W e thank you for having purchased this product that will hereafter
also be referred to as "tool", "machine", or "electric chain saw".
! ! IMPORTANT! The electric chain saw is suitable for cutting wood
(felling small trees, sectioning felled trunks, cutting branches on
felled trunks).
Pruning or trimming trees with the operator off the ground is
prohibited.
These instructions contain information deemed necessary for proper
use, knowledge and standard tool maintenance. Additional com-
prehensive information on cutting techniques must be acquired by the
user, from specific book and publications or by attending specialised
courses with practical training.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out any operation on the chain saw,
disconnect it from the power supply.
IMPORTANT! Always use protective gloves when handling the
chain.
BAR WITH "NO TOOLS" TENSIONING, WITH TENSIONING PLATE
1. Assembly of the bar, the chain, and the housing (Fig. C)
- Place the chain saw on a flat surface and remove the housing (18)
by unscrewing the wheel (17).
- Insert the chain (12) around the bar (10) being careful to assemble
it in the correct direction.
- Pass the chain around the sprocket (19) and positioning the bar
on the pin (16).
- Pull the bar to the right to slightly tension the chain.
- Assemble the housing (18), correctly inserting the reference pins.
- Turn the ring (24) to tension the chain.
- Fix the housing by turning the wheel (17) as much as possible.
IMPORTANT! Do not use the chain saw before adjusting the chain
tension.
2. Adjusting the chain tension (Fig. C)
- Loosen the wheel half a turn (17).
- Turn the chain tensioning nut clockwise (24) until you reach the
correct tension. The chain tension is correct when you are able to
manually lift the chain 3-4 mm from the centre of the bar.
- If the chain is too tight, slightly loosen the chain tensioning nut (24)
and repeat the adjustment.
- When the adjustment is complete, manually tighten (do not use
pliers or tools) the central wheel securely (17).
IMPORTANT! The chain tension must be checked every time before
you begin working, after the initial cuts, and regularly every 10
minutes while working.
IMPORTANT! During the first cuts, when the machine is still new,
the chain will loosen quite frequently, but this is normal during the
breaking-in period of a new tool.
IMPORTANT! Never leave the chain loose as it may come off the
bar while cutting.
Do not tension the chain excessively because the lubrication system
may not function correctly.
3. FILLING THE TANK AND LUBRICATION OF THE CHAIN
IMPORTANT! Do not use old or recycled oil to fill the tank.
Introduction:
The chain saw is sold with an empty tank.
- Do not use the chain saw without oil or with an oil level under
the minimum as it will compromise the proper functioning of the
equipment and operator safety.
- Unscrew the oil cap (Fig. A nr. 6) and fill the tank with biodegradable
chain oil available in specialized shops, hardware stores, agricultural
machinery dealers, etc.
- Fill the tank to a maximum of 2 cm below the cap, being careful not
to introduce dirt, sawdust, or dust inside.
- IMPORTANT! It is very important to keep the chain saw clean (with
a brush) around the cap before refilling.
- IMPORTANT! The oil level must be controlled frequently during
running because the chain must always be lubricated. If the chain
saw runs without oil or with oil below the minimum level, the chain
and the bar will wear out quickly and tool's lifespan will be reduced.
Check the oil level frequently through the inspection window (nr.9)
to ascertain that it does not fall below the minimum.
- IMPORTANT! One fill-up of oil may last from 10 to 30 minutes
according to the chain tension, the type of wood being cut, the
environmental temperature, the oil density, and the usage of the
chain saw.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Starting the electric chain saw
