PLACEMENT OF PRUNER CHAIN
•
Remove the sprocket wheel cover (34)
.
• Remove the guide bar and chain.
• Remove the old chain and replace with the new chain.
• Mount the guide bar and then fit the saw chain around the bar and sprocket, paying
particular attention to the correct direction of the chain.
•
Fit the chain tensioner into the lower hole of the guide bar (24).
•
Attach the sprocket wheel cover and loosely tighten the nut.
• Turn the chain tensioner clockwise until the chain fits snugly onto the guide bar.
•
Tighten the sprocket wheel cover nut, then using gloves, pull the chain around the guide
bar to check that the chain has the correct tension without any tight spots.
•
Fill the chain oil reservoir with chain oil and before cutting
,
run
the chain at medium
speed
to make sure chain oil is thrown off. This ensures that the
chain is being
lubricated.
It is very important to maintain proper chain tension as incorrect chain tension can
cause the guide bar to wear and the chain to come off.
Operating the
Pruner
:
•
The
Pruner
is equipped with a low kickback chain, however, sometimes kickback can
occur so always hold the unit firmly in both hands.
•
Thin branches can be cut off with a single cut but if the branch is long it is preferable to
cut
it
off in several pieces.
• For larger branches follow the diagrams below for a safe clean cut. Make the first cut
from underneath and cut through one third to half o
f
the branch.
•
Do not work at an angle higher than 60 degrees as there is a danger of being injured by
branches falling without warning.
Before every use, check the level of the chain oil in the reservoir.
