Before you start locating faults, check that the oil flow from the power source is
correct, and that the pressure relief valve is set correctly. Follow the instructions in
the workshop manual of the power source.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Saw does not start, there is
no
pressure in P-hose

Replace worn parts in handle
See section 9
Dismount trigger from valve
block, and clean or replace
parts
See section 8

Safety trigger does not work Spring is too slack
Replace spring, see section 9
Impurities in hydraulic oil
Replace oil and oil filter (see
workshop manual of power

source is not correct for the
saw
Check oil flow
Defective Q.R. coupling
Check Q.R. coupling
