case do not tighten the chain immediately after use, but wait until it cools down.

In cases where the loosened chain needs to be adjusted, always unscrew the bar retaining nuts / knob before

adjusting the chain tensioning screw/knob ; adjust the tension and tighten the bar retaining nuts /knob

accordingly.

E. START-UP AND ARREST

1,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13

Start-up: grip both handles firmly, release the chain

brake lever, press and maintain the switch block

pressed in, then press the switch (at this point the

switch block can be released).

Arrest: The machine will stop whenever the switch is

released. In the case where the machine does not

stop, activate the chain brake, disconnect the cable

from the main line socket and take the machine to the

Authorised Service Centre.

F. BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

3,6,7,8,9,12

ATTENTION! Insufficient lubrication will provoke

chain breaking and can cause serious and even

mortal injury.

Bar and chain lubrication is performed by an

automatic pump. If your machine is equipped with an

oil pump adjustment knob (optional) the chain

lubrication can be adjusted as shown in the

illustration (fig.1), according to the type of cutting

operation in hand (dry wood – more oil, green wood -

less oil, long bar- more oil, short bar - less oil).

Take great care to ensure that the chain is always

sufficiently lubricated by never closing the pump

completely. Refer to “Maintenance” for indications on

ensuring that the chain oil is sufficiently distributed.

Choice of chain oil

Always use new oil only (special type for chains) with

adequate viscosity: the oil must adhere well and

guarantee good running properties in both winter and

summer. If chain oil is not available, EP 90

transmission oil can be used.

Never use waste oil because this is this harmful to

health, the machine and the environment. Make sure that

the oil is suitable for the temperature of the environment

where the tool will be used: For temperatures under 0°C

certain oils become denser, overloading the pump and

causing damage. Contact your Authorised Service

Centre for advice on oil choice.

Filling oil tank

Unscrew the oil tank cap, and fill the tank taking care

not to spill any oil (if this occurs clean the machine

carefully) (fig.2), and then screw the cap back on

tightly.

G. MAINTENANCE

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13

ATTENTION! In cases where work environments are

particularly dirty or dusty, the operations described

must be performed more frequently than mentioned

in the instructions.

Before each use

Control that the chain oil pump functions correctly:

direct the bar towards a clear surface at a distance of

about 20 centimetres; after the machine has run for

about a minute, the surface should show clear traces

of oil(fig.1).

Check that excessive strength is not needed for

activating and deactivating the chain brake. Also

check that it is not activated too easily and that it is

not blocked. Then check chain brake function as

follows: release the chain brake, grip the machine

correctly and start up the machine, activate the chain

brake by pushing the front hand guard forward with

the left wrist or arm but without removing the hand

from the handle(fig.2). If the chain brake is working

correctly, the chain should be blocked immediately.
