ENGINE WON'T START
If the engine won't start after you have operated the starter several times when cold or hot, the engine may
be flooded with excess fuel. Use the following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine.
1. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
2. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated tighten 1/8 to 1/4
turn with socket spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.
3. Run through the engine starting procedure as described previously.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle trigger, allowing the engine to idle.
2. Switch the On/Off switch to the '0' position.
CHECKING CHAIN OIL SUPPLY
After starting the engine, release the chain brake and run the chain at medium speed. A correct operation of
the automatic oiler can be checked by running the chainsaw and pointing the tip of the chain bar, towards a
piece of cardboard or paper positioned on the ground.
CAUTION: Do not touch the ground with the chain. Ensure safety clearance of 20cm minimum . If an
increasing oil pattern appears, the automatic oiler is operating correctly.
1. The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in the hole on bottom of the clutch side of
the base of the machine.
2. Adjust according to your work conditions.
Turn the shaft anti-clockwise – Increase flow.
•
Turn the shaft clockwise – Decrease flow.

CHECKING CLUTCH FUNCTIONALITY
Before each use, check and confirm that the saw chain does not rotate when the machine is at idle speed.
IS THE CHAIN TENSION IN ORDER AND THE CHAIN SHARP?
Check a new chain's tension, every 10 minutes during initial operation. During the first uses, a new chain can
lengthen considerably. The condition of the chain influences the cutting performance of the machine. Only a
sharp chain protects the chainsaw from overload.
