Once the chain is at the correct tension you will need to tighten the cover plate the rest of 
the way, by pushing in the handle and rotating the cover plate handle clock-wise until there 
is no gap between the panel and the chainsaw bar (Fig. 15) and close the handle

Fig. 15

Please remember to fill the machine with oil, the machine has been designed to self oil, 
though you may need to clean the oil outlet from time to time. We recommend SAE 30 oil in 
summer and SAE 10 in winter, should you use SAE 30 in the winter you should keep the 
chainsaw in a warm location so the oil stays a thinner viscosity, failure to do this could result
in the machine not dispensing the oil correctly.

After completing the setup you will need to de-activate the break prior to use, to do this pull 
the break handle towards the carry handle, it will click when it has been done correctly, the 
machine will now be ready to use. When not being used for safety we recommend activating
the break, this can be achieved by pushing the break handle away from the carry handle.
