Pruning
Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch from a standing tree.
Warning! Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder.
Do not overreach. Do not saw above shoulder height.
Always use both hands to hold the saw. First cut up
from the bottom and finish down from the top.
Note: Before cleaning your chainsaw or carrying out any maintenance procedure,
make sure that the engine is off and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Maintenance to be preformed after each use
1. Loosen the filter cover knob (7) and remove
the filter cover (8).
2. Remove the air filter (as shown to the right).
3. Split the air filter into its two halves and clean
the mesh. Dry particles can be removed by
tapping on a hard surface. More stubborn dirt
may require washing out the filter with petrol
or using an air compressor.
4. Re-assemble the two halves and replace the airfilter,
filter cover (8) and filler cover knob (7).
5. Take off the guide bar (14) and maintain it as follows,
remove any saw dust from the groove in the guide bar (14).
6. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease
the nose sprocket at the tip of the guide bar (14).
7. Check for fuel and oil leakage and loose fastenings,
especially those securing the handles and the
guide bar (14).
8. Clean any dust away from the cooling vents as
clogged vents can cause overheating.
