HINTS & TIPS
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running the
motor at full speed.
• If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting the
guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so that the
saw chain is freed.
• While cutting, always:
– Run the chainsaw motor at full speed. This makes the job safer, as there
is less chance of pull-in or kick-back.
– Position your body to the left of the chainsaw so if it kicks back
uncontrollably, it goes over your right shoulder, never stand in the cutting
line of the saw.
– Keep a firm grip with your left hand on the front handle, with your thumb
securely below the handle.
• The swivel of your wrist in a kick-back situation will activate the chain brake.
• Make sure the chain is tensioned correctly.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File
: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch
: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge
: 1.3mm (0.050”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain optimum
performance of the saw. Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
•
Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
•
Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a chain file. Always use outward strokes and
maintain a 30° angle between the chain and file. After sharpening, the cutters
must all have the same width and length.
After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to professionally sharpen
your chain. They have the special tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting
angles and depths.
Guide bar wear
Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Check
the guide rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and square up the rails
using a flat file.
