English – 7 ! 5 Vibration damping system Your chain saw is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimise vibrations and make operation easier. When you use a chain saw vibrations are generated by the uneven contact between the chain and the wood you are cutting. Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibrati[...]

English – 13 ! C General advice on setting raker clearance • When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the RAKER CLEARANCE (cutting depth). To maintain cutting performance you must file back the raker teeth to the recommended height. See the ”Technical data” section to find the raker clearance for your saw chain. • On a low-kickback c[...]

14 – English 1 Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover and chain brake, using the combination spanner.

English – 15 C Checking chain lubrication • Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim the tip of the saw at a light coloured surface about 20 cm away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. If the chain lubrication is not working: 1 Check that the oil channel in the bar is [...]

16 – English H Bar Check regularly: • Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a file if necessary. • Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn. Replace the bar if necessary. • Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on one side of the bar tip this is due to a slack chain. ?[...]

English – 17 ! 6 Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain tries to push the saw back towards the user. Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a risk that the saw will move so far backwards that only the kickbac[...]

18 – English SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1 Chain saws are designed solely for cutting wood. The only cutting equipment that can be used with this chain saw are the combinations of bars and chains recommended in the ”Technical data” section. 2 Never use a chain saw if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are t[...]
