Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. C and E)

 Check the saw chain tension. The tension is correct

when the saw chain (8) snaps back after being pulled

away 3 mm from the guide bar (9) with light force from

the middle finger and thumb. There should be no ‘sag’

between the guide bar (9) and the saw chain (8) on the

underside.

To adjust the tension:

 Loosen the 2 Allen screws (14).

 Turn the chain tension adjustment screw (7) clockwise.

Warning! Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to

excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar and chain.

 Once the chain tension is correct, tighten the 2 Allen

screws (14).

Warning! When the saw chain is new, check the tension

frequently during the first two hours of use as a new saw

chain stretches slightly.

Filling the oil reservoir (fig. G)



Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir (4) with the

recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the

oil reservoir (4). Refit the oil cap (3).

 Periodically switch off and check the oil level; if it is less

than a quarter full, remove the battery (10) from the tool

and ref

ill the reservoir (4) with the correct oil.

Oiling the chain (fig. G)

The saw chain (8) must be oiled before each use and after

cleaning using only the correct grade of oil (cat. no. A6027).

 Lubricate the saw chain (8) by pressing the bulb on the

oil cap (3) twice before making each cut, holding the

bulb down for 3-4 seconds.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which

may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These

risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.

Even wi

th the application of the relevant safety regulations

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual

risks cannot be avoided. These include:



Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.



Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or

accessories.

 Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using

any tool for prolonged periods make sure you take

regular breaks.

 Impairment of hearing.

 Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed

when using your tool (example:- working with wood,

especially oak, beech and MDF).

Use

Switching on and off (fig. G)

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace, Do not overload.

For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching

system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.

Switching on

 Press the lock-off button (2) and at the same time

squeeze the on/off switch (1).

 Release the lock-off button (2).

Switching off



Release the on/off switch (1).

Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.

Pruning trees (fig. H)

Make sur

e that there are no local by-laws or regulations that

would prohibit or control the pruning of the tree limbs.

Pruning should only be undertaken by experienced users

there is an increased risk of the saw chain (8) pinching and

kickback.

Before pruning consideration should be given to conditions

affecting the direction of fall including:



The length and weight of the branch to be cut.



Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.

 Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead.

 The wind speed and direction.

 The branch being intertwined with other branches.

The operator should consider access to the tree limb and the

direction of fall. The tree branch is liable to swing towards the

tree trunk. In addition to the user bystanders, objects and

property below the branch will be at risk.

To avoid splintering, the first cut is made in an upward

direction to a maximum depth of one third the diameter of the

branch. The second cut is made downwards to meet the first.

Light duty cutting (fig. I)

How you should cut depends on how the log is supported.

Use a s

aw horse whenever possible. Always start a cut with

the saw chain (8) running and the spiked bumper in contact

with the wood. To complete the cut, use a pivoting action of

the spiked bumper against the wood.

When supported along its whole length:

 Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this

will blunt your saw chain quickly.

When supported at both ends:

 First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and

second, cut again to meet the first cut,

When supported at one end:
