ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

See page 27.

1.  Stop the engine. Wear protective gloves. Disengage 

the chain brake.

2.  Make sure the bar mounting nuts are loosened to 

finger-tight.

3.  To increase the chain tension, turn the chain tensioning 

screw clockwise and check the chain tension frequently. 

To reduce the chain tension, turn the chain tensioning 

screw counterclockwise and check the chain tension 

frequently.

Tighten the bar mounting nuts by turning them clockwise 

to 11 ~ 13 Nm (Turn the nut 180° or 3 flats past finger 

tight). Do not overtighten.

NOTE

: The chain tension is correct when the gap between 

the cutter in the chain and the bar is about 3 - 4 mm. Pull the 

chain in the middle of the lower side of the bar downwards 

(away from the bar) and measure the distance between the 

bar and the chain cutters.

NOTE

: The temperature of the chain increases during 

normal operation causing the chain to stretch. Check the 

chain tension frequently and adjust as required. A chain 

tensioned while warm may be too tight upon cooling. Make 

sure that the chain tension is correctly adjusted as specified 

in these instructions.

OPERATION

FUEL AND REFUELLING

Handling the fuel safely

 WARNING

Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to 

a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 

10 metres from refuelling site before starting the engine. 

Do not smoke! Failure to heed this warning can result in 

possible personal injury.

 WARNING

Check for fuel leaks. If any are found, correct them 

before using the product to prevent fire or burn injury.

 

Always handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

 

Always refuel outdoors away from potential sources of 

ignition, do not inhale fuel vapours.

 

Do not let petrol or lubricant come in contact with skin. 

If contact does occur wash immediately with soap and 

plenty of water.

 

Keep petrol and lubricant away from the eyes. If petrol 

or lubricant comes in contact with the eyes, wash them 

immediately with clean water. If irritation is still present, 

see a physician immediately.

Mixing the fuel

 

The product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and 

requires  pre-mixing  petrol  and  2-cycle  lubricant.  Pre-

mix unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a 

clean container approved for petrol.

 

The engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol 

intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 91 

or higher.

 

Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/lubricant from 

fuel service stations; this includes the pre-mixed petrol/

lubricant intended for use in mopeds and motorcycles.

 

Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing lubricant for air-

cooled engines. Do not use automotive lubricant or 

2-cycle outboard lubricant.

 

Mix 2% lubricant into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.

 

Mix the fuel thoroughly and each time before fuelling.

 

Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger 

than usable in a 30-day period. A 2-cycle lubricant 

containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.

NOTE:

 Fuel system damage or performance problems 

resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing 

more than the percentages of oxygenates stated previously 

are not covered under warranty.

Filling the fuel tank

See page 14.

 

Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent 

contamination.

1.  Loosen the fuel cap by turning it counterclockwise.

2.  Lift the fuel cap and set aside.

3.  Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid 

spillage.  Prior  to  replacing  the  fuel  cap,  clean  and 

inspect the gasket. Immediately replace the fuel cap 

and hand tighten it. Wipe away any fuel spillage.

NOTE:

 It is normal for the engine to emit smoke during and 

after the first use.

ADDING CHAIN LUBRICATING OIL

See page 15.

 WARNING

Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw chain is 

running without lubricant, guide bar and saw chain can 

be damaged. It is therefore essential to check the oil 

level frequently and every time before starting to use the 

product.

 

Clear surface around the oil tank cap to prevent 

contamination.

1.  Unscrew and remove the oil tank cap from the oil tank.

2.  Lift the oil tank cap and set aside.

3. 

Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level 

gauge. Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank while 

filling. Put the oil tank cap back on and tighten. Wipe 

away any spillage.

 

One full oil tank will enable you to use the product for 

20 - 40 min.

NOTE:

 A properly functioning chain and bar lubricating 

system will normally discharge oil from the chain during 

use. To check the functionality of the chain and bar 

lubricating system, point the tip of the chain at a light 

coloured surface, such as a newspaper. While the product 

is operating, a distinct line of oil splatter should be observed
