OPERATION
Sap from palm trees may corrode metal parts unless proper saw
maintenance is performed. Make sure to clean metal parts from palm
sap immediately after use.
• Remove sprocket guard. Clean wood chips and sawdust from guard and
motor.
• Never use metal tools for cleaning which can scratch the metal paint and
allow corrosion to develop.
• Clean sap accumulation from metal parts with cloth and warm water with
soap.
• Rinse with clean water and dry metal surfaces.
• Apply a light coating of engine or bar and chain oil to metal parts after they
are cleaned.
• Install and properly tension guide bar and chain. Run motor for one minute
alternating motor speed between maximum RPM for 5 seconds and stop
for 5 seconds to coat metal parts with additional protective chain oil.
◆
Keep chain properly tensioned during operation to prevent
the chain from jumping out of the guide bar rail slot and
damaging motor parts.
