OIL FILLING AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The saw chain is automatically lubricated during
use by a pump which normally requires no
maintenance. The oil flow is pre-regulated by the
manufacturer to ensure a sufficient oil delivery
even under heavy working conditions. During
cutting of thin timber a possible oil dripping is
normal.
- Always wipe off around the filler hole before
unscrewing the cap (13, Fig. 2) so that no dirt
enters the oil reservoir.
- During work watch the oil level.
- After the filling, operate the motor 2 or 3 times
to restore correct oil delivery.
- In case of faults do not try to repair the
machine yourself, but apply to your authorized
dealer.
Correct chain lubrication during the cutting
phase reduces wear to a minimum between the
chain and bar thus prolonging life. Always use a
good quality oil.
WARNING - Never use waste oil.
Always use biodegradable lubricant (eco-
lube Oleo-Mac/Efco) which is specific for bar
and chain and also respectful towards nature,
operator health and chain saw's parts.
Before starting make sure the chain is not
obstructed.
When the engine is idling the chain
must not turn. Otherwise contact an
Authorized Service Center to carry out a check
and fix the problem.
When the chainsaw is running, grip the
front handle firmly with your left hand
and the back handle with your right hand
(Fig. 11).
- Do not lean forward and do not cut above
shoulder height; gripping the chain saw at the
top of the handle makes it difficult to control
and counteract kickback.
- Check that all parts of the body are kept
away from the chain and muffler.
- L e f t - h a n d e r s s h o u l d f o l l o w t h e s e
instructions too. Keep a proper cutting
stance.
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms such numbness, lack of
feeling, reduction in normal strength, changes
in the color of the skin. These symptoms
normally appear in the fingers, hands or
wrists.
Engine is Flooded

come loose and cause personal injuries.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The chain brake must be engaged when
starting the saw. Set the chain brake by
pushing the chain brake lever / hand guard
forward (towards the bar), to the brake
position (Fig. 12). Fill the carburetor by pushing
