WARNING: The chain life depends mainly
upon suficient lubrication and correct tensioning.
WARNING:
Avoid tensioning a hot chain, this
will cause over tensioning of the chain when it cools
down.
1. Place the chain saw on any suitable lat surface.
Screw the chain tensioning ring (10) clockwise until
the tool-free system is tightened irmly. The ratchet
mechanism prevents the chain tension from loosen-
ing. (Fig.5a)
2. Correct chain tension is achieved when the chain
can be raised approximately 2-3 mm from the guide
bar in its centre. This is performed by using one
hand to raise the chain against the weight of the ma
-
chine. (Fig.5b)
3. When the chain loosens, unscrew the ring (10), and
then tighten the locking knob (11) again.
In cases where the loosened chain needs to be ad
-
justed, always unscrew the adjustable outside ring
before adjusting the chain tensioning screw/knob;
adjust the tension and tighten the bar retaining knob
accordingly.
NOTE: If the chain rotates hardly on guide bar or if it
binds, too much tension has been applied. In this case
unwind the adjusting ring anti-clockwise and move the
chain back and forth until it starts to move smoothly.
NOTE: If the chain rotates hardly on guide bar
or if it binds, too much tension has been applied. In
this case unwind the adjusting ring anti-clockwise and
move the chain back and forth until it starts to move
smoothly.
Check the tension regularly because the chain tends to
stretch with use (especially when the chain is new; after
the irst assembly, the chain tension must be checked
after 5 minutes machine operation); in any case do not
tighten the chain immediately after use, but wait until it
cools down.
CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
WARNING:
The chain saw is delivered with-
out oil in the tank. It is essential to ill the tank with oil
before use. Never operate the chain saw without oil or
under the minimum admissible oil tank level. This will
result in extensive damage to the machine.
WARNING:
Never starve the bar and chain of
lubricating oil. Running the chain saw dry or with too
little oil will decrease cutting eficiency, shorten chain
saw life, and cause premature chain dulling resulting in
excessive wear of the bar from overheating. The lack
of oil is evidenced by smoke and bar discolouration.
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain during cutting
operations is essential to minimize friction with the
guide bar. The chain saw is equipped with an automatic
oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper
amount of oil to the bar and chain.
The oil tank holds 120 mI of oil, enough to lubricate the
chain for 15-20 minutes of cutting. Check oil level gauge
(12) prior to starting and regularly during operation. Reill
oil when oil level is lower than “MIN” marking.
Filling the oil tank (Fig.6)
1. Place the chain saw on any suitable surface with the
oil tank cap (13) facing upward.
2. Clean the area around the cap with a piece of cloth.
Unscrew the tank cap.
3. Add chain saw oil until the tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt and debris entering the tank. Fit the cap
and tighten it.
WARNING: It is important to use only the recommended
oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. The use of recy-
cled/old oil will invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION!
The oil tank level should be frequently
checked during operation to avoid starving the bar and
chain of lubrication.
NOTE: Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic
oiler system and which is the only source of lubrication
for the bar and saw chain.
