Saw chain:
Check the tension of the saw and the condition of the saw. The sharper the saw chain is, the easier and
more manageable operations will be. The same applies to chain tension. Check the tension every 10
minutes of operation to maximise safety. New saw chains in particular are subject to changes due to the
heat created by operation.
Safety equipment and protective clothing:
Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate close-fitting protective clothing such as protective pants,
gloves and safety shoes. Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing protection and a face guard to
provide protection against falling and recoiling branches. Do secure long hair so that it is above shoulder
level. Use the following safety clothing and protective equipment when operating the product:
- Helmet with visor and neck guard
- Hearing protectors
- Breathing mask
- Gloves with approved saw protection
- Protective leggings with approved saw protection
- Steel toe cap boots with approved saw protection
- First aid kit in case of injury.
Filling the auto oil system : illustrations 3.3 and 3.4
CAUTION! The chain saw is NOT supplied filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product. Chain life and cutting capacity depends on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the
chain is automatically oiled during operation via the oil outlet. This chain saw features an auto-oiling
system to keep the chain and guide bar properly lubricated. The oil level indicator shows the remaining
oil in the chainsaw. If the oil level decreases to below one quarter capacity, refill it with the proper bar
and chain oil. To fill the oil reservoir:
1. Remove the oil cap. Fill the reservoir with bar and chain oil until the oil level has reached full capacity.
2. Put the oil cap back on. Make sure to check the oil level after every 10 minutes of use. Unplug the
chain saw before checking oil levels or filling the oil reservoir.
CAUTION ! To prevent oil leakage, ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (oil filler cap upright) when not in use.
Use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the
chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil.
