pulling and twisting it simultaneously.
Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench. Clean the spark plug with a copper wire
brush or fit a new one.
CARBURETTOR SETTING
The carburettor has been factory set. If it requires adjusting, take the saw to your nearest
authorised service centre.
CHAIN BAR
The bar should be turned over every 10 working hours to ensure uniform wear of the top and
bottem edges of the chain bar.
Keep the bar groove and lubrication holes clean. Check the bar frequently for wear.
If necessary, remove any burs using a flat file.
WARNING:
Never fit a new chain to a worn chain bar.
CHAIN
Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure that cutters are sharpened at the correct
angle and depth. For the inexperienced chainsaw user, we recommend that the saw chain be
professionally sharpened by a service centre.
NOTE:
A sharp chain produces well-defined chips. When your chain starts to produce
sawdust, it is time to resharpen it.
CHAIN SHARPENING DETAILS
NOTE:
After the blades have been
sharpened 3-4 times, check the height of
the depth limiter and if necessary lower it
with a flat file and then round off the front
corner.
CHAIN TENSION
Check the chain tension frequently and
adjust as often as necessary to keep the
chain snug on the bar. If the chain is gently
pulled down with the fingers at the centre of
the bar. The gap between the chain and the
bar should be 6 to 8 mm.
THE CHAIN NEED TO BE SHARPENED WHEN:
Sawdust becomes powder-like.
You need extra force to saw in.
The cut path does not go straight.
Vibration increases.
Fuel consumption increases.
