MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Routine Maintenance
WARNING
For your safety and that of others:
• After each use, remove the battery from its compartment and check for damage.
• Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the original efficiency and safety of the machine over time.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are to be replaced and never repaired.
WARNING
During maintenance, remove the battery from its compartment.
• Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Keep the bar protection devices on, except when intervening directly on the bar or chain.
• Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in unauthorised places.
Motor Cooling
To avoid overheating and damage to the motor, always keep the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.
Chain Break
Regularly check the efficiency of the chain brake.
Chain Catcher Device
This device, built into the casing, is an important safety device that restrains uncontrolled movements of the chain if it
breaks or slackens.
Nuts and Screws
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely tightened and the hand-grips are tightly fastened.
Sharpening The Chain
WARNING
To ensure that the chainsaw works safely and efficiently, it is essential that the cutting components are well-sharpened. Any
work on the chain and bar require specific experience and special tools. For safety purposes we recommend you contact
your Bushranger dealer to ensure work is done correctly.
®
Sharpening is necessary when:
• The sawdust looks like dust;
• Cutting becomes more difficult;
• The cut is not straight;
• Vibrations increase.
