Checking the chain tension
1.
Wear safety gloves.
2.
Switch off the engine.
3.
The chain is correctly tensioned when it
rests against the underside of the bar, but
can still be pull along the bar by hand.
4.
Tension the chain, if necessary.
5.
The chain becomes longer at working
temperature and therefore slacker. The
drive link tabs must not leave the slot in
the bar, otherwise the chain can hop off
the bar.
6.
Tension the chain according to the
instructions.
NOTE:
Always slacken the chain again after finishing
the work. The chain contracts when it cools
and if it is not slackened this can damage the
gearbox and bearings.
Saw chain oil
•
Use environmentally approved saw chain
oil of good quality.
•
The lifespan of the saw chain and bar is
affected by the quality of the saw chain oil.
Only use oil specially intended for
lubricating saw chains. Used oil and engine
oil or equivalent do not provide sufficient
lubrication and can result in material
damage.
Filling with saw chain oil
1.
Carefully clean the area around the filler
cap to avoid impurities getting into the
container.
2.
Place the machine with the filler cap up.
3.
Fill with saw chain oil. A full oil container is
sufficient for about a half tank of fuel.
4.
Screw on the filler cap.
NOTE:
•
If the oil level in the container does not
drop there can be a fault in the lubrication
system. Check the chain lubrication and
clean the oil channels. Contact a service
centre if this does not solve the problem.
•
Check the oil level regularly while
working. Never use the machine without
saw chain oil in the container.
Checking the chain lubrication
•
The chain lubrication produces a small
amount of oil from the chain during use.
•
Always check the chain lubrication and the
oil level in the container before use.
•
Never use the machine without chain
lubrication. If the chain is not lubricated
properly the chain and the chain saw will by
damaged very quickly.
Using the chain saw
•
Wear suitable clothing, shoes and
protective equipment.
•
Carry the machine in the harness.
•
Do not stand under the branch being cut, it
can fall unexpectedly and cause personal
injury. Watch out for falling branches, they
can bounce when they hit the ground.
•
Cut low branches first so that the ones
above can fall freely to the ground.
•
Cut thick branches into several parts.
Working posture
•
Hold the handle with the right hand and
the shaft with the left. The left arm should
be held outstretched at a comfortable
angle.
•
The most comfortable working posture is
obtained with a 60° angle, but a smaller
angle can be used if necessary.
