Chain lubrication
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with
special chainsaw oil. Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting operations is
essential to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating
oil. Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease rapid cutting efficiency, shorten saw
chain life, cause rapid dulling of the chain, and lead to excessive wear of the bar from
overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
Preventative maintenance servicing a double insulated appliance
In this double insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation, instead of grounding, are provided.
No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance. No serviceable parts are inside. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words, “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. The symbol
may also be marked on the appliance.
1.
Place switch in “off” position and unplug the power supply before the appliance is
serviced, cleaned, or maintenance is performed.
2.
Keep the air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.
3.
Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not squirt with a water hose or douse with
water or other liquids.
4.
Inspect the saw chain for proper tension before each use and frequently during cutting.
Sharpen as required.
5.
Clean the guide bar and bar pad to ensure free path for oil.
6.
Turn the bar over after each use to achieve even wear.
7.
No motor lubrication is necessary. The motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated
bearings.
8.
If the saw does not operate, turn switch to OFF position and disconnect the extension
cord, first from the power supply, then from the saw. Check the power supply for blown
fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If it still does not operate, contact your local dealer. Do
not attempt to repair it yourself. No serviceable parts are inside.

3.
Store idle chain saw
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach of
children.
4.
Do not force the chain saw
The chain saw will do a better and safer job when used at the rate for which it was
intended.
5.
Use the right tool
Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for which it was not intended. For
example, do not use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-building materials.
6.
Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can get caught in moving parts. Non-skid
footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
7.
Use safety gear
Use safety glasses, safety footwear, snug fitting clothing, protective gloves, and
protective hearing and head gear.
8.
Carrying the saw
Carry the saw by the front handle with the saw stopped. Keep your finger off the switch,
and make sure that the guide bar and saw chain are to the rear.
9.
Do not abuse the cord
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure work
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
11. Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12. Maintain the chain saw with care
Inspect the chain saw cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an
authorized service facility. Keep the cord clear of the chain and operator at all times. Never
carry the saw by the cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord from oil
and sharp edges. Inspect the extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
13. Disconnect the chain saw
Disconnect the chain saw when not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories and attachments such as saw chain and guard.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before turning it on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Ensure switch is off when
plugging in.
16. Use outdoor extension leads
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use and which are so marked (
≥
1,5
mm2).
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the chain saw
when you are tired. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the motor is
operating. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
