c. Release of the chain brake
To use the chain saw again, the chain brake must be
released. This must be done machine off and cooled. Pull the
shield until it returns to its original position.
d. Sharpening of the chain
For best performance, we strongly recommend that you
periodically sharpen the chain. The chain can either be
sharpened by a professional or by yourself by providing you
with a sharpening guide (make sure you know how to use it).
The chain must be sharpened when:
- Wood chips have become powder
- To make a normal cut, force on the tool
- The cut is not straight
- Vibration increases
- Fuel consumption has increased
e. Checking the lubrication of the chain
- Before checking the oil, make sure that the bar and the
chain are in place.
- Once the engine is started, turns it at medium speed and
checks that the chain oil is sprayed and traces off the ground.
- The oil flow of the chain is adjustable to obtain the proper
flow. Insert a screwdriver on the clutch side.
- Turn the adjuster to obtain the correct flow rate for the job.
- The chainsaw must essentially consume the contents of the
oil tank between each full of fuel. Do not forget to fill the oil
tank when filling the machine with fuel.
