Operating instructions
WARNING!
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 uppermost) when not in use. It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the chain
saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved 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 is the only source of lubrication for the bar and saw chain.
Power connection
Always use the correct supply voltage. The power supply voltage must match the information quoted on the tool identification plate.
1) We recommend that you always use the appliance supplied via a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.
2) Use only extension cables suitable for outdoor use, preferably with a high visibility cord colour with the following specification:
- For extension cables up to 25 meters, use a wire cross section of 1.5mm
2
.
- For extension cables over 25 meters and less than 40 meters, use a wire cross section of 2.5 mm
2
.
3) Always completely unwind cable reels.
Starting Procedure/Starting the chainsaw
WARNING! Check the voltage and current supply. The voltage and current supply must comply with the ratings on the type plate.
WARNING! Ensure the extension cord is of the proper size and type for your saw.
SET THE CHAIN BREAK: Set the chain break by pushing the chain break lever towards the chainsaw handle until it clicks into place. This feature is designed to
aytomatically stop the chain from rotating if kickback should occur during operation (page 2, Fig. X). This chainsaw is fitted with an overload protection switch
and a trigger lock. Do not press them until you are ready to use the chainsaw. Locate a mains power supply and an extension cable that supports the 230-240
v current and plug in. Hold the chainsaw with 2 hand off the floor (Fig XI).
STARTING THE CHAINSAW: To operate the chainsaw press the trigger lock at the same time. The chainsaw should now be operational.
OVERLOAD BUTTON: If the chainsaw does not start check the socket, cable and plug for damage. Check the chain break is set properly before pressing the
overload button.
STOPPING THE CHAINSAW : To stop the chainsaw release the trigger and trigger lock button. This will disengage the electric motor. Release the chain break
and unplug the machine.
STOPPING THE CHAINSAW : To stop the chainsaw release the trigger and trigger lock button. This will disengage the electric motor. Release the chain break
and unplug the machine.
REPLACING THE GUARD : This chainsaw is supplied with a guard. When the chainsaw is not in use fit the guard by sliding it over the bar.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard. When kickback occurs, chain stops immediately. The following function check
should be carried out at regular intervals. The purpose of the chain brake testing is to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback.
WARNING! If the chain and motor fail to stop when the chain brake is engaged, take the saw to the nearest authorized dealer. Do not use the saw if the chain
brake is not in proper working.
1) Make sure the chain brake level is disengaged;
2) Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface;
3) Plug the unit into the power source;
4) Grasp the front handle with your left hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle;
5) Grasp the rear handle with your right hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle;
6) Press the lock-off button with your right thumb, then fully press the switch trigger with your index finger and hold in this position;
7) While the motor is running, activate the chain brake level by rolling your left hand forward against the chain brake level;
8) Chain and motor should stop immediately.
NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake level is in the engaged position.
CAUTION! The chain brake level should not be used for starting and stopping the saw during normal operation.
Kickback
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood,
or when the chain becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs the chain saw reacts unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to the operator or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the spiked bumper usually can not be applied.
To avoid kickback:
- Saw with guide bar at a flat angle;
- Never work with a loose, widely stretched or the heavily worn out chain;
- Ensure chain is sharpened correctly;
- Never saw above shoulder height;
- Never work with the tip of the guide bar;
- Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands;
- Always use a low kickback chain;
- Apply the metal gripping teeth for leverage;
- Ensure correct chain tension;
