After long period of full-throttle operation

Allow engine to run for a short while at idle speed so that engine heat can be dissipated by flow of cooling air. This protects engine-mounted components (ignition, carburetor) from thermal overload.

After finishing work

:Slacken off the chain if you have retensioned it at operating temperature during cutting work.

The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it could damage the crankshaft and bearings.

Storing your saw for a short period: Wait for engine to cool down. To avoid condensation, fill the fuel tank and keep the machine in a dry place, well away from sources of ignition, until you need it again.

Storing for a long period:

Different quantities of oil are required for different bar lengths, types of wood and cutting techniques.

: Use the adjusting screw (1) (on underside of machine) to vary the oil feed rate as required.

: E = Ematic position, medium oil flow rate - turn adjusting screw to "E" (Ematic position)

: To increase oil feed – turn adjusting screw clockwise.

: To reduce oil feed – turn adjusting screw counter-clockwise.

: When using as Rescue Saw turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as stop. This setting provides maximum oil feed

Your chain must always be wetted with a film of lubricant.

:Turn the bar over –

every time you sharpen the chain and every time you replace the chain – this helps avoid one-sided wear, especially at the nose and underside of the bar.

:Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1), the oilway (2) and the bar groove (3).

:Measure groove depth –

with scale on filing gauge* – in area used most for cutting.
