If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft

damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like

alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.

Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

Turn the bar periodically to use both the sides so that

it wears evenly.

It is essential that motor cooling vents are kept free

from a build-up of sawdust and this decreases the

engines tools cooling capacity and causes overheating

damage to the motor as well as other important

equipment, oil pump etc. It is recommended that this is

carried out after every use.

Clean the guide and oil holes periodically.

Deburr the race sides periodically with a flat file. Time

may cause any “Burrs” to detach and damage the bar.

The bar needs to be evened with a flat file if one of the

races is higher than another and then smoothed with a

file and fine sandpaper. If races are considerably worn,

check that the height is always greater than the chains

transmission links so that the latter do not touch the

bottom. Replace the bar if this should occur.

The chainsaw should be periodically serviced to check the

correct operation of the chain, chain drive, motor and brake.

CAUTION.

Water must never come into contact with

the tool.

First time user

If you are not familiar with chain saws and the felling of

trees, it is recommended that you obtain informed instruc-

tions in addition to reading this manual fully. We also

recommend as a minimum that you practice cutting logs

on a saw-horse or log cradle.

General inspection

Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.

They may vibrate loose over time.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried

out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an

authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Storage

Clean the electric chain saw with a dry cloth, do not use

aggressive cleaning fluids.

Replace the electric chain saw blade cover and store in a

dry place. Do not store in hot, dry boiler rooms or other

damp places.
