Before you start
Filling the chain oiler reservoir
Adjusting oil flow rate
Adjusting the balance
Adjusting the shoulder harness
4.
Pull the chain by hand along the top of the guide bar several
times from the motor to the bar's tip. The chain should feel
snug but still pull freely.
5.
Tighten the sprocket cover nut securely while lifting the tip of
the guide bar.
IMPORTANT
Do not over-tighten sprocket cover nut. Damage may result.
6.
Inspect the chain for the correct adjustment (more frequently
with a new chain). The chain should feel snug but still pull
freely.
1.
Place the unit on a clean, flat surface with the oil filler cap (A)
facing up. Wipe off any debris from the oil cap and from
around the oil filler neck.
2.
Remove the oil filler cap and fill the reservoir with bar and
chain oil, then replace the cap.
3.
Wipe up any spilled oil from the unit before restarting the
product.
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consump-
tion, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reservoir
(A).
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump
that operates whenever the chain rotates.
The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but
it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is
often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a
lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1.
Turn power to unit off, remove battery.
2.
Place the product on its side with the oil reservoir up.
3.
Using a screwdriver, turn the oil flow rate adjustment screw
(B) in the desired direction:
clockwise–decrease lubrication.
anticlockwise–increase lubrication.
1.
Hook the strap hook to the hanger on the outer tube.
2.
Wear the shoulder strap so that the hook stays at your right
hand side.
3.
Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that you can hold
and operate the machine comfortably.
IMPORTANT
Make sure all hooks and adjustment devices are secure.
