Assembly And Preparation; Starting And Stopping Engine - Power Craft 68052 Instruction Manual

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Caution: the saw can vibrate very heavily, or kick
back when cutting with the end of the blade.
Ensure that you do not accidentally cut power or
telephone cables, and always make sure there are
no other people or animals in the vicinity when
starting or using the saw.
Remember that the engine noise can prevent you
from hearing other noises. Be aware of your
surroundings while using the saw.
Do not lift the saw from the item being cut if the
chain is still running. Caution: If the saw stops
with the blade in the item, it can pull the operator
forward.
Stop the engine immediately if engine problems
occur.
Stop the engine and remove the cable from the
spark plug before removing any trapped items
from the blade and before cleaning or
maintenance.
Never put the saw down before it has completely
stopped running. The chain will continue to run a
short time after you release the throttle lever.
A thick pair of work gloves can reduce vibrations
in your hands. Take a break of 10-20 minutes for
every 50 minutes work with the saw.
Always replace the protective sleeve on the blade
when transporting or storing the saw. Check for
fuel leaks during transport or storage.

Assembly and preparation

Fitting blade and chain
Push the protective shield (3) forward to activate
the chain lock.
Remove the lock nuts from the chain guard (a).
Remove guard.
Fit chain (2) on blade (1). Check that the chain
will run in the right direction. Check that the
chain tensioner (b) fits into its hole on the blade.
Turn the screw (16) if required until it does so.
ENGLISH
Fit chain around the sprocket, and check it is
fitted properly. Fit blade on guide bolt and chain
tensioner bolt.
Replace the chain guard and lock nuts.
Tightening the chain
Adjust chain tension by turning the chain
tensioner screw with a screwdriver. Turn the screw
clockwise to tighten the chain, and anticlockwise
to slacken. There should be 5 mm of play in the
chain when lifted from the blade.
Filling petrol
Remove the petrol filler cap (13) and fill tank with
petrol (unleaded petrol and two stroke oil at a
ratio of 25:1). Replace the cap and screw tightly.
Filling chain oil
Remove the oil filler cap (14) and fill tank with
chain oil. Replace the cap and screw tightly.
Automatic chain lubrication
Start the saw, and check that the automatic chain
lubrication is working (fresh oil appears on the
chain). If it is not, remove the chain and blade (see
above) and clean the oil feed hole (above the chain
tensioner). If this does not help, take the saw to an
authorised repair shop.
