Preparation For Cutting - Ego Power+ PH1400 Guide D'utilisation

◾ ◾
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when it is not in use. To prevent seepage,
empty the oil tank after each use, and then run the saw for one minute. When
storing the tool for a long period of time, be sure the chain is lightly lubricated;
this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
◾ ◾
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult
your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and
disposal options.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See "STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD" section in the power head PH1400

PREPARATION FOR CUTTING

(Fig. 5)
Refer to "Important Safety Instructions"
earlier in this manual for appropriate
safety equipment.
◾ ◾
Make sure that the chain is properly
mounted and correctly tensioned.
◾ ◾
Lift the tip of the guide bar to check
for any sagging in the chain. The
chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide
bar and the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding. If the
tension requires adjustment, refer to the "REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN"
section in the Maintenance section of this manual for adjustment instructions.
◾ ◾
Check the tension of the cover screw before use. If it is loose, securely tighten the
cover screw by turning it clockwise.
◾ ◾
Check the oil level and fill the tank as needed.
◾ ◾
Check the sharpness of the cutting teeth on the saw chain.
◾ ◾
Make sure the chain is well lubricated.
◾ ◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
◾ ◾
Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Hold the unit
firmly with both hands.
