English
When you sharpen the teeth, make sure you are
wearing heavy duty gloves. Make sure the tool chain is
safely attached.
Make sure the engine is stopped.
Use a special rounded chainsaw file of the correct size
for the chain.
Place the file on the cutting tooth between the cutting
edge (A) and the depth gauge (B); and apply light
pressure forwards keeping an angle of 30º filing the
cutting edge of the tooth.
First file the teeth on one side, always using outward
movements and maintaining the 30º angle, and then
file teeth on the other side.
Check the height of the safety gauge (C), which should
be around 0.6 mm. If the height of "C" is too low, it
will mean the chain will not cut well and if it is too
high, it will mean the chain will "bite" the wood too
much, causing the engine to overwork.
Check the length of the cutting teeth. All the teeth
must be of the same length. If necessary, file the long
teeth until they are all of the same length.
8.2. OTHERS
Carry out periodical inspections with the aim of
ensuring a safe and efficient performance from the
tool. For a complete inspection of the tool, please
contact your distributor.
Keep the machine clean, especially the areas near the
gas tank and air filter.
Before adjusting or repairing the machine, make sure
the engine is stopped and the cover of the spark plug
has been removed.
Use the appropriate parts in order to obtain a safe and
adequate performance from the product. These parts
can be obtained from your distributor.
The use of other accessories could can cause
potential risks, injuries to the operator or damage to
the machine.
8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The obstruction of the air filter will cause the
performance of the engine to decrease. If necessary,
inspect and clean this element. If any damage or
alteration is observed, replace it with a new one.
The dust on the surface of the filter can be removed
by hitting a corner of the filter against a hard surface.
To clean the dirt inside, separate both parts of the
filter by using a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing,
