If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
•
Turn the bar periodically to use both the sides so that
it wears evenly.
•
It is essential that motor cooling vents are kept free
from a build-up of sawdust and this decreases the
engines tools cooling capacity and causes overheating
damage to the motor as well as other important
equipment, oil pump etc. It is recommended that this is
carried out after every use.
•
Clean the guide and oil holes periodically.
•
Deburr the race sides periodically with a flat file. Time
may cause any “Burrs” to detach and damage the bar.
•
The bar needs to be evened with a flat file if one of the
races is higher than another and then smoothed with a
file and fine sandpaper. If races are considerably worn,
check that the height is always greater than the chains
transmission links so that the latter do not touch the
bottom. Replace the bar if this should occur.
The chainsaw should be periodically serviced to check the
correct operation of the chain, chain drive, motor and brake.
CAUTION.
Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
First time user
If you are not familiar with chain saws and the felling of
trees, it is recommended that you obtain informed instruc-
tions in addition to reading this manual fully. We also
recommend as a minimum that you practice cutting logs
on a saw-horse or log cradle.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Storage
•
Clean the electric chain saw with a dry cloth, do not use
aggressive cleaning fluids.
