IMPORTANT:
Clean the bar with plastic tools. Never use
metal tools.
CHECKING THE CHAIN LUBRICATION
Do not use the chain saw without adequate
lubrication of the chain, this will wear out the
chain quicker.
1. Check the oil level in the tank.
2. Start the chain saw.
3. Run the chain when holding the bar
about 15 cm over a suitable surface for
15 seconds. If the chain lubrication
is working properly there should be
splashing of oil on the surface.
LUBRICATING THE SPROCKET
IMPORTANT:
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
• Switch o the saw, pull out the plug and
wait until all moving parts have
completely stopped before lubricating it.
The bar sprocket should be lubricated at
intervals of 25 working hours, or once a week
during intensive use.
1. Clean the sprocket.
2. Press grease from the nozzle of the
grease gun into the lubrication hole until
it comes out by the edge of the bar. A
grease gun with a slim nozzle simplies
eective lubrication.
3. Pull round the chain by hand. Repeat until
all the sprocket has been lubricated.
FILLING CHAIN OIL
NOTE:
Preferably use biodegradable, vegetable
chain oil to minimise the environmental
impact.
1. Place the chain saw on a stable surface
with the ller cap facing up.
2. Clean the cap are the area around it, if
necessary.
3. Open the ller cap slowly and take it o.
4. Carefully ll with chain oil. Avoid spilling.
5. Check the oil level in the sight glass. The
oil level should be between the MAX and
MIN markings.
6. Tighten the ller cap by hand.
7. Wipe up any spilled oil.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
WARNING!
• A worn or incorrectly led chain can
cause kickback, which can result in fatal
and/or serious personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
• The ling should be done with a special
tool to ensure that the chain has the right
angles and height.
• All the drive links should have the same
height. Dierent heights of the drive links
will cause the chain to run out of balance
and damage it.
• The minimum size of drive links is 4 mm.
Discard the chain if they are less.
The angles of the cutting edges must
be maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes
from inside and out.
• File the chain with a round le. Always le
the cutting edges from inside and out.
Pay attention to the values given in the
diagrams. After ling all the drive links
should have the same width and height.
