Sharpening your chain and
adjusting raker clearance
A. General information on sharpening
cutting teeth
* Nexer use a bIunt chain. When lhe chrdn is blunt you have
to (_e_ rno_ p_?ssure to force the bar lhrough the wood

it will not produce any cm:tings a all just wood powden
A shaq) chain eats ils way through the wood a_d produces
long, lhick cutiings.
The curling part of the
chain ks called lhe
CUTTING LINK and
this consists of a
CUT'IING TOOTH
(A) and the RAKER LIP
(B). The curling depfli is
determined by the
difference in height
between the two.

Lubricating cutting equipment
A. Chain oil
• Chainsaw chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the
chain m_d also narintain tls flow caracterkstics regardlexs of
whethar it is warm SUTI1TIleI'Orcold winter weather.
• As a chainsaw rNanufactu*'(_r we have dexeloped an optimal
chain oil which with tla vegetN)le oil base ks also
biodegg'add_ie. We recommend the use of our own oil for
both m_lmum chain life and to minimkse environmental
dare.e,
• If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil ks
recommended.
• In areas where oil specifically for Iubrieaiion oFsaw chains is
unavailable, ordina W EP 90 trm_smLssionoiI mW be used,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine is only designed for tree pruning.
The only accessories to be used with the engine
unit as a drive source are the cutting units we
recommend in the chapter "Technical data%
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking
medicines that can affect your sight, your
judgement or the control of your body.
Use personal protective equipment. See the
section "Personal protective equipment%
Never use a machine that has been modified so
