18. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have effective switches replaced
by an authorized service facility. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
19. Warning!The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in this
instruction manual, may present a risk of personal injury.
20. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person
This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may
result in considerable danger to the user.
Warning! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip
contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in
serious injury to the user. The following precautions should be followed to
minimize kickback.
21. Guard against Kickback
A.
Grip saw firmly! Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running.
Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle,
and the left hand on the front handle.
B.
Do not over reach.
C. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
D. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.
E.
Do not cut above shoulder height.
F.
Use devices, such as low-kickback chain, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and
special guide bars, which reduce the risks associated with kickback.
G. Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.
H. There are no other replacement components for achieving kickback protection in
accordance with CSA Z62.3.
22. Power supply
Connect the chain saw to correct voltage; be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
23. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger is
released.
24. Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or experience.
25. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, or
bystanders may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.

Warning! The risk of kick-back increases when:
•
file-angle is too big
•
cutting-angle is too small
•
diameter of round file is too small
B. Sharpening the tooth
To sharpen the teeth of the saw you need a round file and a file
mould. Consult a specialist store in chain saws for these items.
1.
Check if the chain is stretched out completely. Otherwise the
chain is not stable enough and cannot be sharpened correctly.
2.
Always file from the inside of the tooth to the outside. Always lift
up the file when you start sharpening another tooth. First file all
teeth on one side, turn round the chain saw and then file the
teeth on the other side.
3.
After filing, the teeth should all have the same length. When the
length of the teeth is only 4 mm, the chain is worn and should be
replaced.
C. The cutting-depth
When you sharpen the teeth, the cutting-depth will decrease. To
maintain the maximum saw capacity, the ridge (B) has to be lowered.
To attain a perfect cutting-depth you should use also a depth-
mould. Consult a specialist store in chain saws for the specific tool
and measurements. Adjusting the cutting-depth has to be done
directly after the teeth are sharpened. You use a flat file and a depth-
mould for this. The cutting-depth is correct when you don’t feel
resistance anymore, while moving the file across the mould.
Chain tension
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as necessary
to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to be pulled
around by hand. (See Section Saw Chain Tension Adjustment).
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as few as 5 cuts.
This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval between
future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly. Over a period of
time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will become worn,
resulting in what is called chain strength. This is normal. When it is no
longer possible to obtain correct chain tension adjustment, a link will
have to be removed to shorten the chain. See your Authorized
Service Center to have this repair performed.
Warning! Never have more than 3 links removed from a loop of chain this could
cause damage to the sprocket.
