Bosch Power Tools

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also 
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or 
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working 
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator 
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the 
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.

Assembly

For Your Safety



Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before 
adjusting cleaning or if the cable is cut, damaged or en-
tangled.



Caution! Do not touch the rotating chain.



Do not operate the chain saw near other people, chil-
dren or animals. Do not operate the chain saw after 
drinking alcohol or under the influence of intoxicating 
drugs or medication.

Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no 
earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 
50/60 Hz (for non-EU countries 240 V as applicable). Only 
use approved extension cables. Contact your Bosch Service 
Centre for details.

When operating the chain saw with an extension cable, the 
following conductor cross-sections are required:

– min.  1.5 mm

2

 to a max. cable length of 50 m

– min.  2.5 mm

2

 to a max. cable length of 100 m

Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and con-
nected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply net-
work in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.

When using cable drums, these must be completely unreeled.

Only extension cables of design type H07 RN-F or IEC (60245 
IEC 66) are permitted for use.

If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch 
Service Centre.



WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can be dan-
gerous. Extension cable, plug and socket must be of 
watertight construction and intended for outdoor use.

Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground.

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Re-
sidual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not 
more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use 
it.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Bosch 
Service Centre.

For products 

not sold in GB

:

WARNING:

 For your safety, it is required that the plug at-

tached to the machine is connected with the extension cord. 
The coupling of the extension cord must be protected against 
splash water, be made of rubber or coated with rubber. The 
extension cord must be used with a cable strain relief.

Mounting and Tensioning the Chain Saw



Do not connect the chain saw to mains before it is com-
pletely assembled.



Always wear protective gloves when handling the 
chain.

Chain and Chain Bar Assembly (see figure A)

– Unpack all parts carefully.
– Align the 2 arrows on the chain-tensioning ring 

13

 and the 

cover 

15

(

).

– Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.



Use only chains with a drive link thickness of 1,3 mm.

– Slide the saw chain 

10

 in the slot around the chain bar 

11

. 

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

17

. Take 

care that the chain tensioning catch 

22

 faces outward. The 

saw chain 

10

 is slid on easier when holding the chain bar 

11

 vertical.
