Operating the Chainsaw
Step 2 - Checking the oil supply
NOTE! With the chainsaw fully assembled and adjusted it is important to check the chain oil
supply is dispensing adequate lubrication.
Chain oil
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is being dispensed
as shown.
NOTE! The oil reservoir should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up. Be sure to refill
the oil reservoir every time when refueling the saw.
With the chainsaw switched off the chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in
the hole on the bottom of the side of the clutch. Increase or decrease the oil flow according to
your work conditions. Restart the chainsaw and check the rate of flow meets your requirements.
Step 3 - Check chain brake
This machine is equipped with a chain-brake that will immediately disable the chain upon the
occurrence of kickback during cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertia forces,
which act on the weight fitted inside the front guard. This brake can also be operated manually
with the front guard pushed forward to the guide bar. To disengage the chain-brake, pull it back
until it touches the front handle.

Important! Be sure to confirm brake operation every time you use the machine and periodically
during the period of use.
