When not in use, chain saw should be stored clean, on fl at surface, in dry place and beyond reach of children. When storing it is
important to avoid deposition of rubber particles in basic parts of the fuel system, such as carburettor, fuel fi lter, fuel line and fuel
tank. Fuels with alcohol additives (ethanol or methanol) may absorb moisture and that during storing causes separation of fuel
blend ingredients and formation of acids. Acidic petrol may damage the engine.
5.2. Air fi lter.
Dirty air fi lter reduces effi ciency of combustion engine and causes increase of fuel consumption. Clean the air fi lter after each
5 hours of the saw operation. Clean the air fi lter lid (4) and its surroundings, so the dirt does not get into carburettor chamber
after the lid is removed. Unscrew knob for air fi lter lid (3) and remove air fi lter lid (4). Remove air fi lter. Use water with soap
to clean the fi lter, wash with clean water and dry thoroughly. Install air fi lter. Ensure the grooves on the air fi lter rim match
protrusions on the air fi lter lid (4). When installing the air fi lter lid (4) make sure to properly place ignition plug wire and access
sleeves for carburettor adjustment screws. Do not wash the air fi lter in petrol or any other fl ammable solvent to avoid fi re hazard
or appearance of dangerous vapours.
5.3. Cylinder fi ning.
Dust deposition on the cylinder fi ning may cause motor overheating. Check regularly and clean the cylinder fi ning when
carrying out maintenance of the air fi lter.
5.4. Guide bar and saw chain.
Check condition of the guide bar and chain every 5 hours of the saw operation. Set the ignition switch (11) to off position.
Loosen and unscrew the guide bar fi xing nuts. Remove the casing and disassemble guide bar (14) and chain (15). Clean oil
holes and groove in the guide bar (14). Lubricate tip chain wheel of the guide bar (16) through the hole located on the guide bar
tip. Check condition of the chain (15).
5.5. Chain sharpening.
Pay attention to cutting tools. Cutting tools should be sharp and clean, it allows effi cient and safe operation. Operating the
saw with blunt chain causes quick wear of the chain, guide bar and driving chain wheel, and breaking the chain in the worst
case. That is why it is important to sharpen the chain on time. Chain sharpening is a complex operation. Sharpening the chain by
yourself requires use of special tools and skills. It is recommended to entrust sharpening the chain to qualifi ed persons.
5.6. Fuel fi lter.
Unscrew the fuel fi ller plug (12). Use wire hook to remove the fuel fi lter through the fuel fi ller hole. Disassemble the fuel fi lter
and wash it in petrol or replace with a new one. Install the fuel fi lter in the tank. Tighten the fuel fi ller plug (12). When the fi lter
has been dismantled use the wire hook to hold up the end of the suction line. Be careful during fuel fi lter installation to prevent
contamination from getting into the suction line.
5.7. Oil fi lter.
Unscrew oil fi ller plug (13). Use wire hook to remove the oil fi lter through the oil fi ller hole. Wash the oil fi lter in petrol or
replace with a new one. Remove dirt from the tank. Install the oil fi lter in the tank. Tighten oil fi ller plug (13). When putting the oil
fi lter into the tank make sure it reaches front right corner.
5.8. Ignition plug.
To maintain reliable operation of the device, check condition of the ignition plug on a regular basis. Remove air fi lter lid (4).
Remove air fi lter. Remove wire from the ignition plug. Put on plug key (included) and unscrew the ignition plug. Clean and adjust
spacing between contacts (0.65 mm) (replace ignition plug when necessary).
5.9. Other instructions.
Ensure there are no fuel leaks, loosened joints or damages of main parts, especially main handle joints and guide bar fi xing.
When you fi nd any damage, make sure it is repaired before next use of the chain saw. All faults should be repaired by service
workshop authorized by the RAIDER.
Read the instructions' manual before using the
machine.
On all jobs performed with the saw you
