6. Chain lubrication
The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic
lubrication system, which ensures the chain is always
lubricated optimally. However, the system depends
on chain oil in oil tank and regular cleaning.
The chainsaw is not supplied filled with oil. It is
essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an
empty oil tank level, as this will result in
extensive damage to the product.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via oil outlet.
Filling chain oil in tank
1. Set chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler
cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth and
unscrew cap.
3. Do not remove filter insert during filling.
4. Add chainsaw oil until reservoir is full.
5. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler
cap and tighten
To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small
breather channels are provided between the oil
filler cap and the strainer. To prevent leakage,
ensure machine is left in a horizontal position
(oil filler cap facing up) when not in use
Use only the recommended chain oil (ALCO SAE 30 or
similar with viscosity 120) to avoid damage to the
chainsaw. Never use recycled/old oil.
Use of non-approved oil will invalidate the warranty.
Check oil level prior to starting and regularly during
operation. Refill oil when oil level is low.
To test the oil lubrication, apply half speed on chain.
Check that the chain oil sprays out as shown in
the illustration (
See Fig. 4
). If no oil comes out, check
that there is oil in oil tank and make sure the guide bar
groove and holes are free from dirt. Also clean around
the oil outlet behind the bar on machine.
7. Use
See Fig. 5
Before use, make sure that the battery is fitted properly
with the battery lock in place.
To start the machine first press the main switch (1), so
the power indicator (2) lights green. Then hold the
safety switch (3) and activate the trigger switch (4).
Stop the machine by releasing the trigger switch (4).
Automatic switch off function
The machine is equipped with a switch off function that
deactivated the machine if not used within approx. 60
seconds. The green power indicator light will switch off
too. Press the main switch (1) to restart.
8. Clothing
When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes,
strong working gloves, hearing protectors, eye
protection, safety boots with non-skid soles and
protective trousers.
9. Tips and advices
This tool is used for cutting smaller branches
off from trees. Do not try to cut trees with it.
Only branches. Always be careful when
working above head height, as falling branches
might hit you.
See Fig. 6A
Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right side of the body. Use the belt
strap.
See Fig. 6B
Whenever possible, try position yourself so that you can
make the cut in right angles to the branches.
See Fig. 6C
Cut large branches in sections, so that you have better
control over where they fall. You should also pay
attention to the fact that falling branches can bounce in
the direction of the user after hitting the ground.
See Fig. 6D
Never cut through the swelling at the roof of the branch
as this will slow down healing and increase the risk of
fungal attack.
The hedge trimmer is not suitable for cutting
grass!
See Fig. 6E
Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide
support during cutting. This will help prevent the
cutting attachment from ”jumping” on the branch.
See Fig. 6F
Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch
before cutting through the branch. This will prevent
tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing
and cause permanent damage to the tree. The cut
should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness
to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you
withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to
prevent it from jamming.
10. Maintenance
Before any service and maintenance is done,
the power must be disconnected, it means the
battery removed from the tool.
•
Remove the battery before you clean and store the
machine.
•
For obtaining the best cutting results the chain and
guide bar must be cleaned and oiled regularly.
Remove dirt with a brush and oil lightly.
•
Use biodegradable oil.
•
Clean the housing and other parts with a mild
cleanser and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive
cleansers or solvents.
•
Prevent water from getting into the machine.
