Before you start
Assemble the guide bar and saw chain before operation. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided
as a visual guide to easily assemble the product.
Assembly
You will need
(items not supplied)
Saw chain oil
(items supplied)
Saw chain
Guide bar cover
WARNING! Read all the instructions carefully! Do not
connect the product to the power supply until it is completely
assembled! Always wear gloves during assembly!
Chain and guide bar
Use only the guide bar (4) and>
saw chain (3) according to the
technical data of the product.
Place the product on a suitable>
at surface with the cover (9)
facing upwards.
Loosen the cover (9) by>
turning the locking wheel (7)
anticlockwise (Fig. 1, a) and
remove it.

Assembly
Align the guide bar (4) and saw chain (3) assembly with the >
drive sprocket (23) and bolt (21). Lay the saw chain around the
drive sprocket and then lower the guide bar to install it to the bolt
(Figs. 3, 4).

WARNING! Always use a saw chain designed as “low-
kickback” or a saw chain which meets the low-kickback
requirements! A standard saw chain (a chain which does
not have the kickback reducing guard links) should only
be used by an experienced professional operator!
Nevertheless, a low-kickback saw chain does not
completely eliminated kickback! A low-kickback or “safety”
chain should never be regarded as complete protection
against injury! Therefore always use a low-kickback saw
chain in conjunction with other kickback protection devices
such as the front guard/chain brake!

Before you start
Replace the cover (9) and>
slightly tighten the locking wheel
(7) (Fig. 5, b). Do not tighten
the locking wheel completely;
saw chain tensioning is required
rst.

NOTE: The saw chain (3) has not yet been tensioned.
Tension the chain as described under “Saw chain
tensioning”. After operating the product for approximately
1 hour, adjust the chain tension again.
Saw chain tensioning
Always check the saw chain tension before use, after rst cuts
and regularly during use, approximately every ve cuts. After
initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably. This is
normal during the break-in period and the interval between future
adjustments will lengthen quickly.
WARNING! Unplug the product from the power source
before adjusting the saw chain tension!
The cutting edges of the saw chain are sharp. Always
wear protective gloves when handling the chain!
Always maintain proper chain tension! A loose chain
increases the risk of kickback! A loose chain may jump out
of the guide bar groove! This may injure the operator and
damage the chain! A loose chain will cause rapid wear to
the chain, guide bar and sprocket!
Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload the motor and
cause damage, and insufcient tension can cause chain
derailing, whereas a correctly tightened chain provides
the best cutting characteristics and prolonged working life!
The chain life mainly depends upon sufcient lubrication
and correct tensioning!

Assembly
Set the product on a suitable at surface.>
Turn the tension wheel (8) until the chain >
“tie straps” are just touching the bottom
edge of the guide bar (4) (Fig. 6).
Check the chain tension using one hand>
to lift the saw chain (3) against the weight
of the product. The correct chain tension is
achieved when the saw chain can be lifted
by approximately 2 - 4 mm from the guide
bar (4) in the centre (Figs. 7, 8).

Lubrication
WARNING! The product is not lled with oil. It is essential
to ll the product with oil before using it! Never operate the
product without chain oil or with an empty oil tank, as this
will result in extensive damage to the product!
Never operate the bar and chain without lubrication oil!
Operating the product dry or with too little oil will decrease
cutting efciency, shorten the product life span and
cause rapid wear to the chain and bar from overheating!
Insufcient oil is evident by smoke or bar discoloration!
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain during cutting
operations is essential to minimise friction with the guide
bar. Your product is equipped with an automatic oiling
system! The oiling system automatically delivers the
proper amount of oil to the bar and chain!
Set the product on any suitable surface with the tank cap (14) >
facing upwards.
Unscrew and remove the tank >
cap (14), then add the lubricant
into the tank. Use a proper
funnel with a lter to prevent
debris entering the tank and to
avoid spilling and overlling the
tank. Do not overll and leave
approximately 5 mm of space
to the lower edge to allow the
lubricant to expand (Fig. 10).
5 mm
Fig. 10
NOTE: In summer use SAE #30; in winter, or if the trees
have excessive sap, use SAE #10.

Lubrication
Check the oil level window (19) >
prior to start-up and regularly
during operation. Rell oil when
the oil level is lower than “MIN”
marking (Fig. 11).
Wipe up spilled lubricant with a >
soft cloth and ret the tank cap
(14).

NOTE: Always dispose of lubricant, used oil and objects
contaminated with them in accordance with local
regulations.
