7.3.5. BRANCH CUTTING OR SMALL TRUNK CUTTING
When cutting branches or small trunks use a strong
support such as an easel.
Never hold the trunk by using your feet or asking
someone else to hold the wood for you.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The removal of security mechanisms, an
inappropriate maintenance, the substitution of the
bar and chain with non original spares could cause
severe corporal damages.
Always carry out maintenance work with the
machine unplugged from the mains.
Carry out the following maintenance checks prior to
working as well as when finishing your job to ensure
the good functioning of this machine in the future.
8.1. CHAIN OIL OUTPUT
Disassemble the bar
and check that the
lubrication hole
indicated in the
image is not
clogged.
8.2. SHARPNESS OF CHAIN TEETH
Attention!: An incorrectly sharpened chain increases
the risk of kick back as well as increasing the
vibration level and possible accidents!
To ensure that the machine cuts correctly, maintain
the chain sharpened. You must also sharpen the chain
if:
• You must place more pressure to cut.
• The cut is not straight.
• There is an increase of the vibration levels.
• When cutting instead of splinters you see shavings.
Do not forget to always use security gloves when
sharpening the chain. Make sure the chain is placed
correctly once it has been sharpened.
Use a special file for chainsaws when sharpening the
chain.
Place the file between points (A) and (B) and push the
file forward maintaining a 30 angle.
File all the teeth of the chain in the same manner,
filing forward at a 30 angle.
Check the security height (C), this height must be
some 0.6mm approximately. A height (C) larger than
0.6mm will cause the chain to bite the wood and
will require a higher work rate from the engine and a
lower height will mean that the chain will cut badly.
