Saw head angle adjustment
Caution! Adjustment to be performed with the
appliance being switched off only!
The saw head can be locked in 3 various cutting angles, which
enables individual working.
Press the locking screw (pic. 2/5) and put the saw head to the
required working position. Fixate the saw head in the required
position using the locking screw (pic. 2/5).
Safety instructions for the operator
Do not use the appliance before reading carefully the
Operating Instructions.
Follow all safety instructions included in the Operating
Instructions.
Behave responsibly to other persons.
Walk, do not run when working.
Use the right working clothes at all times.
Operation
1.
Connect the saw with the extension cable. Plug the
extension cable.
2.
Use both hands to hold the saw. When operating
the chain saw (pic. 10), use only the specified points of
gripping. Hold the saw properly. Thumbs and fingers
must embrace the chain saw handle and pole.
3.
Make sure your legs are positioned properly. Distribute
your weight evenly to both legs.
4.
To start the appliance, press the stop first and then
On/Off. By this, the chain saw will be started. The chain
saw gets switched off by releasing On/Off. Make sure
the saw runs at full speed before performing first cut.
CAUTION: To support the saw, use the stop surface
on the cutting head at all times!
After starting the cut, guide the rotating chain to the wood.
Keep the chain saw firmly in hands to prevent any rejection or
slip (lateral movement) of the saw.
5.
Guide the chain saw with slight pressure. Do not
overload the chain saw. Otherwise, the engine may get
overloaded and burn down. The saw works better and
safer at the specified speed.
6.
Move away from the cut with the chain saw when still
running at full speed. Switch the chain saw off by
pressing the starter. The chain saw must be stopped to
the full extent before being put away.
CAUTION:
Prevent any backlash. A backlash may cause serious
injuries.
Do not use the chain saw when standing on a ladder or
any other unstable equipment and when in an unstable
position.
Contact a professional to help you if circumstances
require use of bigger appliances.
Chain tension calibration
CAUTION: Make always sure the chain is tightened
properly. A loose chain increases the risk of backlash. A
loose chain could get out of the guide. It could injure the
operator and damage the chain. A loose chain causes
quick wear of the chain, chain bar and chain wheel.

Chain loosening
1.
Before calibrating the chain, make sure the
chain bar nut (pic. 3/1) is only tightened
by hand.
2.
Turn the clamping screw clockwise so that
the chain gets tightened. (pic. 4/A)
Notice: The chain is tightened properly when
fitted in a way it cannot get out of the guide when the
appliance is being operated. The chain must move
freely. If the chain is not moving freely,
release it by turning the clamping screw
counter-clockwise.
3.
After the chain is tightened properly, tighten the chain bar
nut (pic. 3/1), if not tightened - the chain bar is moving
and the chain tension is getting released. This increases
the risk of backlash and can even cause damage to the
saw. Notice: The new chain gets expanded. Check the
new chain after first minutes of operation. Let the chain
cool down and then recalibrate the chain tension.
Chain lubrication with oil
Check the oil level after each use of the saw. Make sure there
is always sufficient amount of oil in the storing reservoir.
Servicing and treatment
CAUTION: Follow the chain saw servicing
instructions. Servicing works specified in the instructions
must be performed by an authorised service centre.
CAUTION: Unplug the chain saw before any
servicing. Electric shock or contact with the rotating chain
could cause serious injuries. The cutting edges are sharp.
Wear protective gloves when handling the chain.
Saw body cleaning
Keep the saw body clean. Use a soft cloth soaked in fine soap
water. Use the soft cloth to wipe the saw body. Do not plunge
the saw to liquids. Do not use cleaners containing ammonia,
chlorine or emery. Do not use clearing baths containing
chlorine, carbon tetrachloride or petrol.
Oil tank filling
Remove the oil tank cover (pic. 2/1).
Add biodegradable oil for chains to the oil tank (pic. 2/2).
Refit the oil tank cover (pic. 2/1). Tighten the oil tank
cover (pic. 2/1). This will prevent oil from leaking from the
tank.
Wipe any excess oil. Drain the oil tank (pic. (2/2) after
each use to prevent it from overflowing.
Chain bar treatment
Uneven wear is the cause of the most frequent problems with
the chain bar. An unauthorised treatment of cutting elements of
the chain and improper depth limiter grinding may amplify that.
If this is the case, replace the chain bar. Check the chain bar
before saw sharpening. A worn-out or damaged chain bar is
not safe and damages the chain, which is why it must not be
used!
Regular chain bar servicing
1.
Remove the chain bar off the chain saw.
2.
From time to time, remove the wood flour from the chain
bar notch. In doing so, use the glazing or wire knife.
3.
Oil grooves to be cleaned after the day when used.
4.
Remove any inequality on sides of the chain bar. Use a
blunt file for flat filing of edges.
5.
Do not fit the chain bar if bent or cracked or if the inner
rail notch is significantly worn-out.
Do not use clearing baths containing chlorine, carbon
tetrachloride or petrol. The chain bar that is to be replaced
can be received as a spare part.
Saw chain sharpening
The chain must always be sharp!
Cutting is then faster and safer. A blunt chain causes useless
wear of the chain wheel, chain bar, chain and the engine. The
chain is blunt if it needs to be pressed to the wood and the
cutting results in wood flour and some bigger fractions.
