OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as
illustrated in following figure. When "cutting through", to maintain complete
control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing
your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't let the chain contact the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that maintenance be done at an authorized
repair centre.
WARNING ! Always wear protective gloves during maintenance operations.
Do not carry out maintenance when the engine is running or hot.
WARNING ! Use only original manufacture's replacement parts, accessories
and attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury and poor performance.
1) Ensure that the electric power cord is not damaged.
2) Ensure that the motor and air slots are free and unobstructed.
3) Check that the lubrication system is functioning properly.
4) Clean the chain brake and ensure that it works properly.
5) Turn the bar over every day.
6) Check the bar for wear.
7) Ensure that the oil flow hole is unobstructed.
8) Clean the chain guide on the bar.
9) Check the chain tension, sharpen the blades and check their condition,
remove irregularities.
10) Check the guide bar sprocket conditions.
11) Ensure that the oil reservoir and the oil filter are clean.
12) Clean guide bar before use. Follow instructions for removing and
installing guide bar and saw chain. Remove guide bar and clean groove
of the guide bar with a small screwdriver. Clean oil holes with a wire.
Check the sprocket and the clutch and clean the bar mount area before
installing the bar. Guide bar with sprocket nose should be lubricated
with grease using a lubricating syringe. Invert the symmetrically shaped
guide bar every 8 working hours or each time the chain is removed to
ensure uniform wear. Check the bar rails frequently for wear and
remove burrs and square up the rails using a flat file. Clean the oiler port
on the saw every time the saw chain and guide bar are removed.
13) A damaged drive sprocket will cause premature wear or damage to the
chain saw. Check the sprocket when installing a new chain. When outer
diameter of sprocket is worn 0.020" (0.5 mm) or more, replace it. Always
clean sprocket, clutch and bar mount area before installing guide bar.
