B. Instructions for assembly

IMPORTANT ! make sure the chainsaw is not plugged in before performing assembly or maintenance. Assembly of bar and chain.

Remove the bar fastening knob (B1 in the drawing), remove the pinion cover (10).

Install the chain on the bar as shown in the figure B3, making sure the cutting edges are facing in the direction of rotation (clockwise) see drwg. B2. Install the bar in its housing and fasten the chain on the pinion (B4 in the manual) taking care to fit the adjustment tooth in the hole on the par (see illustration B4 in the manual).

(B5) replace and partially tighten the bar fastening knob without tightening it all the way.

B6-B7: adjust the tightener knob and increase the tension so that when the chain is raised only the guide tooth is visible (B6).

Make sure the chain glides smoothly in the bar groove.

Tighten the bar fastener knob all the way (B1-B5). NOTE to tighten the chain, turn clockwise; to loosen it, turn counter-clockwise.

Important: excessive tightening of the chain will shorten its life and that of the bar and motor. B8: make sure the bar groove is free and clean. Check the chain tension frequently during the break-in period.

C. Instructions for use

Fill the tank with high quality chain lubricating oil. Clean the tool to remove any oil that overflows. Do not use solvents or liquid detergent.

Important: check the oil level regularly and top up whenever it falls to less than a quarter. Do not use waste oil or lubricants with characteristics that differ from those indicated in this manual as this could

damage the tool NEVER USE THE CHAINSAW WITHOUT OIL.

Your chainsaw is designed to function only when its two handles are firmly gripped. To start the motor press the trigger (8) and safety button (6) simultaneously.

D. Safety chain brake

Action of the chain brake

Further protection is provided by the safety chain brake, that is operated with the left hand in case of recoil. Contact with the brake lever causes immediate stoppage of the chain.

See illustration D1 showing the high recoil risk zone Chain brake lever system:

I= Machine on O= Machine off

D3 How to reset the chain brake after use: Unplug the chainsaw and if the bar and chain are blocked in the wood, release them before resetting the brake.

To reset the brake pull the lever all the way back keeping the trigger (8) released as shown in Fig. D3 Important! Check the chain tension before starting the chainsaw again

E. Cutting

Crosscutting logs

Fig. E1

Start the motor before the chain touches the log. Hold the spike against the log and rotate the chain slowly around the log.

Fig. E2

To crosscut a log resting on its ends: start cutting from above to about 1/3 of the diameter, finish from below using the top edge of the bar.

This will prevent the bar from being caught in the cut. Caution: do not let the chain touch the ground.

Fig. E3

To crosscut a log on a sawhorse with at least one free end, cut from above.

Fig. E4

FELLING TREES

Important: a great deal of experience is needed to fell a tree – operators lacking experience should not fell trees

Important: we do not advise inexperienced loggers to fell trees when the length of the bar is less than the diameter of the tree

FELLING

Trees are felled with 3 cuts, first to direct the fall, by cutting a notch consisting of a downward diagonal cut, made first, followed by an upward diagonal cut that should end exactly where the first cut ends (see illustration alongside). The depth of the notch should be equal to about 1/4 of the diameter of the
