Operating Instructions
During break-in period:
A factory-new machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle off load) for the first
three tank fillings. This avoids unnecessary high loads during the break-in period. As all
moving parts have to bed in during the break-in period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period. The engine develops its maximum power after about
5 to 15 tank fillings.
Do not make the mixture leaner to achieve an apparent increase in power
–
this could
damage the engine
–
see "Adjusting the Carburetor".
Check chain tension frequently: A new chain has to be re-tensioned more often
than one that has been in use for some time.
Chain cold: Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly against the underside
of the bar and can still be pulled along the bar by hand. Re-tension if necessary
–
see “Tensioning
the Saw Chain".
Chain at operating temperature: The chain stretches and begins to sag. The
drive links must not come out of the bar groove
–
the chain may otherwise
jump off the bar. Re-tension the chain
–
see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
After long period of full throttle operation: Allow engine to run for a short while at
idle speed so that engine heat can be dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This
protects engine-mounted components (ignition, carburetor) from thermal
overload.
The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it can damage the gear
shaft and bearings.
After Finishing Work:
Slacken off the chain if you have re-tensioned it at operating temperature during
cutting work.
Storing your saw for a short period Wait for the engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry location. Check the tightness of all
accessible screws and nuts (not adjusting screws) at regular intervals and
retighten if necessary.
Storing for a long period See chapter on "Storing the Machine"
Always slacken off the chain after finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down.
If it is not slackened off, it can damage the gear shaft and bearings.
