move it with your gloved hands. If needed, repeat
the process until the chain is mounted correctly.
New chains have a certain dilatation when first
used. Verify and regulate the tenion of the chain
regularly. An incorrectly tensed chain will wear out
quickly and will also wear out the guide of the bar.
6.3. POINTS TO BE CHECKED PRIOR TO USING THE
MACHINE
The electric current and electric tension must
comply with those on the characteristics label of the
machine. Before starting to work with the machine,
always check the machine works correctly and
securely.
Check the machine and ensure all nuts are tightly
secured, there are no lose pieces. Replace or repair
any broken pieces that you may have seen to be in a
bad state. Ensue there are no oil leakages. Do not use
the machine if damaged or incorrectly regulated.
6.3.1 VERIFICATION OF THE CHAIN BRAKE
When the machine kicks back, the tip of the bar
elevates itself and the machine changes angle sharply
not allowing the end user to change the arms position
and the arm hits against the security protector and
this activates the chain brake.
The chain brake stops the engine in 0.15 seconds.
The chain brahe can be activated at any moment by
pushing the security protector forward. To remove the
chain brake, pull the security protector back until you
hear a click.
Check the chain brake every time you use the
machine prior to start up. To do this and with the
machine not on the mains, activate the chain brake
by pushing the security protector until you hear a
click.
Hold the machine horizontally at a distance from
the wood of some 40cm, remove the hand holding the
front handle and allow the machine to carefully fall
until the tip of the bar touches the piece of wood. If
the brake works correctly the chain should not move
when it contacts the piece of wood. If this is not the
case and the chain moves, you must take the machine
to your nearest after sales agent for the machine to
be repaired.
6.3.2. CHAIN OIL
Only use oil specfically recommended for chainsaws.
Do not use already used oils or oils with impurities as
this could damage the oil pump of the machine.
The chain oil must be introduced in the chain oil
deposit. To avoid dirt and impurities entering the
interior of the deposit, clean the oil cap of the deposit
before opening it. Close the cap of the oil level and
clean if any oil has fallen outside the deposit.
Check the level of the oil by looking at the oil level
gauge.
