- Turn the knob (A, Fig.5) anti-clockwise and
remove the guard (B).
- Ensure chain tensioner disk (C) on bar (E) is
set to the correct position; turn it anti-
clockwise if necessary (Fig.6).
- Fit the chain (D, Fig.7) with the cutting edges
facing the direction of run and insert it into
the channel on the bar.
- To assemble the bar (E, Fig.8) and chain (D),
align them with sprocket (F) and stud (G).
Wrap the chain around the sprocket and
then fit the bar over the stud. Turn disk (C)
clockwise to pre-tension the chain.
- Refit the guard (B, Fig.10) inserting the guide
(L, Fig.9) into its location and lightly
tightening the knob (A, Fig.10). Do not
tighten the knob fully; first, you must tension
the chain. While tightening the knob rotate
ring (H) back and forth to cause it to engage
correctly with disk (C) on the bar.
NOTE: chain (D) is not yet tensioned.
Chain tensioning
Always check the chain tension before using
the chainsaw and after making the first few
cuts. Regularly check the chain tension when
using the tool. After starting to use the tool,
new chains may stretch considerably; this is to
be considered normal during the running-in
period.
WARNING - Always maintain the correct
chain tension. An excessively slack chain
increases the risk of kickback and the chain may
ride out of the bar channel; these events can
cause injury the operator and damage to the
chain. An excessively slack chain will result in
rapid wear of chain, bar and sprocket. On the
contrary, an over tensioned chain will tend to
overload the motor with resulting damage. A
correctly tensioned chain provides the best
cutting characteristics, optimal safety, and
long working life of the chain. The working
life of the chain depends on correct tensioning
and correct lubrication.
- Turn the ring (H, Fig.10) until chain (D) nearly
touches the lower edge of bar (E).
- Check chain tension by lifting it with your
hand (Fig.11). Chain tension is correct when
it can be lifted approximately 2-4 mm clear
of the guide bar. The chain must be adjusted
so that can be moved freely by hand.
WARNING - Check that the battery is
NOT fitted in the electic chain saw.
- Fully tighten the chain guard fixing knob
(A, Fig.12) while keeping the tip of the bar
raised.
5. STARTING
OIL FILLING AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The saw chain is automatically lubricated
during use by a pump which normally requires
no maintenance. The oil flow is pre-regulated
by the manufacturer to ensure a sufficient oil
delivery even under heavy working conditions.
During cutting of thin timber a possible oil
dripping is normal.
- Always wipe off around the filler hole before
unscrewing the cap (A, Fig. 13) so that no dirt
enters the oil reservoir.
- During work watch the oil level (B).
- Add oil whenever the oil level in the reservoir
drops to the notch of the minimum.
- After the filling, operate the motor 2 or 3
times to restore correct oil delivery.
- In case of faults do not try to repair the
m a c h i n e yo u r s e l f, b u t a p p l y to yo u r
authorized dealer.
Correct chain lubrication during the cutting
phase reduces wear to a minimum between the
chain and bar thus prolonging life. Always use a
good quality oil.
WARNING - Never use waste oil.
Always use biodegradable lubrificant
(eco -lube Efco p.n. 001001552 (5ℓ) -
001001553 (1ℓ) / eco-lube Oleo-Mac p.n.
001001548 (5ℓ) - 001001549 (1ℓ)) which is
specific for bar and chain and also respectful
towards nature, operator health and electric
saw’s parts.
WARNING - Remove the battery before
working on the cutting equipment.
