MAINTENANCE
3. If one rail is higher than the other one, it is
n
ecessary to make it even with a flat file and
then smooth them with a file or fine grain
a
brasive paper. (Fig.32)
CHAIN TENSION
C
heck the chain tension frequently and adjust as
often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the
bar, if the chain is pulled down with the fingers at
the centre of the bar the gap between the chain
and the bar should be 2 to 3mm.
NEW CHAINS
A new chain will need to be readjusted after as few
as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break in period,
future adjustments will be required less often.
OIL PASSAGES
Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to
ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain
during operation.
NOTE. The condition of the oil passages can be
e
asily checked. If the passages are clear, the chain
will automatically give off a spray of oil within
s
econds of starting the saw. Your saw is equipped
w
ith an automatic oiler system.

STORAGE
Never put a chain saw into storage for longer than
30 days without carrying out the following steps.
• Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any
pressure in tank.
• Carefully drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the unit
stops to remove fuel from carburettor.
• Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
WARNING. During normal operation the
chain brake, clutch cover, bar and chain
are lubricated with chain oil. After use oil
will drain for many weeks and pool on
the surface underneath the chainsaw.
Place the chainsaw on a protected
surface to contain the draining lubricating
oil when not being used.
RETURNING THE SAW BACK INTO OPERATION
• Remove spark plug.
• Clean the spark plug and check that the
electrode gap is correct.
• Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture.
• Fill the chain oil tank.
