9.3 Chain oil
9.3.1 Chain and bar lubrication
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using our chain
& bar oil (check our oil assortment). To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, only use the original
style bar with the oil passage hole (A) as illustrated above (Fig. 3a). Always use good quality
sprocket oil, which contains additives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention
of pitch formation on the bar and chain.
9.3.2 Filling with chain oil
Warning: be careful not to spill any oil. Thoroughly clean away any spilled
chain oil, even if bio-degradable chain oil is used. Be aware of slipping
hazards!
▪ Clean the area around the chain oil reservoir, and remove all wood dust and dirt.
▪ Open the chain oil reservoir cap by turning it anticlockwise.
▪ Fill with special chain oil. Do not overfill.
▪ Immediately refit the chain oil reservoir cap, and close by turning it clockwise until hand
tight and sealed.
10 OPERATION
10.1 Engine pre start checks (Fig. 8)
WARNING: Never start or operate the saw unless the bar and chain are
properly installed.
▪ Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture.
▪ Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and bar oil.
▪ Be certain the chain brake (C) is disengaged before starting unit.
10.2 To start engine
▪ To start the saw, push the engine switch (ON/OFF switch) to the ON (I) position (Fig. 9a).
▪ Pull out the choke (A) to the point where it latches in place (Fig. 9b).
▪ Press primer bulb 3 to 5 times.
▪ Place the saw on a firm and level surface. Hold the saw securely with your foot as
illustrated. Tug sharply on the starter 2 times. Watch the chain in case it runs (Fig. 9c).
▪ When engine turns, choke will automatically switch off (Fig. 9d).
▪ Let the engine run for 10 seconds to warm up. Press the trigger (H) and put it into idle
(Fig. 9e).
If the engine does not start up, repeat the above steps.
10.3 Re-starting a warm engine
▪ Make sure the on/off switch is in the “I” position.
▪ Pull the starter rope rapidly 2 times. The engine should start.
