Spark plug
• The spark plug should be checked regularly.
• To access the spark plug, undo the retaining screw on the top of the
chainsaw body, and remove the cover. The spark plug can now be
removed using the spanner supplied.
• The electrode gap should be set to 0.65mm.
• If the plug appears to be fouled, or burnt, the engine is not running
properly. Check for correct fuel mixture, and proper engine adjustment.
• If the electrode is heavily pitted, or eroded, replace the spark plug with a
new one of the same type.
• Always tighten spark plug properly before use.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life.
• The chain and cutting bar should be regularly removed to allow proper
cleaning of the chain oil feed ports.
• Clean the body of your machine with a cloth and detergent.
• The fuel tank contains a filter that should be regularly cleaned with fresh
petrol.
• The air filter should be removed and cleaned regularly. To access
the filter, undo the retaining screw on the top of the chainsaw body,
and remove the cover. The air filter element should be cleaned using
household detergent, dried, and re-oiled with regular machine oil.
Reassemble before using the chainsaw.
Storage
• Allow the chainsaw to cool fully before preparing for storage.
• Drain out all fuel and oil.
• If the chainsaw is to be stored for an extended period, wipe over all metal
surfaces with an oiled cloth. Remove the spark plug, and pour a small
amount of oil into the cylinder. Replace spark plug, and pull the starting
handle to distribute oil.
• Store the chainsaw in a clean, dry, place away from heat and direct
sunlight. Ensure that the chainsaw is stored where children cannot get
access to it.
