Keep the chain clean. The chain must be sharpened and lubricated. This will ensure more effi cient and safer work. The chain can
be sharpened in a specialised service centre. Check the condition of the chain before each use. In the event of cracks, broken
teeth, or any other damage, replace the chain with a new one before starting work.
In case of fi nding any damaged or broken chainsaw parts, stop working or do not start working. It is essential to replace damaged
parts before starting work.
Use the chainsaw as intended. The chainsaw is designed only for cutting wood. When working, watch out for metal elements or
stones that may be in the processed wood.
Use original spare parts only. Failure to use original spare parts may increase the risk of failure and lead to injuries.
The chainsaw should be repaired only in service centres authorised by the manufacturer using original spare parts. This will
minimise the risk of accidents and damage to the equipment.

PRODUCT OPERATION

Preparing the chainsaw for operation
Caution! Unplug the chainsaw from the power supply before performing any assembly and adjustment work. Disconnect the
mains-powered chainsaws from the socket. In the case of the battery-powered chainsaws, disconnect their battery.
Mount the guide bar and cutting chain before fi rst use.
Due to the sharp edges of the chain, perform the assembly wearing protective gloves.
Unscrew the locking knob or nut so that the entire side panel can be removed.
Turn the chain tension knob so that the guide bar is in the maximum back position — this will facilitate the chain installation.
Mount the guide bar and chain as shown in the picture (II).
Make sure that the chain and guide bar are fi tted in the correct direction. The shape and direction of the links visible on the chain-
saw housing should correspond to the chain's shape and direction. If there is a visible movement direction indication on the chain
links, it should have the same direction as the indication on the housing and guide bar.
Do not tension the chain yet, but make sure that the chain fi ts the guide bar slot and the teeth on the drive wheel. Mount the side
panel and tighten the locking knob. However, do it so as not to block the possibility of the guide bar movement. Adjust the chain
tension by turning the chain tension knob. Tighten the locking knob. Check the chain tension. To do this, set the chainsaw down
and lift it by holding the middle part of the chain (III). During this test, the chain should lift above guide bar by 3 to 4 mm in the spot
where it is held. If the chain is tightened too tight or too loose, loosen the locking knob a little and reset the chain tension. The chain
tension should also be checked every 10 minutes of operation.
Check the technical condition of the chainsaw before connecting it to the power supply. If any damage is detected, it is forbidden
to connect it to the power supply before removing the damage.
In case the chainsaw must be powered with one-phase alternating current with voltage 230 V and frequency 50 Hz, the mains
socket powering the chainsaw should be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter with a tripping current 30 mA or less.
Oil topping-up (IV)
Caution! Unplug the chainsaw from the power supply before performing any assembly and adjustment work. Disconnect the
mains-powered chainsaws from the socket. In the case of the battery-powered chainsaws, disconnect their battery.
For lubricating the chain and chainsaw mechanisms, use only oil intended for such purposes. It is forbidden to use worn-out motor
oil. It does not fulfi l its purpose, which can lead to damage to the chainsaw mechanism.
Make sure that there is lubricating oil in the tank. Place the chainsaw on the horizontal surface and check the oil indicator. The oil
level cannot be lower than the minimum indication. If there is no such indicator, the lower edge of the oil level indicator should be
taken as the reference level.
It is forbidden to use the chainsaw with the empty oil tank. This can damage the chain, guide bar, and mechanisms of the chain-
saw. It is recommended to start and operate the chainsaw at least 3 meters from the place where the oil topping-up procedure was
performed. Perform oil topping-up away from fi re and heat sources.
To top up the oil, unscrew the oil tank cap, pour the oil inside the tank so the oil level levels out with a mark indicating the maximum
oil level or upper edge of the oil level indicator, then screw the tank cap fi rmly and securely. In case of spilling the oil, thoroughly
wash off any debris before connecting the chainsaw to the power supply.
Preparing the workplace
Before cutting with the chainsaw, properly prepare the workplace to minimise the risks associated with the chainsaw's operation.
Make sure that only authorised persons are present at the workplace.
In the case of tree felling, danger zones and escape routes should be designated. A zone with a radius of 180 around the planned
O
tree fall plane and a zone with a radius of 90 O in the opposite direction to the planned tree fall plane are treated as danger zones.
The remaining zones form escape routes (V). Remember that a falling tree can also overturn other trees. Therefore, the next
workstation must not be closer than 2,5 x the height of the felled tree (VI).
Ensure good visibility from the workplace; that is why take special care when cutting trees in diffi cult terrain conditions, e.g.,
mountains.
