OPERATION / SETTINGS
STARTING THE ENGINE
Hold the chain saw with both hands during operation.
● Check level of the fuel tank and the oil tank.
● Make sure the brake lever (6) is in the switched on position (shifted to the front).
● When the engine is cold, pull out the choke cable (2).
● Use the membrane pump (26) or pull the starter line (13) a few times to pump the fuel into the engine.
● Set the ignition switch (14) to switched on position (g. C).
● Place the saw on stable ground.
● While holding the saw pressed against ground, pull the starter line (13). First slowly so to hear the clutch
gears, then pull it strongly (g. D).
● Keep pulling the starter line (13) until the saw starts for a moment and goes out.
● Then press the throttle lever lock (1) and throttle lever (11) slightly to turn o the choke (the choke cable
will retract automatically to switched o position).
● With the choke o, pull the starter line (13) again until the engine starts (you may need to pull a few
times).
● Allow the engine to warm up. If necessary, increase the speed by pushing the throttle lever (11) slightly.
● Move the brake lever (6) to switched o position (shifted to the back).
● Make a cut.
Do not start the engine while holding the saw in hands. During start up the chain saw must rest on
ground and be held rmly. Ensure the chain is free to move without contacting any object. Do not cut
any material with the choke cable pulled out.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
● Release the throttle lever (11) and allow the engine to run idle for a few minutes.
● Set the ignition switch (14) to STOP position.
CHECKING CHAIN LUBRICATION
Check lubrication of the chain and oil level in the tank before starting to work. Switch on the saw and hold
it above ground. If you see enlarging oil marks, the chain lubrication works well (g. E). If there are no oil
marks or they are very small, use oil feed adjustment screw (9) to make appropriate adjustments. In case the
adjustment brings no eects, clean oil outlet, upper hole of chain tension and oilway, or contact service.
Make adjustments when the saw is switched o, observe precaution measures and do not allow
the guide bar to touch ground. Operate the tool safely and maintain at least 20 cm distance from
ground.
Use oil feed adjustment screw (9) to set amount of supplied oil accordingly to respective operating
conditions.
● MIN position – oil ow decreases.
● MAX position – oil ow increases (g. F).
When cutting hard and dry wood and using whole length of the guide bar when making a cut, set the oil
feed adjustment screw (9) to the MAX position.
You can reduce amount of oil supplied by turning oil feed adjustment screw (9) to MIN position, when
cutting soft and damp wood, or when only part of the working length of the guide bar is used.
Depending on ambient temperature and amount of oil supplied, you can operate the chain saw for 15 to
40 minutes per one lling the oil tank (tank capacity is 160 ml).
Oil tank should be almost empty when the fuel tank is emptied. When lling the fuel remember
about lling oil tank as well.
CHAIN LUBRICANTS
Durability of chain and guide bar depends heavily on quality of lubricant. Use only lubricants, which are
designed for chain saws.
