• Protective helmet,

• Hearing defenders (e.g. protective earflaps),

• Protective glasses or a face protector on a

protective helmet,

• Protective trousers with the protective filling in

the crotch,

• Firm work gloves,

• Safety shoes with non-slip soles and steel toe

caps.

Working area

There must not be any other persons in the

operating area. Also beware of children and of

animals. The user of the unit is responsible for

any accidents caused to other persons and/or

damage to their property. Remove all cut off parts

and other objects - danger of tripping.

Operating

• Operate the unit only after its complete

assembly.

• Inspect the unit’s appearance before operating

it. The unit must be in a safe working condition.

• Immediately replace any parts that are cracked

or chipped.

• Operate the unit only in the technical condition

authorized by the producer.

• Never remove any safety and protective

devices of the unit.

• Always keep the unit in a safe condition.

• Before you start any work, replace any

possible foreign objects from the cut object,

which will avoid kickbacks.

• Always hold the chain saw in both hands -

hold the rear handle with the right hand, the

front handle with the left hand. Never use the

chain saw above shoulder level, because the

handling is not safe on this level.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or

fuel mixture.

• Always carry and move the chainsaw with the

chain stopped.

• When transporting your chainsaw, make sure

the appropriate guide bar cover is in place and

the engine is stopped.

• Always carry the chainsaw by the rear handle

with the muffler away from your body directed

to the back.

• During all maintenance work, such as saw

chain replacement or transport of the unit,

always stop the engine.

• If you do not use the unit, always cover the

saw chain with the guide bar cover.

To operate a chainsaw for woodcutting

of trees and cutting of branches requires

extensive experience - operate the unit

only with the assistance of professionally

skilled staff.

Operating time lines

Observe the operating time lines according to

the lawn mowing regulations (noise protection)

specific for all countries. Always use the unit in

daylight or in good artificial light.

Propellants / oil for saw chains

Propellants and oil for saw chains must be

carried and stored only in containers allowed and

indicated for such purpose.

Petrol is highly flammable!

• Add fuel outdoors only. Do not smoke when

refuelling! Never open the cap of the fuel tank,

or add fuel, while the engine is running or the

unit is hot.

• Always use a funnel or a filling pipe for adding

fuel to avoid spilling the fuel onto the engine,

the cover or the ground.

• If the fuel overflows the engine must not be

started. It is necessary to clean the unit. Under

no circumstances should the unit be started

until the petrol vapours have dispersed.

• Move the chain saw at least 3 m from the

fuelling point before starting the engine.

Exhaust pipe and parts close to it may be

very hot - danger of burning.

Never run the internal combustion

engine inside a closed room -

intoxication risk!

For security reasons always replace the fuel tank

and its cap if damaged.

Oil for Saw Chains

To lubricate the saw chain and guide bar, use only

ecological, biologically degradable quality oil for

saw chains and eventually oil for saw chains on

the basis of mineral oils (ISO VG 100).

Never use oil that has already been used!

Already used oil does not sufficiently

lubricate the chain and in addition can

harm the environment.

Danger of kickback

When working with the chain saw, there can

appear to be a kickback. This kickback can be

caused when the top ending of the guide bar

touches the wood or any other solid object. At this

moment, the chain saw ceases to be controllable

and it is kick backed with a high velocity in the

direction of the user. This can cause severe injury.

Danger of kickback. Kickback can cause

fatal injury.

To avoid kickbacks, follow these instructions:

• Hold the chainsaw firmly in both hands

• Start cutting when the unit is already running -

cut only at full performance.

• Never cut using the top of the guide bar.

• Always watch the end of the guide bar.

• Never use the chainsaw with your arms

stretched.

• Never cut while on a ladder or above shoulder

level.

• Be careful when proceeding with the already

started cut.

• Never work too much when leaning forwards.

• Never cut more than one branch at a time.

• Always work with the correctly sharpened and

tight saw chain.

• Remove the chainsaw from the cut only when

the saw chain is running.

3. ASSEMBLY

Guide bar and saw chain assembly

Fig. 2a - 2d

The saw chain has very sharp edges. Use

thick protective gloves for safety.

Before starting any work on the guide

bar and the saw chain:

• Stop the engine,

• Unplug the spark plug connector,

• Put protective gloves on.

• Observe the run direction of the saw chain.

• The cutting edges of the saw teeth on the top

side of the guide bar lead to the front to the

reversible star (the end of the bar).

1) Pull the guard towards the front handle to

check that the chain brake is not engaged.

2) Loosen the nuts and remove the chain cover.

3) Install the attached spike to the power unit.

4) Gear the chain to the sprocket and, while

fitting the saw chain around the guide bar,

mount the guide bar to the power unit. Adjust

the position of chain tensioner nut on the chain

cover to the lower hole of guide bar.

Pay attention to the correct direction of

the saw chain.

5) Fit the chain cover to the power unit and fasten

the nuts to finger tightness.

6) While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the

chain tension by turning the tensioner screw

until the tie straps just touch the bottom side

of the bar rail.

7) Tighten the nuts securely with the bar tip

held up (12 ~ 15 Nm). Then check the chain

for smooth rotation and proper tension while

moving it by hand. If necessary, readjust with

the chain cover loose.

8) Tighten the tensioner screw.

A new chain will expand its length in the

beginning of use. Check and readjust the

tension frequently as a loose chain can

easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself

and the guide bar.

Chain brake

Fig. 8

Your chain saw is equipped with a CHAIN BRAKE

that reduces the possibility of injury due to

kickback. The brake is activated if pressure is

applied against the brake lever when, as in the

event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes

the lever. When the brake is activated the chain

movement will abruptly stop.

The purpose of the chain brake is to

reduce the possibility of injury due to

kickback; however, it cannot provide the

intended measure of protection if the

saw is operated carelessly.

Always test the chain brake before using

your saw and periodically during working

with the saw.

Chain Brake Mechanical Test with the Engine

Switched off

• The chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can

move) when the BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED

BACK AND LOCKED to the front handle.

• The chain brake is ENGAGED (chain is locked)

when the brake lever is in the forward position.

You should not be able to move the chain.

Chain Brake Test when the Engine is Running

Before you start any type of work, always test the

functionality when the engine is running.

• Depress the safety cover of the hand to the

front (saw chain is blocked).

• Start the engine and loosen the throttle to the

maximum for a while (max. 3 seconds). The

saw chain must not move.

Never run the saw when the chain brake

is activated (blocked) because it can very

quickly cause a huge amount of damage

to the unit.

Fuel

Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking

or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel.

Make sure to stop the engine and allow it

cool before refueling the unit. Select

outdoor bare ground for fueling and move

at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling

point before starting the engine.

Fuel Mixture

The engines are lubricated by oil specially

formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine

use. Use quality oil expressly labeled for air-

cooled 2-cycle engine use. Do not use BIA or

TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

Recommended mixing ratio is:

GASOLINE 25 : OIL 1

• Exhaust emission are controlled by the

fundamental engine parameters and

components (eq., carburetion, ignition timing

and port timing) without addition of any

major hardware or the introduction of an inert

material during combustion.

• These engines are certified to operate on

unleaded gasoline.

• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum

octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).

• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane

value than prescribed, there is a danger that

the engine temperature may rise and an

engine problem such as piston seizing may

consequently occur.

• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce

the contamination of the air for the sake of

your health and the environment.

• Poor quality gasoline or oils may damage

sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.

Mixing Fuel

Fig. 3

Always mix petrol and 2-cycle engine oil

only in a container specifically

designated for this purpose.

1) Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil

to be mixed.

2) Put some of the gasoline into a clean,

approved fuel container.

3) Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.

4) Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again

for at least one minute. As some oils may be

difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients,

sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine

to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is

insufficient, there is an increased danger of early

piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.

5) Put a clear indication on the outside of the

container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or

other containers.

6) Indicate the contents on outside of container

for easy identification.

Shake the mixture correctly before

pouring it into the fuel tank.

Fuel Storage

Fuel can be stored for a limited time period only.

Fuel and mixtures get old. Old fuel mixture can

cause problems during starting of the chainsaw.

Mix only as much of the mixture as you need for

the following 4 week period.

Fueling the unit

Fig. 4

1) Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap

on a dustless place.

2) Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full

capacity.

3) Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any

fuel spillage around the unit.

Select flat and bare ground for fueling.

Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away

from the fueling point before starting the

engine.

Stop the engine before refueling the unit.

At that time, be sure to sufficiently

agitate the mixed gasoline in the

container.

Saw chain oil

Fig. 4

Use motor oil SAE #10W-30 all year round or SAE

#30 ~ #40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter.

Do not use wasted or regenerated oil

that can cause damage to the oil pump.

To enable sufficient oil lubrication of the saw

chain, there must be a sufficient amount of oil in

the tank.

Whenever filling the fuel mixture to the

tank, also replenish the oil for saw

chains.

To oil the chain saw and guide bar, use only

ecological, biologically degradable oil for saw

chains, then eventually oil for saw chains on the

basis of mineral oils (ISO VG 100).

Oils for saw chains stick when not used

for a long time. This can cause damage

to the oil pump or parts using the oil.

How to avoid it:

• Empty the oil for saw chains out of the oil tank

of the chain saw.

• Replenish the tank with a little engine oil.

• Allow the chain saw to run for some time

to enable the oil to flow and to clean the oil

pump.

Before further use of the chain saw, again

replenish the tank with oil for saw chains.

4. OPERATION

Engine start

Fig. 4, 5a, 5b

Before starting the saw be sure to loosen

the chain brake. The safety cover should

be pulled to the front handle.

It is very dangerous to run a chainsaw

that mounts broken parts or lacks any

parts. Before starting engine, make sure

that all the parts including bar and chain

are installed properly.

When restarting immediately after

stopping the engine, leave the choke

knob at the open position.

When restarting immediately after

stopping the engine, leave the choke

knob at the open position.

Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start

rotating upon starting of engine.

1) Fill fuel and chain oil tanks respectively, and

tighten the caps securely.

2) Set the switch to “I” position.

3) Pull out the choke knob to the closed position.

4) While holding the saw unit securely on the

ground, pull the starter rope vigorously.

5) When engine has ignited first, pull the throttle

lever to return the choke knob to the open

position and then pull the starter again to start

the engine.

6) Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle

lever pulled slightly.

Switching off the engine

1) Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to

idle for a few minutes.

2) Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position.

Chain oil

Fig. 6a

Make sure to set up the bar and the

chain when checking the oil supply. If

not, the rotating parts may be exposed. It

is very dangerous.

After starting the engine, run the chain at medium

speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as

shown in the figure 6a.

Chain oil flow adjusting

Fig. 6b

The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a

screw-driver in the hole on bottom of the clutch

side. Adjust according to your work conditions.

The oil tank should become nearly empty

by the time fuel is used up. Be sure to

refill the oil tank every time when

refueling the saw.

Carburetor

Fig. 7

Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the

bar chain attached.

The carburetor on your unit has been factory

adjusted, but may require fine tuning due to a

change in operating conditions. Before adjusting

the carburetor, make sure that the provided

air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel

properly mixed.

When adjusting, take the following steps:

1) H and L needles are restricted within the

number of turn as shown below.

H needle: -1/4 -1/4

L needle: -1/4 -1/4

2) Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low

speed for a few minutes.

3) Turn the idle adjusting screw counterclockwise

so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling

speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.

4) Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for

best cutting power, not for maximum speed.

Chain brake operational test

Fig. 8

Test the chain brake periodically to

ensure correct function.

• Place the saw on a clear, firm, flat surface and

then start the engine.

• Grasp the rear handle with your right hand and

with your left hand, hold the front handle safely

and firmly.

• Let the engine run at mid revs.

• Squeeze the chain brake lever to the front. The

saw chain should abruptly stop.

• Then depress the trigger to “IDLE” and release

the chain brake.

If the chain does not stop, turn the

engine off and take your unit to the

nearest authorized service centre for

service. The saw must not be used.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Felling requires extensive experience.

Both, felling and limbing must only be

carried out by trained persons.

Courses for working with chainsaws and

courses for felling trees are regularly

offered by local professional

organisations.

Before proceeding to your job, read the

section “Sefety Instructions”. It is

recommended to first practice sawing

easy logs. This also helps you get

accustomed to your unit.

Always follow the safety regulations. The

chain saw must only be used for cutting

wood. It is forbidden to cut other types

of material. Vibrations and kickback vary

with different materials and the

requirements of the safety regulations

would not be respected.

Do not use the chain saw as a lever for

lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not

lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to

hitch tools or applications to the PTO

other than those specified by the

manufacturer.

It is not necessary to force the saw into

the cut. Apply only light pressure while

running the engine at full throttle.

When the saw chain is caught in the cut,

do not attempt to pull it out by force, but

use a wedge or a lever to open the way.

This saw is equipped with a chain brake

that will stop the chain in the event of

kickback if operating prop¬erly. You

must check the chain brake operation

before each usage by run¬ning the saw

at full the throttle for I ¬2 seconds and

pushing the front hand guard forward.

The chain should stop immediately with

the engine at full speed. If the chain is

slow to stop or does not stop, replace

the brake band and clutch drum before

use.

It is extremely important that the chain

brake be checked for proper operation

before each use and that the chain be

sharp in order to maintain the kickback

safety level of this saw. Removal of the

safety devices, inadequate maintenance,

or incorrect replacement of the bar or

chain may increase the risk to serious

personal injury due to kickback.

General guidelines for felling trees

Never cut with the nose of the guide bar.

Danger of kickback.

Felling can start only under the condition

that an escape route from the felling tree

is provided.

When you fell a tree, be sure to warn

neighboring workers of the danger.

Never cut a tree during winds.

Always ensure your foothold. Do not

stand on the log.

Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.

Especially when working on a slope,

stand on the uphill side of the log.

Follow the instructions in “Safety

Instructions” to avoid kickback of the

saw.

• In the area of felling trees, there must not be

any other persons or animals.

• The safety distance from the tree being felled

is minimally 2½ x the length of the tree.

• The direction of the fall is controlled by the

notching cut.

• The escape route should lead ca 45° obliquely

back.

• For the direction of the tree fall, these factors

are also important:

- Natural lean of the tree,

- Height of the tree,

- Large amount of branches,

- Location on flat land or slope,

- Asymmetric growth, damaged wood,

- Direction and velocity of air,

- Snow on the branches.

Felling

Fig. 9a

Felling consists of 2 main cutting

operations: making 2 notching cuts and

making one felling cut.

For felling cuts and cross cuts, the spike

bar must safely adhere to the cut wood.

The felling cut must be made in the

desired fall direction as close to the

ground as possible.

• First cut the felling notch obliquely from above,

then horizontally.

• Cut the felling cut horizontally in the opposite

direction to the felling notch. The cut must be

made ca 3-5 cm higher than the horizontal

notch.

There must be a joint bar between the

notch and the cut, whose width is ca

1/10 of the tree trunk diameter.

• If the tree starts falling during the cut,

immediately remove the chainsaw from the

cut and leave via the safety route away from

danger.

Beware of falling branches.

• If the tree remains standing, fell it by using

wedges which are driven into the felling cut.

Beware of falling branches.

Bucking and Limbing

Always ensure your foothold. Do not

stand on the log.

Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.

Especially when working on a slope,

stand on the uphill side of the log.

Follow the instructions in “For Safe

Operation” to avoid kickback of the saw.

A log lying off the ground

Fig. 9b

Before starting work, check the direction of

bending force inside the log to be cut. Always

finish cutting from the opposite side of the

bending direction to prevent the guide bar from

being caught in the cut.

A log hanging off the ground

Fig. 9c

Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut

from the opposite side.

In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and

finish by sawing down from the top .In area B, saw

down from the top one-third and finish by sawing

up from the bottom.

Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree

Fig. 9d

First check to which side the limb is bent. Then

make the initial cut from the bent side and finish

by sawing from the opposite side.

Be alert to the springing back of a cut

limb.

Pruning of Standing Tree

Fig. 9e

Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top.

Do not use an unstable foothold or

ladder.

Do not overreach.

Do not cut above shoulder height.

Always use both your hands to

hold the saw.

Fig. 14

The fuel filter should be replaced after

each 20 hours of use.

After removing the filter, use a pinch to

hold the end of the suction pipe.

When assembling the filter, take care not

to allow filter fibers or dust inside the

suction pipe.

1) Using a wire hook, take out the filter from the

filler port.

2) Disassemble the filter and wash with gasoline,

or replace with a new one if needed.

Oil filter

Fig. 15

With a wire hook, take out the oil filter through the

filler port and clean in gasoline. When putting the

filter back into the tank, make sure that it comes

to the front right corner. Also clean off dirt in the

tank.

Spark plug replacement

Fig. 16

Defective and burnt-out spark plugs must be

replaced. Use only original spark plugs.

• Disconnect the connector of the spark plug.

• Remove the spark plug by unscrewing with a

pair of pliers.

• Check the gap of the spark plug electrodes,

which must be 0.6 ~ 0.7 mm.

Inner Sprocket Cleaning

Fig. 17

Check for cracks and for excessive wear

interfering with the chain drive. If the wear is

considerable, replace it with new one. Never fit a

new chain on a worn sprocket, or a worn chain on

a new sprocket.

Saw chain

Fig. 18-21

It is very important for smooth and safe

operation to always keep the cutters

sharp.

Be sure to wear safety gloves.

For inexperienced users of the chainsaw,

we recommend to have the chain

sharpened by a specialist from any

authorized service.

When using an incorrectly sharpened

chain, a higher risk of kickback can occur.

After sharpening the cutting teeth 3 or 4

times, have the saw chain sharpened in

any authorised service. They will sharpen

the depth limiter as well, which provides

the distance.

To gain well shaped sawdust particles,

use a sharp chain. If wooden powder

appears, you must sharpen the saw

chain.

All cutting teeth must be similarly long.

Different lengths of teeth can cause

rough running of the chain or its rupture.

The cutters need to be sharpened when:

1. Sawdust becomes powder-like.

2. You need extra force to saw in.

3. The cut path does not go straight.

4. Vibration increases.

5. Fuel consumption increases.

Cutter setting standards:

Before filing:

• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.

• Make sure the engine is stopped.

• Use a round file of proper size for the chain.

1) Place the file on the cutter and push straight

forward.

2) Keep the file position as illustrated (fig. 18).

3) After each cutter has been filed, check the

depth gauge and file it to the proper level as

illustrated (fig. 19).

4) Make sure every cutter has the same length

and edge angles as illustrated (fig. 20).

Guide bar

Fig. 21

• Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial

wear.

• The bar rail should always be square. Check

for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar

and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed

between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise,

the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be

corrected or replaced.

Chain saw storing

After use, clean the chainsaw properly.

Never store a chainsaw for longer than 30 days

without performing the following procedures:

• Empty the chainsaw oil from the oil tank.

• Pour some engine oil into it.

• Allow the engine to run for some time to clean

the oil leadings and oil pump.

• Empty the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and allow it run at idle until the

engine stops due to lack of fuel.

• Remove the saw chain and guide bar; clean

them and sprinkle them with preservative oil.

• Clean the chainsaw properly and store it in a

dry place.

ENVIRONMENT

Faulty and/or discarded machines have

to be collected at the appropriate

recycling locations.

In order to avoid damage during transport, the

saw is delivered in strong packaging material.

Where possible, recyclable packaging material

has been used. Therefore, please recycle the

packaging material.
