2. Lift up the guide bar tip slightly. Use the other end
of the hex key wrench/blade screwdriver to turn the
chain adjusting screw clockwise to tighten, turn it
counterclockwise to loosen. A cold chain will be correctly
tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the
guide bar; the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand
without binding (Fig. 4).
3. Retighten the end cover nuts. Using a screwdriver, run the
chain along the guide to check that it moves smoothly.
Chain Lubricant
IMPORTANT! Only use a good quality bar and chain oil
designed specically for use with chain saws to ensure optimal
lubrication of the cutting parts. Do not use oil containing
impurities to avoid clogging the tank lter and permanently
damaging the oiler.
IMPORTANT! The chain lubricating oil is bio-degradable. The
use of mineral oil or engine oil can have a serious impact on
the environment. It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts eectively. Used or poor quality oil
does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan
of the chain and bar.
IMPORTANT! Before each use, the oil level should be checked
and topped up to 1 cm from the rim of the ller. To ll the oil
tank, remove the oil tank cap and add the recommended bar
and chain oil. The oil level must not drop below the bottom
level mark, as indicated beside the oil tank (Fig. 5).
Operation
Starting and Stopping
mCAUTION! Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric
motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great
deal of heat and damage the motor. To protect the life of your
cordless chain saw, always wait at least ve seconds after
stopping before restarting the saw.
mWARNING! Be sure that the chain is not in contact with
any object when you start the motor.
mWARNING! Keep hands away from chain. Keep hands
on handles. Do not overreach.
A good, rm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain control. Maintain a rm grip by place your right hand
on the rear handle and left hand on the front handle with
thumbs and ngers encircling the respective handles. A rm
grip combined with proper positioning of the handle against
your body will help you maintain control of the saw. Do not let
go of the saw while it is in operation.
mWARNING! Do not operate the cordless chain saw in
a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaold. Using the tool under such
circumstances is extremely dangerous.
mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning o the tool.
Do not use the chain saw under wet conditions. Use extreme
caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs under
tension because slender and tense material may catch the
saw and be whipped toward you, pull you o balance, or
spring back.
Do not use the chain saw to cut vines and/or small underbrush.
mWARNING! Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sucient to inict
serious injury.
