Adding chain oil
WARNING.
Never start work
unless the chain and bar are
lubricated.
1. Place the chain saw on its
side with the oil cap facing up.
Untwist and remove the oil
tank cap (23).
2. Fill the tank to 80% capacity
with chain oil.
3. Fasten the cap and wipe up
any oil spillage.
Starting the chainsaw
WARNING.
Do not start the motor whilst the saw hangs
from one hand. This is very dangerous as the chain may
come in contact with your body.
1. Fill the fuel and oil tanks respectively and tighten the
caps securely.
2. Set the on/off switch (19)
to On (the I position). Make
sure that the chain brake is
released by pulling the front
guard (9) towards the rear of
the saw.
3. When the machine is cold first
pull out the choke control (18)
to the CHOKE position. (Fully
withdrawn).
NOTE.
Once the choke control
has been pulled out, it cannot be
pushed back to the run position.
It returns automatically when the
trigger switch is operated.
4. Hold the chain saw securely
on the ground and pull
vigorously on the recoil starter
(14). Repeat (at least 15
times) until the engine “kicks”
(attempts to start).
5. With the lock off switch
(21) held depressed slightly
pull on the trigger switch (20)
and then release it. The
choke control will click back
one position.
6. Pull the recoil starter (14)
again and restart the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up.
7. When the engine is warm first
depress the lock off switch
then pull fully on the trigger switch for a short burst.
The choke control will fully retract to the RUN position,
your chainsaw is now ready for use.
8. When restarting the engine when it is still warm, set the
choke control to the START position. Hold the chain saw
securely on the ground and pull vigorously on the recoil
starter (14). Allow the engine to run for a few moments
with the trigger switch pulled slightly.
9. When the engine is fully warm, pull on the trigger switch.
The choke control will fully retract to the RUN position.
