NOTICE
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"
Different quantities of oil are required for
different bar lengths, types of wood and
cutting techniques.
N Use the adjusting screw (1) (on
underside of machine) to vary the oil
feed rate as required.
N Ematic position (E), medium oil feed
rate – turn the adjusting screw to "E"
(Ematic position).
N Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
to increase oil feed rate.
N Turn the adjusting screw
counterclockwise to reduce oil feed
rate.
When using as rescue saw:
N Turn the adjusting screw (on
underside of machine) clockwise as
far as stop to obtain maximum oil
feed rate.
NOTICE
Your chain must always be wetted with a
film of lubricant.
N Turn the guide 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.
