30mA.
This device is designed to be operated on a mains supply
with a system impedance Z max at the point of connec-
tion (house service connection) of max. 0.4 Ohm. The
user must ensure that the device is only operated on an
electricity supply system meeting these requirements.
If required, system impedance data may be obtained
from the local public utility.
Use only extension cords that are approved for
outdoor use and are not lighter than rubber-
sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F according to DIN/
VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 sq. mm. They
cords must be splash-proof. If the connection cable
of this device should be damaged it must be
replaced by a workshop named by the manufacturer
only as this work requires the use of special tools.
Mobile devices for outdoor use should be con-
nected over a residual current operated device.
This chainsaw is fitted with a strain-relief device to provide
extra safety for the connection. First connect the device
plug with the connection line. Then form the connection line
into a tight loop and push this through the safety web on the
lower side of the machine. Hang the loop into the hook as
shown in Fig. 6. The plug connection is now secure against
automatic release.
4. Switching on (Fig. 2)
• Press with your thumbs the stopping button 15 on the left
side of the rear handle and then the operating switch 9.
• The stopping button 15 is used for unlocking the switch-
on mechanism and does not need to be pressed again
after the device is switched on.
• To switch off the device, release switch 9.
Caution: The chainsaw will run immediately at
full speed and will continue running for a certain
period after it is switched off. You must wait until
the chain has come to a full stop before putting
chainsaw down.

GB-4
Safety devices on your chain brake
1. Chain brake (Fig. 6)
This chain saw is equipped with a mechanical brake for
the chain. In the case of uncontrolled movements, when
the tip of the sax blade gets in contact with wood or a
solid object, the drive of the chain is immediately
stopped by activation of the hand guard 4, the motor will
not be stopped. This brake function is initiated by the
back of your hand on the front handle 2 pushing the hand
guard. The proper function of the saw chain brake shall be
checked before each use of the saw.
CAUTION: No buttons should be pressed when
the chain brake is released (hand protection
pulled back in the direction of the handle and
locked).
Always ensure before starting the chainsaw that the
hand protection 4 is locked in the operating po-
sition. To do this, pull back the hand protection in
the direction of the handle.
2. Rundown brake
In accordance with the latest regulations, this chain saw
is equipped with a mechanical rundown brake. This brake
is connected to the chain brake and stops the running
chain after the chain saw has been switched off.
It is activated by releasing the ON/OFF switch. The rundown
brake avoids injuries through the coasting of the chain.
3. Safety starting lock
The starting delay that is effective for about 3 sec. after each
switch-off of the chain saw provides for additional safety.
Thus, for your own safety, there is a delay of 3 seconds
before the device can be switched on again after each
time it is switched off.
Only after this phase, the saw may be operated again by
pushing the locking button 15 and subsequently activating
the operating switch 9, as described in the section ‘Switch-
ing on’.
4. Chain catch bolt (Fig. 7)
This chainsaw is fitted with a chain catch bolt (17). If the
chain breaks when the saw is in operation, the chain bolt
will catch the loose chain end and thus prevent injury to
the operator's hand.
Instructions on working properly with the
chain saw (Fig. 8+9)
Removing branches (Fig. 8)
• Ensure that you are standing firmly.
• Cut a deep notch from below into the branch about 15
cm from the trunk.
• Now cut the branch from above about 5 cm further out-
wards from the lower notch until the branch drops off.
• In order to remove the rest, cut from below about 1/3
into the remaining branch close to the trunk.
• Cut into the branch from above until the branch has
been removed completely.
• Do not remove free-hanging branches from below.
Felling a tree (Fig. 9)
• Ensure that no one is within the felling area, minimum
distance: 2 tree lengths.
• Ensure that no one can be hit by falling branches or the
tree to be felled.
• Ensure that you have a possible escape route.
• Ensure that you are standing firmly.
• Keep the working area free of objects.
• Always stand at the side of the tree during felling.
• First determine in which direction the tree is to be
felled. The felling notch is cut on this side of the trunk.
• First cut 1/3 of the trunk diameter horizontally into the
tree at the intended felling notch.
• Now cut the second part of the felling notch from
above at an angle of 45° to the first cut.
• Now make the felling cut exactly opposite to the felling
notch. The felling cut must run horizontal and a bit
higher than the felling notch.
• Do not cut completely through the tree. Leave about 1/
10 of the trunk diameter.
• Put wedges into the felling cut to bring the tree to fall.
Cutting a felling tree
• First support the trunk so that the section to be cut off
always hangs freely and does not lie on anything so
that the bar cannot jam.
• If the chain saw does become jammed, switch it off
immediately and withdraw the plug. Use the wedges to
free the bar.
• Avoid letting the saw chain coming into contact with the earth.
General instructions on working with a chainsaw
• Ensure that children and other spectators keep a safe
distance from the working area.
• Apply little pressure to the machine when sawing wood.
If the chain is keen, it will cut almost by itself through
the wood.
• If possible, always work with the chainsaw running at
high speed.
• Never try to continue sawing with a blunt chain. That
causes the motor to overheat and the loss of your right
to claim under guarantee. Always have a replacement
chain at hand.
• Allow the motor to cool off and make working breaks.
• After use always place the chain saw horizontally to
avoid oil dripping from the oil reservoir.
• Always use the chain cover when transporting the chain saw.
Maintenance and Servicing
Always withdraw the plug when carrying out maintenance
and servicing.
• Always remove wood shavings and oil from your chain saw
after use. Ensure in particular that the motor ventilation slits
for cooling the motor in the housing of the chain saw is free
(danger of overheating).
• If the saw chain is particularly dirty, e.g. in case of gumming
with resin, remove the chain and clean it. Place the chain for
a few hours in a vessel containing IKRA chainsaw cleaner.
There-after clean the chain with clear water. If the chain is not
used again immediately, it must be treated with IKRA-service
spray or a customary anti-corrosion-spray.
• Only in case of use of biological oil: As some biological
oils may tend to incrustation after a time, the oiling
system should be rinsed thoroughly before storing the
chain saw for a longer period. Therefore, please fillhalf
of the oil reservoir (about 50 ml) with IKRA chainsaw

GB-5
cleaner and close it as usually. Then switch on the
chainsaw - without bar and chain being mounted - and
keep it running until the total rinsing liquid has
evapurated through the oil opening of the chain saw.
Before using the chain saw again, it is absolutely
necessary to refill the oil reservoir.
• Do not store the saw outdoors or in damp and moist
areas.
• Check all the chain saw parts, in particular the chain,
bar and sprocket, of wear after every use.
• Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain is
too loose, it may come off during use and lead to
injuries. The chain must be replaced immediately if it is
damaged. The cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm
long.
• Check the motor housing and power cable after every
use for damage. If there is any sign of damage, have
the chain saw checked by a specialised workshop or
the works after-sales service.
• Check the oil level and lubrication of your chain saw
after every use. Insufficient lubrication leads to
damage to the chain, bar and motor.
• Check how keen the chain is every time before you
use the chain saw. A blunt chain will cause overheating
of the motor.
• Sharpening a saw chain requires experience and
specialised knowledge. We therefore recommend to
have sharpening carried out by a specialised workshop.
In the case of technical problems
•The machine does not start up: Check whether the
current socket is live. Check whether the power cable
is undamaged. If neither case applies, take the chain
saw to a specialised workshop or the works after-sales
service.
•Chain does not run: Check position of handguard
(see ill. 7). Chain only runs if handguard brake is re-
leased.
•Sparks fly at the motor: Motor or carbon brushes
damaged. Take the chain saw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
•Oil does not flow: Check the oil level. Clean the oil
flow openings in the bar (see also the corresponding
hints of “Maintenance and servicing). If this is not
successful, take the chain saw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
Attention: Any maintenance or repair work going
beyond that described in these Operating In-
structions may only be carried out by autho-
rised persons or the works after-sales service.
Attention: If the power supply lead of this device
shows any defects, the lead must be replaced by
an authorized repair shop only or through the
manufacturer’s own service personnel, as this
work requires special tools.
Repair Service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried
out by specialist electrical personnnel.
