INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Warm engine start
Warm engine start procedure is the same as for
cold, except that you do not need to pull the
choke out fully. Pull halfway out and start engine
using the starter handle.
Stopping the engine
Release throttle and allow the engine to idle for a
couple of minutes.
Push the start button to position
0
.
Sawing
Check that the saw is correctly set up and that all
handles and bolts are correctly tightened before
starting to saw.
Start the engine.
Hold the saw with both hands by the handles (4
and 11). Raise blade up to working area.
Press safety switch and throttle lever
simultaneously. If you release either of them, the
saw will stop.
Begin sawing when the chain has reached the
desired speed.
Thin branches can be sawn with one cut. To
prevent shredding and breaking, cut branches in
several sections.
When sawing thicker branches, cut the underside
first to prevent it breaking off, and then the upper
side. Continue until your final cut is closest to the
trunk. It may be necessary to seal the raw stump
to prevent sap seepage.
Use a stable saw horse when sawing logs or the
like.
Release the throttle immediately if the chain gets
stuck. If the chain catches, causing the blade to
kick back, the chain brake will activate by the
protective shield flipping forwards. Release the
brake by pushing the shield upright once more.
Switch saw off before activating chain brake.
The chain can expand when hot. Check regularly
to see if the chain needs tightening, to avoid it
coming off the blade. If the chain is tightened
whilst it is hot, it must be loosened again when
cool.
Replacing the chain
Remove the chain and blade as described under
Assembly and Preparation.
Take the chain off the blade, clean the blade,
plastic guard and engine housing thoroughly
with compressed air or a brush. Take special care
to clean the oil feed to the blade.
Check for blade wear and replace if necessary.
Note! Do not dispose of used chains in your
domestic refuse. Dispose of them correctly in
accordance with local legislation.
Fit the new chain onto the blade.
Cleaning and maintenance
The saw can be cleaned by wiping its exterior parts
with a damp cloth. Ensure the ventilation slots
(15) are kept free of dust and dirt.
Never use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, as
they may attack the plastic parts of the saw.
Always make sure the chain guide on the blade is
free of sawdust and bark splinters to ensure correct
lubrication. Use compressed air to keep the guide
clear. Remove the chain to clean the guide if it
cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with the chain on.
