the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for
the saw chain to stop before you

regularly and before each use:
1/3
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged or damaged chain and
guide bar, loose fixings and worn or damaged components. Inspect the switch and cord
for damage. Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly fitted.
WARNING:
DO NOT use the Chain Saw if it has any broken parts.
!
ALWAYS have damaged, missing, worn or broken parts replaced before using.
NOTE: WHEN SERVICING a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using the chain saw. If the chain saw

Before returning, ensure all oil in the oil tank has been emptied.

Replacing /Changing Chain And Guide Bar
Fit the chain and guide bar as described in "Assembly and Tensioning Chain",
(See pages 16 and 17). The circular groove of the guide bar will wear particularly on the
lower edge with time. When replacing the chain turn the chain bar 180° to allow even wear,
thus extending chain bar life.
Check Drive Sprocket. If it is worn out or damaged due to strain,
have it exchanged by an authorized service dealer.
If The Chain Bar Is Worn Out Or Damaged,
take the chain tensioning catch off the bar by loosing
the screw counter-clockwise. Then fit the tensioning
catch into the new bar by tightening the screw clockwise.
The catch protrude (1) must be fitted into the bar hole.
(See Fig. 23)
Sharpening Chain. Have your chain sharpened
professionally at your approved service dealer or
repair center or sharpen the chain yourself using
the sharpening kit. Follow the sharpening instructions
supplied with the sharpening kit.
