This should be done by using one hand to raise the saw 
chain against the weight of the machine.

– If  the  chain 

9

 is overtensioned, slightly turn the tensioning 

knob

14

 anti-clockwise and re-check chain tension. Re-ad-

just chain tension as described if necessary.

– Handtighten locking knob 

12

 on fastening bolt 

21

.



If too tight then the chain can lose tension during use.



The locking knob must only lightly clamp the chain bar.

Chain and Chain Bar Assembly (see figure B) 
(AKE 30/35/40)

– Unpack all parts carefully.

– Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.

– Slide the saw chain 

9

 in the slot around the chain bar 

10

. 

Ensure the saw chain is in the correct running direction by 
comparing the saw chain with the rotation symbol 

22

.

– Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 

20

 and guide the 

chain bar 

10

, so that the fastening bolt 

21

 and the two 

guide fins 

24

 fit into the keyway of the chain bar 

10

, and 

that the chain tensioning peg 

25

 fits into the respective 

hole of the chain bar 

10

.

If necessary, adjust chain tensioning screw 

27

 to bring ten-

sioning peg 

25

 in alignment with the hole in the chain bar 

10

.

– Check if all parts are seated properly and hold the chain 

bar and the chain in this position.

– Fit  cover  plate 

13

.

– Handtighten locking nut 

26

 on fastening bolt 

21

.

Tensioning the Saw Chain (see figures B and E) 
(AKE 30/35/40)

Always check the chain tension before use, after the first cuts 
and regularly during use approx. every 10 minutes. Upon ini-
tial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.

The chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon sufficient 
lubrication and correct tensioning.

Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause the 
chain to become overtensioned and face too tightly against 
the chain bar when it cools down.

– Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.

– Ensure locking nut 

26

 is hand tight only.

– Check if the chain links are correctly located in the slot 

around the chain bar 

10

 and on the drive sprocket 

20

.

– Turn chain tensioning screw 

27

 clockwise using adjusting 

tool 

18

, until the correct chain tension is reached. The 

screwing action forces the chain bar 

10

 forward via the 

chain tensioning peg 

25

.

– The  saw  chain 

9

 is correctly tensioned when it can be 

raised approx. 5 – 10 mm from the chain bar in the centre. 
This should be done by using one hand to raise the saw 
chain against the weight of the machine.

– If  the  chain 

9

 is overtensioned, slightly turn the tensioning 

screw 

27

 anti-clockwise and re-check chain tension. Re-

adjust chain tension as described if necessary.

– Re-tighten locking nut 

26

 fully with adjustment tool.

Saw-chain Lubrication (see figures A, B and D)

Note: 

The chain saw is not supplied filled with oil. It is essen-

tial to fill with oil before use. Operating the chain saw without 
chain oil or when the oil level is below the minimum mark will 
result in damage to the chain saw.

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrica-
tion. Therefore, the chain is automatically lubricated with 
chain oil during operation via the oil outlet 

23

.

Filling the oil reservoir:
– Set chain saw on any suitable surface with the oil filler cap 

4

 facing upward.

– Clean area around the oil filler cap 

4

 with a cloth and un-

screw the cap.

– Add chain saw oil (preferably biodegradable) until the 

maximum oil level gauge.

– Avoid dirt or debris from entering the oil reservoir. Screw 

on oil filler cap 

4

 again and tighten.

Note: 

Important: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small 

breather channels are provided between the oil filler cap, to 
prevent leakage ensure machine is left in a horizontal position 
(oil filler cap 

4

 uppermost) when not in use.

Note: 

It is important to use only chain saw oil (preferably bio-

degradable) to avoid damage to the chain saw. Never use re-
cycled/ old oil as doing so will invalidate the warranty.

Operation

Initial Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

Hold the chain saw as described in section “Working with the 
Chain Saw”.

To 

start

 the machine, 

first

 push the lock-off button for the 

On/Off switch 

3

 and 

then

 press the On/Off switch 

2

 and keep 

it pressed.

When the machine is running, the lock-off button can be re-
leased again.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

2

.

Note: 

Do not stop chain saw after sawing by actuating the 

front hand guard 

5

 (activating the kickback brake).

Kickback Brake (see figure F)

The 

kickback brake

 is a safety mechanism activated through 

the front hand guard 

5

 when kickback occurs. Chain stops im-

mediately.

The following function check should be carried out at regular 
intervals. Push front hand guard 

5

 forward (position



) and 

start the chain saw. The chain must not start. To deactivate 
the kickback brake, release On/Off switch 

2

 and pull hand 

guard 

5

 backwards (position



).
