GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Adjust the tension on the chain by turning the wheel
Filling with chain oil
down (+) for tighter tension and up (-) to loosen the
tension.
•
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
•
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so
that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the
right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as
recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel
lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the
recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long
will use more chain oil).
•
Tighten the bar clutch by turning the knob clockwise.
Checking chain lubrication
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
•
Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
!
If the chain lubrication is not working:
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and
also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it
is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal
chain oil which has a vegetable oil base.We recommend the
use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to
minimise environmental damage. If our own chain oil is not
available, standard chain oil is recommended.
•
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to
you and damage the machine and environment.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil,
dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain
before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the
saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain
becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
