4.Use good quality ecological chain oil to ensure long life for the moving parts. Do not use recovered or preused oil containing impurities.
Make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank.
Checking the automatic oil function
Check the automatic operation of the chain lubrication by pointing the tip of the
If the automatic oil function is not working, remove the chain bar and clean out the oil ways of the chainsaw and chain bar. On reassemble if the chainsaw is still not working take it to an autorised service centre.
Avoiding kickback
•Be constantly aware of the position of the upper quadrant of the blade tip. This is the part that triggers a kickback when it hits resistance.
•Never engage the upper quadrant of the guide bar with whatever you are cutting and avoid contact with any hidden branches or obstructions. Ensure there is a clear work area.
•Always clear away brush, vegetation and any obstructing debris before attempting a cut that might trigger a kickback.
•Avoid cuts that will cause the chainsaw to jam in a tree trunk or limb.
Avoid jamming
Always cut into the compression wood first until the cut starts to close. Always make the compression cut beneath if the log or limb is suspended from one end, and on top if it is supported at both ends. Cut from the other side towards the compression cut. Make a habit of using a wedge to prevent the compression cut jamming tight on the chainsaw blade.
Extension cord support
During use of the chainsaw, the extension cord will continually be pulled as you move from one area to another.
A cord retention hook (17) has been provided on the housing of the chainsaw to assist in preventing the electrical connection between the extension cord and chainsaw plug being forced apart.
Note. The support is for the extension cord, and not the cable from the chainsaw.
1.To fit the extension cord to the support, make a tight loop in the extension cord, approximately 300mm from the socket on the extension cord.
2.Fit the loop into the rectangle recess in the back portion of the chainsaw.
3.Push the loop all the way through the housing by approximately 25mm.
4.Push each side of the loop downwards so each side of the loop fits over the cord retention hook.
5.To seat the cable firmly, gently pull one of the two lengths of extension cable on the right hand side of the chainsaw.
6.After, and only after the cable is correctly seated, plug the chainsaw plug into the socket of the extension cable.
