Make sure to mount the chain in the correct direction.
(1) Tensioner bolt
(2) Loosen
(3) Tension
Put the chain brake cover in position and fit the nut tightening it by hand, never with
the tool. Stretching and lifting the tip of the guide bar up to tension the chain, tighten the
chain tensioner screw with the screwdriver so that the chain is finally taut.
Normal chain tension should allow you to lift the chain one finger above the guide
bar, pulling it upwards, if it is over-tensioned, the motor will not be able to turn it.
Tighten the nut with the wrench, making sure that it is fixed and manually check
that the chain slides without difficulty on the guide bar.
WARNING!
New chains tend to slacken, loosen the nut a little and tighten it, and retighten the nut
again. Never use the machine with the chain slack, it could come off and cause injury.
4. FUEL AND OILS
- GASOLINE
Gasoline is highly flammable, avoid smoking or producing
any type of flame or spark near the fuel.
Be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool down before refueling the chainsaw.
Select an open field for refueling and move the chainsaw at least 3 meters (10
feet) away from the refueling point before starting the engine.
The engines are lubricated with a specific two-stroke engine oil for forestry and
garden machinery.
Do not use two-stroke oil for water-cooled
engines, and do not use the oil used by twostroke outboard engines or
scooters.
- PROPORTION OF THE MIXTURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER (4%):
These engines are prepared to run on 95 unleaded gasoline mixed with 4%
forestry and garden two-stroke engine oil.
For example, if you want to mix a liter of gasoline, you should add 40ml of this type
of oil. Poor quality oils or oils not recommended by the manufacturer damage the
engine causing a major breakdown in the machine.
