Preparation For Cutting - EGO PSX2500 Manuel De L'opérateur

◾
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when it is not in use. To prevent seepage,
empty the oil tank after each use, and then run the saw for one minute. When
storing the tool for a long period of time, be sure the chain is lightly lubricated –
this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
◾
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult
your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and
disposal options.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE TELESCOPIC POWER POLE" section in the telescopic

PREPARATION FOR CUTTING

(Fig. 4)
Refer to "Important Safety Instructions"
earlier in this manual for appropriate
safety equipment.
◾
Make sure that the chain is properly
mounted and correctly tensioned.
◾
Lift the tip of the guide bar to
check for any sagging in the
chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside
of the guide bar and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without
binding. If the tension requires adjustment, refer to the "REPLACING THE BAR
AND CHAIN"section in the Maintenance section of this manual for adjustment
instructions.
◾
Tighten the cover nut if needed.
◾
Check the oil level and fill the tank as needed. Adjust the oil flow ratio as needed.
◾
Check the sharpness of the saw chain cutting teeth.
◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
◾
Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Hold the unit
firmly with both hands.
◾
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
◾
Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing. Watch out for obstacles
such as tree stumps, roots and ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.
