English
If the chain is tensed again when hot, you must check
the chain tension when you have finished work as
when the chain cools down it will tend to tense and if
too tense it could damage the chain.
New chains need some time until the teeth adapt
and this could modify slightly the length of the chain.
This adaptation takes only a couple of minyes when
in use. If you have just changed the chain, remember
to check the tension of the chain after a couple of
minutes using the machine.

until a few moments later.

6.6 OVERLOAD ALERT
protection button.
Possible causes of an overload:
- Chain not sharp enough. Because of this, the end
user has to push too hard for the machine to cut.
- Not enough electric current is reaching the
machine:
1. The electric capacity is not enough for the
machine to work properly.

After start up, accelerate
the chainsaw until the chain
rotates at a medium speed and
verify that the chainsaw has oil
lubrication. To check this, place
the machine as in the figure

the tip of the bar.
This machine has a
security button that will
cut the power supply to
protect against overload.
If this happens disconnect
the unit from the network
and, after 5 minutes,
reconnect it and press the
