OPERATE

Chain Tension

1. Loosen tension wheel (5) before adjusting chain.

2. Turn the adjusting wheel (6) until slack is out of chain.

3. Wearing protective gloves, pull down on chain to check

chain tension

4. Do not over-tension chain. Over-tensioning will cause

excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain. Over-tensioning also reduces the amount of cuts per battery charge.

5. After chain tension is correct, tighten tension wheel (5) ﬁrmly.

Important!

It is very important to adjust the chain tension if the chain is loose. Check that if the chain is loose in every 10mins.

Tighten

Loosen

NOTE! When tensioned correctly it should be possible to pull one full chain link free of the bar channel with ease.

- A new chain will expand its length during the ﬁrst period of use. Check and re-adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar.

CAUTION! If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TIGHT the V-drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Above Fig. shows the correct tension A (when cold) and tension B (when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.

Pruning

Warning! Always turn off the motor before laying down the machine! Risk of recoil! Recoil is caused by wood or other rm objects coming into contact with the top side or the tip of the saw rail. This may cause the machine to be thrown back with force at the operator, which may cause serious injuries.

Warning! Danger of injury! Dangerous recoil may occur during the operation of the machine! This may cause serious injuries or death!

Make absolutely sure that no wood or other rm objects can come into contact with the area shown in the diagram on the right.

Only if you work carefully and properly can you reliably reduce the risk of recoil!

Pull sawing

This technique involves sawing with the bottom side of the saw rail from top to bottom. The sawing chain pushes the machine forward away from the operator. The front edge of the machine forms a support rest absorbing the forces caused by sawing into a tree trunk.

Pull sawing allows the operator to exercise much more control over the machine and to prevent it from recoiling. This is why you should make pull sawing the sawing technique of your choice.

28 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 0345 605 2067

OPERATE

Push sawing

This technique involves sawing with the top side of the saw rail from bottom to top. The sawing chain pushes the machine backward toward the operator. If the saw rail becomes jammed, the machine may be thrown back toward the operator with great force.

If the operator is unable to counterbalance the backward pushing force of the sawing chain by his own body weight, only the tip of the sawing chain may be in contact with the wood, which may cause a recoil.

Tree cutting

Note! Always work on the opposite side of the branch you want to cut down. Always start at the bottom of the trunk and work your way up.

When removing larger branches, ﬁrst cut the branch from below (1).

Then cut through from above (2), and ﬁnally cut off the remaining branch (3).

Danger of injury. Branches that rest against a surface or are under tension may cause the sawing chain to become jammed in the wood!

Saw Chain Tension Adjustment

1. Loosen tension wheel (5) before adjusting chain.

2. Turn the adjusting wheel (6) until slack is out of chain.

3. Wearing protective gloves, pull down on chain to check chain tension

4. Do not over-tension chain. Over-tensioning will cause excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain. Over-tensioning also reduces the amount of cuts per battery charge.

MAINTENANCE

5. After chain tension is correct, tighten tension wheel (5) ﬁrmly.

NOTE! When tensioned correctly it should be possible to pull one full chain link free of the bar channel with ease.

- A new chain will expand its length during the ﬁrst period of use. Check and re-adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar.

Care of Guide Bar

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove. This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance

1. Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear.

2. The bar rail should always have parallel internal faces (see

32 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 0345 605 2067

MAINTENANCE

diagram). Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.

Sharpening Saw 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 few large chips, chain is dull.

Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1. Make sure the saw is held securely.

2. Make sure the battery is taken off.

3. Adjust chain for proper tension.

4. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady. (Note: Do not clamp chain.)

5. Press 5/32” round ﬁ le (attached to ﬁ le guide) into groove between top plate and depth gauge on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate and depth gauge. (Note: File at midpoint of guide bar.)

Note:

This illustration shows le guide placement and ling direction for sharpening cutters on leftside of chain.

6. Hold ﬁle guide level. Make sure 30° mark on ﬁle guide is parallel to center of guide bar. This will insure that you ﬁle cutters at 30° angle.

7. File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only ﬁle in this one direction. (Note: Two or three strokes with ﬁle should sharpen cutter.)

MAINTENANCE

Filing Cutter Depth Gauges

The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters are sharpened. After every second or third sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges.

1. Place depth gauge tool (.025”) ﬁrmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool.

2. Use medium ﬂat ﬁle. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.

3. Remove depth gauge tool. With ﬂat ﬁle, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge.

After several hand ﬁlings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even ﬁling.

Cleaning the bar and saw

WARNING!

and close to it! Use appropriate tools to remove debris, e.g. a brush or wooden stick! Never use your bare hands!

Always use original spare parts for replacement.

i. Keep the bar and chain clean and free of debris. Remove debris.

ii. Apply a small amount of suitable lubricant, like gear grease, on the cutting device to retain a good cutting performance.
