MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

CLEANING/STORAGE
• Clean the moulded plastic housing of the
chain saw using a soft brush and clean
cloth.
• DO NOT use water, solvents or polishes.
• Remove all debris, especially from the
motor cooling vents.
• Remove and brush clean the cover plate,
chain and chain bar after 1 to 3 hours of
use.
• Clean the area under the cover plate, the
drive sprocket and chain bar assembly
using a soft brush.
• Clean oil outlet with a clean cloth.
• If the chain saw is to be stored for a longer
period of time, clean chain and chain bar.
• STORE IN A SECURE, DRY PLACE OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
• DO NOT place other objects on the chain
saw.
• To prevent oil leakage, ensure machine is
left in a horizontal position.
• When storing machine in original packaging
the oil tank must be completely emptied.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC
CHAIN LUBRICATION
Regularly check the functionality of the
automatic chain lubrication in order to prevent
overheating and the subsequent damage
to the chain bar and saw chain associated
with it. For this purpose, align the chain bar
tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in
of a tree) and allow the chain saw to run.
If an increasing amount of oil appears, the
automatic chain lubrication functions properly.
LUBRICATE SPROCKET
WARNING!
Wear heavy duty gloves when performing any
maintenance or service to this tool.
Always unplug the tool before performing any
service or maintenance on this tool.
ON/OFF SWITCH

1. Clean the bar and sprocket.
2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the
gun into the lubrication hole and inject
grease until it appears at the outside edge
of the sprocket tip (Fig. 15).
3. To rotate the sprocket release the chain
stop and pull the chain by hand until the
ungreased side of the sprocket is in line
with the grease hole. Repeat the lubrication
procedure.
SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN
WARNING!
Unplug chain saw from power source before
servicing. Severe injury or death could occur
from electrical shock or body contact with
moving chain. Cutting edges on chain are
sharp. Use protective gloves when handling
chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster
and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue
sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear.
If you must force chain into wood and cutting
creates only sawdust with a few large chips,
then chain is dull.
Purchase a new chain, have your chain
sharpened professionally at a qualified
service center, or sharpen the chain
yourself using a proper sharpening kit. The
height difference between the cutting tip and
the ridge is the depth gauge setting (Fig. 16).
When you sharpen the cutting tip, the depth
gauge setting between the tip and the side
plate ridge will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance, the ridge has to be filed
down to achieve the recommended depth
gauge setting.
