Always slacken off the chain again after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it
cools down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the crankshaft and
bearings.
Short-term storage
Wait for engine to cool down. Keep the
machine with a full tank of fuel in a dry
place, well away from sources of
ignition, until you need it again.
Long-term storage
See "Storing the machine"
Adjustable flow oil pump is a special
option.
Different quantities of oil are required for
different bar lengths, types of wood and
cutting techniques.
Use the adjusting screw (1) (on
underside of machine) to vary the oil
feed rate as required.
Ematic position (E), medium oil flow rate
–
N turn the adjusting screw to "E"
(Ematic position).
To increase oil feed –
N turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
Turn reduce oil feed –
N turn the adjusting screw
counterclockwise.
The chain must always be wetted with a
film of lubricant.
N Turn the bar over – every time you
sharpen the chain and every time
you replace the chain – this helps
avoid one-sided wear, especially at
the nose and underside of the bar.
N Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and the bar
groove (3).
N Measure the groove depth – with the
scale on the filing gauge (special
accessory) – in the area used most
for cutting.
