Operation
Warnings:
• Always follow the safety instructions given at the front of this manual. This
chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It must not be used for cutting
other types of material. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving
or splitting objects.
• Do not attach the chainsaw to a fixed stand.
• Do not attach any devices to the chainsaw other than those specified by
the manufacturer.
Replacing the spark plug
When the chainsaw will not start when everything else has been checked, it is most
likely the spark plug that needs replacing. The spark plug is not covered under warrantly.
To replace the spark plug:
1. Unscrew and remove the filter cover knob (7).
2. Remove the filler cover (8).
3. Pull the spark plug lead off the spark plug end.
4. Loosen (anti-clockwise) the spark plug using
the larger socket side of the double ended
wrench (15) provided.
5. Remove the spark plug and replace with a
new one, as specified on page 2.
6. Secure the spark plug in position by
tightening (clockwise) the spark plug using
the double ended wrench (15) provided.
7. Fix the spark plug lead back to the end of
the spark plug ensuring it clicks into place.
8. Replace the filler cover (8) and secure in
place with the filler cover knob (7).
Helpful hints
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running the
engine at full throttle.
• If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting the
guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so that the
saw chain is freed.
While cutting, always:
• Run the chainsaw motor at full revs. This makes the job safer, as there is less
chance of pull-in or kick-back.
• Position your body to the left of the chainsaw so if it kicks back uncontrollably,
it goes over your right shoulder, never stand in the cutting line of the saw.
• Keep a firm grip with your left hand on the front handle, with your thumb
securely below the handle.
•
The swivel of your wrist in a kick-back situation will activate the chain brake.
• Make sure the chain is tensioned correctly.
