With the saw on a fi rm surface, check the saw chain (5)
tension. The tension is correct when the saw chain snaps
back after being pulled 3mm away from the guide bar (4)
with light force from the middle fi nger and thumb as shown
in fi gure D.
To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar adjust lock-
ing knob (8), rotate the saw chain tensioning wheel (7)
towards the top of the saw to increase tension as shown
in fi gure E. Tighten the bar adjust locking knob until snug
after making sure the saw chain (5) is snug around the
guide bar (4).
There should be no "sag" between the guide bar and the
saw chain on the underside as shown in fi gure F.
Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar adjust lock-
ing knob.
Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar and saw
chain.
When the saw chain is new, check the tension frequently
(after unplugging tool) during the fi rst 2 hours of use as a
new saw chain stretches slightly.
Replacing the saw chain
Warning! Sharp saw chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the saw chain. The saw chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is not running.
Warning! Sharp moving saw chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that the tool is unplugged before performing
the following operations. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
Rotate the bar adjust locking knob (8) counterclockwise to
lessen saw chain tension.
Remove chain cover assembly (6) as described in "Install-
ing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain" section.
Lift the worn saw chain (5) out of the groove in the guide
bar (4).
Place the new saw chain in the slot of the guide bar, mak-
ing sure the saw teeth are facing the correct direction by
matching the arrow on the saw chain with the graphic on
the chain cover assembly (6) shown in fi gure G.
Follow previous instructions for Installing the Guide Bar
and Saw Chain and adjusting saw chain tension.
Auto oiling system
This chainsaw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
The oil level indicator (13) shows the level of the oil in the
chainsaw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, unplug the
chainsaw and refi ll with the proper oil.
Mineral oil is not recommended because it may harm trees.
Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage
your chainsaw.
Note: Use a high quality bar and saw chain oil for proper
saw chain bar lubrifi cation. As a temporarily substitute, a
non-detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use
of a vegetable based bar and saw oil is recommended when
pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended because it may
harm trees. Never use waste oil or very think oil. These may
damage your chainsaw.
Filling the oil reservoir
Remove the oil cap (12) and fi ll the reservoir with the
recommended saw chain oil until the oil level has reached
the top of the oil level indicator (13).
Refi t the oil cap.
Periodically switch the chainsaw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and saw chain are being
properly oiled.
Attaching extension cord
An extension cord retainer (11) is built into the switch handle.
It prevents the extention cord from coming unplugged.
Double the extension cord and insert it into the slot (21) in
the end of the handle area as shown in fi gure H. Hook the
loop formed by doubling the cord over the cord retainer
(11). Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it is fi rmly
retained in the handle. Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the power cord (10) of the chainsaw.
Transporting saw
Always cover the guide bar (4) with the guide bar cover (9)
(fi gure J) when transporting the saw.
Whenever the unit is not being used the front hand guard
(3) should be pushed forward which isolates the unit. User
should not move anywhere with this activated.
Operating the chainsaw
Warning! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious personal injury.
Switching on and off
To turn the tool ON, depress the lock off button (2) and
squeeze the trigger switch (1) as shown in fi gure H. (Once
the tool is running you can release the lock off button.)
To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger switch.
Note: It will not be possible to switch the tool on if the front
hand guard (3) is not in the "set" position.
How to set the front hand guard
Make sure that the tool is disconnected from the mains
supply.
Pull the front hand guard (3) back into the "set" position.
The tool is now ready to use.
