• counterclockwise - to loosen the chain.
• Check chain tension is correct.
• Secure by tightening the guide bar mounting knob (11).
ATTENTION! You cannot pull the chain too tight. The saw chain
should be tensioned to allow it to be lifted, about 5 mm in the
center of the guide bar (fig. G).
The saw chain becomes hot during operation which causes it to
stretch and loosen, and there is a risk of it slipping off the guide bar.
Adjustments made on a very hot chain may lead to over-tightening
of the chain as it cools down.
ATTENTION! A new saw chain requires a run-in period of
approximately 5 minutes. It is very important to lubricate the
chain at this stage. Check the chain tension after the run-in
period and correct it if necessary.
It is often necessary to check and adjust its tension, as a loose
chain can easily fall off the guide bar, wear out quickly, or
cause rapid wear of the guide bar.
CHAIN LUBRICANTS
The durability of the chain and saw guide bar is largely dependent
on the quality of the lubricant used. Use only lubricants designed for
chain saws.
WARNING! Never use old, used oil to lubricate the saw chain.
FILLING THE TANK WITH OIL FOR CHAIN LUBRICATION
ATTENTION! The new saw has an empty oil reservoir. Before
using the chain saw, the tank must be filled with oil.
To prevent dirt from getting inside the reservoir, clean the oil filler
cap (9) before removing it.
• Lift the movable part of the plug cover (fig. H) and unscrew the oil
filler plug (9).
• Pour good quality oil into the reservoir until the entire window of
the oil level indicator (8) is filled with oil (fig. I)
• After adding oil, close the oil tank by carefully tightening the oil
filler plug (9).
• When using the saw, check the oil level in the tank by looking at
the oil level indicator (8).
CHAIN LUBRICATION
WARNING! To prevent excessive frictional wear, the saw chain
and bar must be lubricated during operation.
Never work with the chain saw if the lubrication of the
components mentioned is not provided. When the chain runs
dry, the entire cutting mechanism is quickly severely damaged.
That is why it is so important to check the chain lubrication and
check the oil level while using the saw.
CHAIN LUBRICATION CHECK
The lubrication of the chain and guide bar is automatic. Before
starting work, check the saw chain lubrication and the oil level in the
reservoir.
• Switch on the chain saw and hold it off the ground
• If you can see increasing traces of oil, the chain lubrication is
working properly (fig. J).
• If there are no traces of oil at all, try cleaning the oil outlet (18)
(Fig. E) and the guide oil channel (Fig. K) or contact the service
center.
ATTENTION! Be careful and never allow the chain saw to touch
the ground. For safety reasons, always keep a distance from
the ground and at least about 20 cm.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR CHAIN SAW
• Check that the chain lubrication and the condition indicated on the
dipstick (8) are correct.
• Check chain tension and adjust if necessary.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
ON / OFF
WARNING! Before operating the saw, remove the chain guide
cover and install the battery.
The saw has a switch lock button to prevent accidental start-up.
Turning on - press the switch lock button (5) and then the switch
button (6) (Fig. L).
Switching off - release the pressure on the switch button (6).
WARNING! The saw immediately starts working at full speed
when it is switched on.
CHAIN BRAKE CHECK
ATTENTION! The brake lever, and at the same time the front
hand guard (3), protects the left hand from contact with the saw
chain, and is used to automatically activate the chain brake.
Kickback occurs when the rotating chain hits a hard object
with the area around the top quarter of the bar tip and is
suddenly stopped. The rotating chain will jam in the tip of the
bar.
The chain brake, in the event of a sufficiently strong kickback, is
automatically engaged by the force of inertia or can be applied by
the user.
Pull the brake lever (3) away from the front handle (4) with your left
hand. The chain brake audibly locks. The chain brake is on.
• Pull the brake lever (3) with your left hand towards the user. The
brake lever (3) audibly engages. The chain brake is now released.
• Switch on the saw.
• Engage the chain brake. If the saw chain stops immediately, the
chain brake is working properly.
• If the saw chain does not stop immediately, the chain brake is
defective. Do not use the saw and contact an authorized service
center.
CHAIN SAW WORK
ATTENTION! Never use a chain saw in rain or wet conditions.
WARNING! All parts should be properly installed and meet the
requirements for proper saw operation. Any damaged safety
element or part should be repaired or replaced immediately.
• Before commencing the intended work, read the section on safe
chain saw operation. It is recommended to first practice cutting
unnecessary pieces of wood. It also allows you to get to know the
saw's capabilities in more detail.
• Always follow the safety regulations.
• The chainsaw may only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden
to cut other materials with it.
• The intensity of vibrations and the phenomenon of recoil change
when cutting different types of trees.
• Do not use the chain saw as a lever to lift, move or separate
objects.
• If the chain is jammed, switch off the engine and insert a plastic or
wooden wedge into the wood to release the saw (fig. M). Restart
the machine and start cutting carefully again.
• It must not be attached to stationary positions.
• It is forbidden to connect other devices to the drive that are not
specified by the manufacturer of the saw.
• There is no need to apply great pressure to the saw when cutting.
Only a small amount of pressure needs to be applied.
ATTENTION! If the saw is jammed in the cut during cutting, it
must not be pulled out by force. This may result in loss of
control of the saw and injury to the operator and / or damage
to the saw.
