Mounting the chain (fig. B & C)
_ Place the machine on a stable underground.
_ Loosen the nuts (15) and remove them.
_ Remove the chain guard (16).
_ Place the chain (11) over the bar (10),
with the teeth pointing in the direction of rotation.
_ Tighten the chain so that a loop is created at the
back of the bar.
_ Place the bar with the chain on the machine.
Mount the chain over the driving wheel (17).
_ Place the slot (18) in the bar over the screw
threads (19).
_ Replace the chain guard.
_ Replace the nuts and tighten them securely.
_ Check if the chain is properly fitted around the bar.
_ Tension the chain. Do not over-tighten the chain.
Before mounting the chain
Checking and adjusting the chain tension
(fig. C & D)
The chain tension must be checked before
each use and after each 10 minutes of use.
_ Slightly raise the chain (11) from the bar (10).
The chain has the correct tension if it recoils when
you can pull it up 3 mm from the bar.
The chain should not sag between the bar and the
chain on the bottom side.
If the chain is not at the correct tension, proceed as
follows:
_ Slacken the nuts (15) a few threads.
_ Turn the set screw (20) to the right to increase the
tension.
_ Turn the set screw to the left to reduce the
tension.
_ Tighten the nuts.
always switch off the
machine.
Before checking and
adjusting the chain
tension, always switch
off the machine.
Activating the chain brake (fig. E)
The operation of the chain brake must be
checked before each use.
_ Push the guard (9) into the direction of the chain
(11) to activate the brake.
_ Push the guard (9) into the direction of the handle
(8) to deactivate the brake.
Instructions for use
_ Remove the protective cover from the saw
chain.
_ Hold the machine with both hands using both
grips. This ensures optimum control over the
machine.
_ Do not use the machine above shoulder height.
_ Only use the machine for working dry wood.
_ If you use this machine for the first time, it is
advisable to work on a saw horse.
_ Never start sawing before the machine is running
at full speed and the serrated fender touches the
wood.
_ Always make a new cut. Never use a previous cut
to proceed sawing.
Sawing blocks
_ If possible, always use a saw horse.
_ Always start a cut with the chain running
and the serrated fender against the wood.
_ Rotate the serrated fender against the wood to
complete a cut.
The way of sawing depends on the way the
block is being supported.
Full-length support (the block is on the ground):
_ Make a vertical cut downwards.
_ Make sure that you do not touch the ground.
Support at both ends (the block is on the saw
horse):
_ Make a vertical cut downwards to one
third of the longitudinal section.
_ Rotate the block and lay it on the saw horse with
the cut pointing downwards.
_ Make a second cut towards the first cut.
Support at one end (the block is on the saw horse):
_ Make a vertical cut downwards.
Sawing trees (fig. I & J)
_ Make a horizontal cut to one third of the diameter
of the trunk. Subsequently make a diagonal cut at a
45° angle from top to bottom so that a notch is
created.
_ Make a cut on the other side, but make sure that
you do not saw through the notch.
_ Place a wedge in the cut to make an opening and
drop the tree.
Starting the motor (fig. A)
_ Make sure that the stop switch (4) is in the upward
position.
_ Fully pull out the choke (6).
_ Press the accelerator (1) halfway.
_ Subsequently press the starter throttle (3).
The lock-off button (2) locks the accelerator.
_ Release the handle (7).
_ Pull gently on the start cord (5) until you
feel resistance.
_ Pull the start cord forcefully. Repeat this until the
motor is starting.
