Before Operation
Chain Oil (Pruner Attachment)
1) Adding oil
1. Remove the oil tank cap and pour the chain oil (SAE
#10W-30) into the oil tank.
2. Once the oil has been poured into the oil tank, tighten the
oil tank cap to securely close the tank.
2) Regulating oil discharging rate
The regulating screw has three positions, Minimum, Interme-
diate and Maximum, only.
The regulating screw is set to Intermediate at the time of ship-
ping. It is recommended that the product be used with this
setting for ordinary use.
• Increase the discharging rate when cutting hard
branches or branches with a lot of resin (pitch), or
when the viscosity of the oil is high during winter.
1. Insert a minus screw driver into the regulating screw at the
bottom of the main unit.
2. When applying pressure with the minus screw driver, turn
the screw to the right (clockwise) to reduce the discharg-
ing rate and to the left (counter-clockwise) to increase the
discharging rate.
3. Turn the engine on and turn the saw chain, with the guide
bar facing the ground or tree. Oil will attach to the ground
or tree, if the oil is discharging.
DANGER
・
Ensure that the guide bar and saw chain are installed
on the pruner before verifying the discharging rate of
the chain oil. The rotator will be exposed and there-
fore dangerous if the guide bar and the saw chain are
not installed on the pruner.
WARNING
・
Using the pruner with a saw chain too loose may re-
sult in the saw chain becoming dislodged and could
cause an accident. Please be sure to check the ten-
sion of the saw chain before starting any work.
CAUTION
・
It may take some time before the oil begins to discharge
once the oil has been added to a new product or when
oil has been added to an empty tank. Do not turn the
pruner on at a high speed in such circumstances.
・
When a new chain is to be used, immerse the chain
in chain oil for some time prior to installing it on the
pruner, or pour the oil directly on to the chain and the
guide bar, after installing it on the pruner. If they are
not properly lubricated with oil the pruner may seize.
