Checking the operation of the clutch.
Each time the chainsaw is started, the operation of the clutch (22) should
be checked as per the following detail. The chain MUST first be checked to
ensure correct tension adjustment before starting.
1. When attempting to start the chainsaw, the chain (20) should not be trying
to move around the guide bar (19) under the influence of the recoil starter
(11). If it is trying to rotate around the guide bar (19), STOP the starting
process and take the saw to an authorised service centre.
2. If point 1 is correct and the chain (20) is not trying to rotate around the
guide bar (19), start the chainsaw as per the section in the manual “Starting
the Chainsaw”.
3. With the chainsaw operating and at idle and ensuring the chain (20) is in
a safe position with respect of other persons and any objects, release the
chain brake (13).
CHECK, the chain (20) should NOT be rotating around the guide bar (19) at
idle speed.
4. Operate the safety lever (2) and then accelerate the throttle trigger (3).
The chain (20) should start and rotate. The harder the throttle trigger (3)
is pulled, the faster the chain (20) will rotate. RELEASE the throttle trigger
(3) so the motor returns to the idle condition. The chain (20) MUST stop
rotating around the guide bar (19) when the motor of the saw is at idle.
5. If the chain (20) is constantly rotating when the motor of the saw is at idle,
the chainsaw should NOT be used and the chainsaw should be taken to an
authorised service centre for repair.
6. DO NOT use the chainsaw if the clutch (22) does not totally disengage
when the motor of the saw is at idle.
Re-setting the Chain Brake
The front guard / chain brake (13) operates automatically in the event of
kickback. In the event of a kickback, the guide bar (19) kicks up, the wrist of
the operator’s hand on the top handle knocks against the front guard / chain
brake (13) causing it to move forward thus activating the chain brake (13).
To reset the front guard / chain brake (13) this can be done manually by
pulling it firmly towards the back of the chainsaw until a click is heard. (Fig A).
CAUTION: Each time the chainsaw is used, check that the chain brake (13)
is operating correctly.
Operation
WARNINGS:
• Always follow the safety instructions given at the front of this manual.
This chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It must not be used
for cutting other types of material. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for
lifting, moving or splitting objects.
• Do not attach the chainsaw to a fixed stand.
• Do not attach any devices to the chainsaw other than those specified by
the manufacturer.
• Be aware of any local or national restrictions when using this appliance.
This could include, but is not restricted to, times of operation, location of
operation, or work place operation.
Helpful Hints
• Do not force the chainsaw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst
running the engine at full throttle.
• If the chain (20) gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting
the guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so
that the chain is freed.
Vibration
Vibration white finger may occur in operators using hand held vibrating tools
such as chainsaws. Continual vibration can cause both vascular damage and
also Nerve Damage to the operator.
The following guidelines can reduce the risk:
- Limit the use of vibrating tools.
- Hold vibrating tools as loosely as possible and in varying positions.
- Ensure tools are well maintained; make sure cutting blades are kept sharp
to maintain efficiency, and replace worn parts.
- Use tools correctly, and use the right tool for the job (to do the job more
quickly and reduce exposure time).
- Store tools so that they do not have very cold handles when next used.
- Use anti-vibration gloves.
- Take regular breaks of at least 10 minutes every hour away from the tool.
