SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Cutting equipment  
WARNING! Always stop the engine before  
doing any work on the cutting attachment.  
This continues to rotate even after the  
throttle has been released. Ensure that the  
cutting attachment has stopped completely  
and disconnect the HT lead from the spark  
plug before you start to work on it.  
!
This section describes how you can achieve maximum  
clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting attachment  
through correct maintenance and using the right type of  
cutting attachment.  
Specification of bar and saw chain  
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See  
the Technical data section.  
When the cutting attachment supplied with your machine has  
to be replaced, because it is worn out or damaged, you must  
only fit the types of bar and saw chain recommended by us.  
Bar  
Length (inches/cm)  
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!  
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file  
gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the  
risk of accidents.  
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T). Small number =  
small tip radius = low risk of kickback.  
Chain pitch (inches).The spacing between the drive links  
of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the  
bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket.  
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our  
instructions and use the recommended raker gauge. Too  
large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.  
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is  
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and  
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.  
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it  
is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the  
bar, chain and drive sprocket.  
Bar groove width (inches/mm).The groove in the bar must  
match the width of the chain drive links.  
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly  
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to break  
and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive  
sprocket.  
Saw chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner pin.  
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty  
safety equipment.The machine’s safety  
equipment must be checked and maintained  
as described in this section. If your machine  
fails any of these checks contact your  
service agent to get it repaired.

It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right  
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This  
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and  
cutting performance from your chain.  
Sharpening your chain and  
adjusting raker clearance  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased  
with a badly sharpened chain!  
!
WARNING! The following faults will increase  
the risk of kickback considerably:  
!
General information on sharpening cutting  
teeth  
File angle too large  
Cutting angle too small  
File diameter too small  
Never use a blunt chain.When the chain is blunt you have  
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood  
and the cuttings will be very small.If the chain is very blunt  
it will not produce any cuttings at all. Wood powder would  
be the only result.  
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and  
produces long, thick cuttings.  
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link and  
this consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the raker lip (B).The  
cutting depth is determined by the difference in height  
between the two.  
Sharpening cutting teeth  
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a  
file gauge.  
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are five important  
factors to remember.  
1
Filing angle  
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain  
will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen  
correctly.  
2
Cutting angle  
English – 5  
 
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face outwards.  
Setting the raker clearance  
Reduce the pressure on the return stroke.File all the teeth  
on one side of the bar first.Then turn the saw over and file  
the remaining teeth from the other side.  
Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should  
be newly sharpened. We recommend that you adjust the  
raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain.  
NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of  
the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.  
To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a  
raker gauge.  
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of  
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is  
worn out and should be replaced.  
Place the gauge over the raker lip.  
General advice on setting raker clearance  
Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through  
the gauge and file off the excess.The clearance is correct  
when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the  
file over the gauge.  
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker  
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting  
performance you must file back the raker lip to the  
recommended height.  
Tensioning the chain  
On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker  
lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this  
radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.  
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and  
cause serious or even fatal injury.  
!
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is  
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up  
the slack.  
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve  
the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.  
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A  
new chain has a running-in period during which you  
should check the tension more frequently.  
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight  
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased  
if the raker clearance is too large!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Filling with chain oil  
1
Undo the bar nut.  
The oil pump is preset at the factory to meet most lubrication  
requirements. A full oil tank will last about half as long as a full  
tank of fuel.You should therefore check the level of oil in the  
oil tank regularly to avoid damage to the saw chain and bar  
that could occur due to lack of lubrication.  
2
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening  
the chain tensioning screw using the combination  
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the  
underside of the bar.  
Checking chain lubrication  
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.  
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm  
(8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you  
should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.  
3
Use the combination spanner to tighten the blade nut  
while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull  
the saw chain round freely by hand.  
Adjusting chain lubrication  
Lubricating cutting equipment  
When cutting dry or hard species of wood it may be  
necessary to increase lubrication. Turn the adjuster screw  
anticlockwise to increase the oil flow. Remember that this will  
increase oil consumption, check the level in the oil tank  
regularly. Turn the adjuster screw clockwise to decrease the  
oil flow.  
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting  
equipment may cause the chain to snap,  
which could lead to serious, even fatal  
injuries.  
!
Chain oil  
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain  
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of  
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.  
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an  
optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also  
biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for  
both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental  
damage.  
What to do if lubrication does not work:  
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is  
recommended.  
1
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.  
Clean if necessary.  
In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw chains  
is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be  
used.  
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the  
machine and the environment.

3
Check that the oil channel in the gear housing is clean.  
Clean if necessary.  
Vibration damping system  
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely. If the chain  
lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the  
above checks you should contact your service workshop.  
Check regularly that the vibration damping element is free  
from cracks. Check regularly the degree of wear to the rubber  
dampers. Replace them if worn.  
Checking wear on cutting  
equipment  
Chain  
Bar  
Check the chain daily for:  
Check regularly:  
Visible cracks in rivets and links.  
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove  
these with a file if necessary.  
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn.  
Replace the bar if necessary.  
Whether the chain is stiff.  
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.  
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a  
hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to  
running with a slack chain.  
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new  
chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.  
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4  
mm the chain must be replaced.  
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.  
Chain drive sprocket  
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment may  
increase the risk of accidents.  
!
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.  
Replace if wear is excessive.

completely before cleaning the cutting attachment.  
Never wear loose clothing or jewellery.  
Make sure your hair does not hang below shoulder level.  
Safety instructions after completing work  
Safety instructions regarding the  
surroundings  
Never allow children to use the machine.  
The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting  
attachment when the machine is not in use.  
Ensure that no-one comes closer than 15 m while you are  
working.  
Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before  
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.  
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.  
Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first  
ensuring that they have understood the contents of the  
operator’s manual.  
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting  
attachment.This is extremely sharp and can easily cause  
cuts.  
Never work from a ladder, stool or any other raised  
position that is not fully secured.  
Store the machine out of reach of children.  
Use only original spare parts for repairs.  
Safety instructions while working

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working  
Cut large branches in sections so that you have better  
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on  
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.  
control over where they fall.  
Always work at full throttle.  
Let the engine drop back to idle speed between each cut.  
Long periods at full throttle can cause serious damage to  
the centrifugal clutch.  
Never cut through the swelling at the root of the branch as  
this will slow down healing and increase the risk of fungal  
attack!  
WARNING! Never stand directly underneath  
a branch that is being cut.This could lead to  
serious or even fatal personal injury.  
!
Observe great care when working close to overhead power  
lines. Falling branches can result in short-circuiting.  
WARNING! Observe the applicable safety  
regulations for work in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines.  
!
Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide  
support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting  
attachment from ”jumping” on the branch.  
WARNING! This machine is not electrically  
insulated. If the machine touches or comes  
close to high-voltage power lines it could  
!
lead to death or serious bodily injury.  
Electricity can jump from one point to  
another by arcing.The higher the voltage,  
the greater the distance electricity can jump.  
Electricity can also travel through branches  
and other objects, especially if they are wet.  
Always keep a distance of at least 10 m  
between the machine and high-voltage  
power lines and/or any objects that are  
touching them. If have to work within this  
safe distance you should always contact the  
relevant power company to make sure the  
power is switched off before you start work.  
Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch before  
cutting through the branch.This will prevent tearing of the  
bark, which could lead to slow healing and cause  
permanent damage to the tree. The cut should not be  
deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness to prevent  
jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the  
cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it jamming.  
WARNING! This machine has a long reach.  
Make sure that no people or animals come  
closer than 15 m when the machine is  
running.  
!
Whenever possible position yourself so that you can make  
the cut at right angles to the branch.  
Use the harness to support the weight of the machine and  
make it easier to handle.  
Make sure you have a firm footing and that you can work  
without being hampered by branches, stones and trees.  
Do not work with the shaft held straight out in front of you  
(like a fishing rod) as this increases the apparent weight of  
the cutting attachment.  
WARNING! Never activate the throttle  
without having the cutting attachment in full  
view.
