Warning! The vibration and noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used, in particular, what kind of work piece is machined. It is necessary to identify safety measured to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use ( taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time)

MAINTENANCE • Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply before setting the chain tension. Make sure the guide bar nut is loose enough to finger tighten, turn the chain tensioning screw (see figure 1 0 ) clockwise to tension the chain. Refer to Replacing the Bar and chain for additional information.

MAINTENANCE upper tip of the blade. Be prepared for some kickback when using this area of the blade or hitting another branch with this area. Always hold the unit firmly in both hands. Thin branches can be cut off with one single cut. To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling the branch should be cut off in several pieces.

Page 44
MAINTENANCE (See Figure 14- 17) HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles and to the same length, as fast cutting can be obtained only when all cutters are uniform. • Tighten the chain tension enough that the chain does not wobble. Do all of your filing at the midpoint of the bar.
