Allow the engine to heat up with throttle lever (11) slightly pressed.
Move the brake lever (6) to switched off position (to the back).
In case the engine does not start at the first try, pull out the choke (2) halfway and pull the starter line again.
Do not start the engine while holding the saw in hands. During start up the chain saw must rest on ground and be held firmly.
Ensure the chain is free to move without touching any object. Do not cut any material with choke cable pulled out.
4.2. Stopping the engine.
Release the throttle lever (11) and allow the engine to run idle for a few minutes. Set the ignition switch (14) to STOP
position.
4.3. Checking chain lubrication.
Check lubrication of the chain and oil level in the tank before starting to work.
Switch on the saw and hold it above ground. If you see enlarging oil marks, the chain lubrication works well. If there are
no oil marks or they are very small, use oil feed adjustment screw (9) to make appropriate adjustments. In case the adjustment
brings no effects, clean oil outlet, upper hole of chain tension and oil way or contact service.
Make adjustments when the saw is switched off, observe precaution measures and do not allow the guide bar to touch
ground. Operate the tool safely and maintain at least 20 cm distance from ground.
Use oil feed adjustment screw (9) to set amount of supplied oil accordingly to respective operating conditions.
MIN position - oil flow decreases.
MAX position - oil flow increases.
When cutting hard and dry wood and using whole length of the guide bar when making a cut, set the oil feed adjustment
screw (9) to the MAX position.
You can reduce amount of oil supplied by turning oil feed adjustment screw (9) to MIN position, when cutting soft and damp
wood, or when only part of the working length of the guide bar is used.
Depending on ambient temperature and amount of oil supplied, you can operate the chain saw for 15 to 40 minutes per one
filling the oil tank (tank capacity is 250 ml). Oil tank should be almost empty when the fuel tank is emptied. When filling the fuel
remember about filling oil tank as well.
4.4. Chain lubricants.
Durability of chain and guide bar depends heavily on quality of lubricant. Use only lubricants, which are designed for chain
saws.
Never use regenerated or previously used oil for chain lubrication.
4.5. Chain guide bar.
Guide bar (20) is exposed to heavy wear especially in tip and bottom part. To prevent side wear due to friction, it is
recommended to turn over the guide bar every time the chain is sharpened. Clean the guide bar groove and oil holes on that
occasion. Guide bar groove is rectangular. Check the groove against wear. Put rule to guiding strip and outer surface of a chain
tooth. If you observe distance between, the groove is correct.
Otherwise the guide bar is worn out and needs to be replaced.
4.6. Chain wheel.
Driving chain wheel is subject to especially heavy wear. Replace the chain wheel when you observe clear signs of wear of
wheel teeth. Worn chain wheel additionally reduces durability of chain. Chain wheel should be replaced by authorized service
workshop.
4.7. Chain brake.
The saw features automatic brake, which stops the chain in case of recoil during chain saw operation. The brake engages
automatically when force of inertia is applied to a weight located inside the brake casing. The chain brake can also be switched
on manually, when the brake lever (6) is moved towards the guide bar (20). Switching the chain brake stops the chain movement
in 0.12 sec.
4.8. Braking check.
Ensure the brake operates correctly before each use of the saw.
Put operating saw on the ground and open the throttle fully for 1 - 2 seconds to allow the saw engine to operate at its
maximum speed. Push the brake lever (6) forward. The chain should stop immediately.
In case the chain stops slowly or does not stop at all, replace the brake band and clutch drum before using the chain saw
again.
To release the brake, pull the brake lever (6) towards the main handle (12) so you can hear sound typical of blockade
snapping.
Ensure the chain brake operates correctly and the chain is sharp. It is very important for keeping potential recoil at a safe
level.
In case the brake does not operate efficiently, adjust it or repair in authorized service site.
