CLEANING, TRANSPORT
AND STORAGE
• Do not clean with aggressive
liquids.
• Store the machine in a dry and
safe place inaccessible to
children.
• Before transporting or storing
the chainsaw, protect the
bar/chain with the guard
supplied.
Chain lubrication
Before each job, please check the
efficiency of the chain lubrication
and test the oil level in the tank; do
not work without chain lubrication:
even
a
short
use
without
lubrication,
would
definitely
damage either the bar or the chain.
The efficiency of the oil flow can be
tested (with accelerated engine) by
keeping the tip of the bar near a
surface
BAR
- Periodically clean the chain
run groove and the oil passages -
Lubricate the sprocket wheel with
bearing grease.
• Reverse the bar on the occasion
of every maintenance operation to
ensure more uniform wear.
In case
of chain / bar replacement, please
use original spare parts only; the
type of bar and chain originally
supplied with the chain saw has
been
tested
and
certificated
according to the existing laws,
particularly in order to limit any kick
back danger; therefore using non
original bar and chain can be very
dangerous for the user. The brand
and type of bar and chain are
indicated on the technical data
table.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and sharpening
• When the chain is properly
sharpened, the work is not tiring, the
cutting yield is high, and there is no
abnormal wear on the mechanical
parts or the bar
• Before sharpening, the chain must
be made taught by means of the
chain tensioner
• After sharpening, slacken the chain
as per the mounting instructions.
• During sharpening, lock the chain,
using the brake.
• Sharpen by filing from the inside
outwards ( Fig A, part 5 ) all the
teeth on one side and then all the
teeth on the other
• Position the blade in such a way
that it projects about 1mm ( Fig A,
part 4 ) above the level of the cutting
edges
