Thank you for purchasing a Garland machine. We hope you enjoy using it and that you are satisfied with its performance and easy use. SECURTY FIRST The instructions in this manual marked with a symbol concern critical points which must be taken into consideration to prevent serious bodily harm, and for this reason, we ask that you carefully read all instructions and follow them without fail. This tool must only be used for cutting wood. If this tool is used for cutting any other material, this will be done at the risk of the user, since it could be dangerous. Before using the machine for the first time, please carefully read the information below about the techniques for a safe and correct operation and keep the manual for future reference. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage that is caused by the inappropriate or incorrect use of the tool. ÍNDICE 1. INTRODUCTION Ref.:GMSMONTANA1120M1014V1

In order to reduce risk of injury, please observe the safety precautions which figure below. Read this manual carefully. Familiarize yourself with the controls and learn how to use the tool correctly. Never allow children, or people who do not understand the instructions in the manual, to use this tool. Prolonged use of this machine exposes the user to vibrations which may cause the disease of “white fingers” (Raynaud’s phenomenon). This disease reduces the sense of touch of the hands and the ability to regulate temperature, creating numbness in the fingers and a burning sensation. It can cause nerve and circulation problems and even necrosis in the hands. High vibration levels and long periods of exposure are the factors that contribute to white finger disease. To reduce the risk of white finger disease need to consider these recommendations:

• Alwaysrmlyholdthemachinebythehandles If you find some of the symptoms of white finger disease see your doctor immediately. Do not forget to give this book if you sell or lend this machine.

When the tip of the chain bar comes into contact with an object, kickback can occur. When the tip touches the object, this can cause the bar to quickly move upwards and backwards in the opposite direction, towards the user. This reaction may cause losing control of the tool, causing serious injury to the body.

There may be a “pull forward” when the chain stops abruptly and get caught in the cutting area by a foreign body that is in the wood or because user is not cutting properly. The chain, when stops, pushing forward the chainsaw that if the chainsaw is not properly held against the branch or tree by claw, produces an unexpected pull that can cause the user to lose control of the saw , to fall forward and cause severe injury. To avoid this “pull-forward” to start the cut at full throttle and always maintain machine at top speed for cutting and support the grip of the chainsaw against the wood to be cut.

If the top part of the chain and blade become imprisoned in the wood, it can cause a back pull and the blade could rebound backwards towards the user. The chain when imprisoned or at a standstill and if the machine is not properly fixed to the wood by the claw can cause loss of control of the machine and severe damage to the user.

2. SECURITY MEASURESEnglish

28/148 English 29/148 Any of these reactions can cause a loss of control of the saw and could cause severe corporal damage. Do not only rely on the security measures of the machine. As user of the machine, take the necessary measures to eliminate the risk of accident and/or personal injury when cutting with the machine. These forces occur are due to an improper use of the machine and/or because of the incorrect interpretation of the instruction manual and can be avoided by following these simple instructions: - Always firmly hold the machine with the two hands by the handles. - Always be aware of where the tip of the chain bar is. - Take care that the tip of the bar does not touch any object. - Never cut with the tip of the chain bar. - Make sure that there are not nails or pieces of metal in the cutting area and pay particular attention to nails or pieces of iron that may be around the cutting area. Also be careful when cutting hardwoods where the chain can be hooked the chain causing it to crash and produce the kickback. - Do not cut above shoulder height - Start the cut at full throttle and always maintain top speed machine while cutting. - Cut only one branch or a single piece of wood each time. - Be extremely careful when you enter the chain of the chainsaw in a started cut to continue. - Don’t cut with the chainsaw until you are familiar with the cutting technique. - Don’t cut in branches or pieces of wood that can change position during the cutting or may close the cut as it is practiced. 2.2. WORKING GARMENTS Use eye and ear protection when you use the machine. The noise from this machine can damage your ears. Use ear protectors. If you work regularly with this machine, see your doctor to check your hearing. Hearing protection when working with you should be more careful to visual cues because the hearing will be weaker.

This machine includes the following elements that you will find inside the box:

The chain of the chainsaw has very sharp edges. Use protective gloves to avoid being cut.

1. Check the chain brake is not activated, by pulling

the brake lever backwards.

2. Loosen the bolts (1) and remove the chain

guard (2). Once you take off the cover, take off the adjustment protector (7) too.

3. Slip the chain (3) around the sprocket (4) while you

adjust the chain (3) around the bar (5) and assemble the bar (5) onto the tool. Adjust the chain tensor, ensuring the pivot of the tensing nut (6) coincides with the hole on the bar (5). Pay attention to the correct position of the chain. The chain must be placed in the direction which is shown in the figure below:

4. Place the chain guard (2) and tighten the nuts

5. Tighten the chain. The tension is correct when the

chain can be pulled upwards at the centre of the bar to its maximum position possible and the tip of the guiding link does not come away.

6. START UP INSTRUCTIONSEnglish

32/148 English 33/148 Example (A) corresponds to a chain that is too tight. Example (B) corresponds to a chain that is too loose.

6. Tighten the bolts (1) with a strength of (12-15 Nm)

then check that the chain slides smoothly round the bar, maintaining the appropriate tightness when it is moved by hand. If necessary, adjust the tension again. New chains have the tendency to dilate when they are used for the first time. Check and adjust the tension with frequency. A loose chain can easily come away and this will cause both the chain and the chain bar to wear out quickly.

6.3. POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE OPERATING

Check the whole machine for any loose parts (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) or damage. Repair or replace the parts that are necessary before using the machine. Check that there are no fuel leaks. Do not use the machine if it is damaged or incorrectly adjusted. Before commencing a task, it is necessary to plan the path where the tree will fall, to have a clear escape route and to ensure feet are safely supported. Inspect the working area and remove all obstacles. Do not commence work until the working area is clear. Check the working area and the direction in which the branches and/or trees will fall. Check that the air filter is not dirty. If necessary, clean it thoroughly before operating.

6.3.1. CHECKING THE SAFETY BRAKE

When kickback occurs, the tip of the chain bar rises brusquely, the chainsaw changes its angle and, as this movement is so quick, the user does not have time to change the position of his left arm, which bangs against the protective guard and activates the safety brake. The safety brake can be activated whenever desired, by moving the safety guard forwards. To release the safety brake, pull the safety protector backwards until a “click” can be heard. Remember to check the brake every day the chainsaw is used:

1. Switch off the engine.

2. Activate the safety brake by moving the lever

forward until a “click” can be heard.

3. Hold the chainsaw horizontally with the tip about

40 cms over a piece of wood, take your hand off the front handle allowing the chainsaw to rotate on your right hand and hit the wood.English 34/148 English 35/148 If the brake is operating correctly, the chain should not move when it comes into contact with the wood. If the brake does not work correctly take the tool to the customer service. Do not start the chainsaw with the safety brake activated. If the motor is running and the chain is blocked by the brake, the clutch will overheat and this could cause damage. If the brake is activated with the tool running, remove your fingers from the throttle trigger and leave the tool idling. Check why the safety brake has been activated later.

6.3.2. FUEL AND OIL MIX

IMPORTANT: The engine fuel is highly inflammable. If the fuel or tool catch fire, please extinguish it using a dry powder fire extinguisher. Always avoid contact of gasoline or oil in your eyes. If gas or oil in contact with eyes rinse immediately with clean water. If your eyes feel irritated then immediately consult a doctor. Use new lead free 95º petrol and 100% synthetic oil for two stroke engines. Engine fuel: mix (petrol 40: oil 1) 2,5%. Do not smoke when filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke and keep the fuel away from a naked flames or sparks. Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running. Never add fuel while the engine is running or still hot. If petrol is spilt during the filling process, make sure it is completely eliminated by using cloths to absorb it. Do not add fuel near a naked flame or in a closed or badly ventilated area. Always keep the fuel in a properly labeled container whose use has been approved by the local codes and regulations. Mix gasoline and oil in a container approved CE. Do not use fuel which has been stored for more than two months. Fuel which has been stored for a long time makes it difficult to start the engine and it will produce an unsatisfactory performance from the engine. If the fuel has been stored for more than two months, it must be substituted for new fuel. Filling the tank with fuel:

1. Fill the tank in an open area.

2. Shake the container which holds the mix.

4. Close the lid of the tank firmly and remove any spilt

Always stop the engine before adding fuel to the tool. Do not carry out this operation in a badly ventilated closed area.English 34/148 English 35/148 Before starting the engine, move at least 3 meters away from the place where the fuel was added. Sepárese al menos 3 metros de la zona en la que ha repostado antes de arrancar la máquina.

Only special lubricating oil for chain saws must be used. Do not use used oil as this could damage the oil pump. Chain oil must be introduced into the chain oil reservoir. You can recognize this deposit by the pictogram (indicated in Chapter 4, “Symbols on the machine). 6.4. OPERATING Before starting the engine, ensure no moving parts of the tool are in contact with anything. Once the engine has started, make sure the chain stops when the throttle trigger is released. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, strongly gripping the hangles when the engine is running. It is necessary to pay attention to the possible loosening or overheating of the parts. If any abnormalities are detected in the machine, stop working immediately and inspect the machine carefully. If necessary, take the machine to an authorized distributor to be repaired. Under no circumstance must the work continue, if the tool is not operating correctly. Do not use the machine if it is damaged or incorrectly adjusted. Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil or fuel.

2. Press the engine primer repeatedly (7-10 times)

until the fuel reaches the primer.

3. Pull the choke lever (3).

4. When the tool is placed on the ground, it must be

put in a horizontal and stable place.

5. Hold the tool firmly with the left hand on the front

handle and a foot placed through the back handle.English 36/148 English 37/148

6. Pull the start up rope until the engine starts or it

makes one explosion.

7. Push the choke lever downwards. (Normal

operating position).

8. If the tool has not started, pull the starting rope

again (6) until it starts.

9. Leave the engine to warm up for a few minutes

before using the machine

6.4.2. STARTING UP WITH THE ENGINE WARM

If the machine is hot, put the switch (I), make sure the choke is stuck and pull the starter rope until engine starts. If after a few attempts the machine will not start follow the steps starting with a cold engine.

6.4.3. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Release the throttle lever and leave the engine running idle for thirty seconds. Stop the engine by moving the ignition switch (1) to the STOP position (0).

6.4.4. CHECKING THE CLUTCH

After starting up and the engine is hot, the chain must not be moved if the engine is idle If the chain turns with the engine running and without accelerating, it will be necessary to regulate the idling regime of the engine. To do this, turn the carburetor nut “T” until the engine stops. If you are unable to regulate the idling regime to stop the chain, because the engine stalls, please contact the customer service for help. The regulation of the screws (H) and (L) must only be carried out by an official technical service.

6.4.5. CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY

After starting the engine, accelerate in order to move the chain at an average speed and check that the oil is dispersed as shown in the diagram. The chain oil flow can be regulated by using the oil regulation nut (1). This is to be found next to the clutch under the machine. In order to regulate the oil flow use a screwdriver and turn the screw either left or right to increase the flow “MAX” or diminish it “MIN”. The words “MAX” and “MIN” are to be found under the tool. Ensure the oil reservoir is topped up every time fuel is added.

6.4.6. PROTECTION AGAINST KICKBACK

Kickback is the most important danger of these tools. This tool is equipped with an automatic brake which stops the chain turning if there is kickback while the work is being carried out.

6.4.7. CHECKING THE SAFETY BRAKE

Put the engine at full power during 1-2 seconds and push the brake lever forwards. The chain should immediately stop while the engine is still running.English 36/148 English 37/148 If the chain delays in stopping or it does not stop, please see the customer service. Check the chain brake before each use and make sure it is sharp. There is a greater risk of personal injury if the safety devices are not used, maintenance is inadequate or the bar or chain are not placed in the correct position. The machine must only be used for the purpose for which it has been designed. Any other purpose could be dangerous, causing damage to the machine. Keep body away from the chain of the chainsaw when the engine is running. In you slip or fall onto the ground or into a hole, immediately let go of the throttle lever. Do not solely rely on the safety devices that are integrated on this tool. Do not use the machine if you are feeling tired, unwell or under the effects of medication, intoxicating substances or alcohol. It is necessary to pay special attention to the precautions if the machine is used during or just after rain, since the ground could be slippery. Do not cut above shoulder height This product must never be used at night, in foggy conditions or when visibility is limited and it is difficult to see the working area clearly. Lack of sleep, fatigue or physical tiredness can cause accidents and harm. Do not use the tool for longer than 10 minutes at a time and rest for 10-20 minutes between sessions. Never leave the machine running without surveillance. Do not allow anyone to enter the area in which you are working. This work perimeter is 15 meters and is a danger zone. Never start or operate the engine in a closed room or building. The exhaust gases contain dangerous carbon monoxide. If the concentration of gases produced by inadequate ventilation, remove from the work area everything that impedes the flow of clean air for better ventilation and do not return to work in the area unless you have properly ventilated the area and be sure that ventilation is enough that it does not happen again. A firm grip will help to reduce kickback and will help to keep the tool under control. Take extreme care when cutting branches or young trees, small splinters could get caught in the chain and then be sent flying in the air, hitting or unbalancing you. When cutting a branch which is under tension, pay special attention to the possibility of the branch bouncing back, in order to avoid being hit by the branch when the tension is freed. Check the tree to ensure there are no dead branches that can fall whilst you are working. To avoid possible accidents, make sure the cutting area is kept clear of obstacles at all times.

7. USING THE MACHINEEnglish

38/148 English 39/148 When using the chainsaw, do not allow the tip of the bar to touch any other tree trunk or obstacle that may be found near the area where the cutting is being carried out. Cutting with the engine at high revolutions. Keep the chain sharpened by following the instructions contained in this manual. Never touch parts which reach high temperatures during the starting up or the operating of the engine such as, for example, the exhaust silencer, the high voltage cable or the spark plug. Always carry out adjustments with the machine on a flat and clear surface. Do not use any accessory with the machine, apart from those recommended by our company, as this could result in serious injury to both the operator of the machine and the people near. It could also damage the machine. It is necessary to take care not to drop the machine or allow it to bang against any obstacle.

7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE

While working always hold the saw firmly with both hands on the handles. Hold the front handle with left hand and right hand rear as a right-handed or left-handed. ATTENTION! To reduce the risk of loss of control and damage (including death) to the user or people nearby, never use the saw with one hand.

7.2. CUTTING WITH THE CHAINSAW

In order to acquire experience, we recommend you practice in a comfortable position with small logs before embarking on important tasks. Follow the safety regulations that are indicated in the manual. This tool must only be used for cutting wood Cutting other types of material is forbidden. This tool must not be used as a lever to lift, move or split objects. Do not force the tool while cutting. Apply only slight pressure downwards while the tool is running at full power. The weight of the tool is enough to be able to make the cut. When the chain gets stuck in the cut, do not try to pull the chainsaw out while it is still running. Stop the chainsaw, by putting the ignition switch at the “O” position and use a lever to free the tool.

The felling of trees is a dangerous task due to the danger of the tree or any of its branches falling onto you and causing injury. Before embarking on any felling operation, please follow these steps:

1. Decide in which direction the tree is going to

fall (A). Take into account the wind direction, theEnglish 38/148 English 39/148 inclination of the tree, its width and its branches, as this could affect the direction in which the tree falls.

2. Check there are no other trees, branches or

obstacles which could be in the way of the tree when it falls.

3. Check the position in which the tree will be once it

has fallen, in order to ba able to embark on the cutting tasks.

around the tree. Make sure you are going to work in a stable position and establish an easy and clear escape which allows you to run away if the tree falls in an unexpected direction. The safety distance must be equivalent to at least two lengths of the tree.

5. Remove the first branches. Firstly remove the

lower branches which make the task more difficult. Remember that you must never cut the branches that are above shoulder height. Remember to never stand directly behind the tool.

6. Make a guiding cut (B) in the shape of a wedge,

the size of a quarter of the width of the tree (1/4d) on the side on where you want the tree to fall (E). To do this, make a top cut of 60º and a bottom cut of 35º. This will ensure the two cuts will form an angle of 90º, it is important that the two cuts make a perfect joint, so they can act as a hinge in the appropriate direction of the fall. Suggestion: Before going on to the next step add fuel and chain oil, in order to ensure the tool does not stop unexpectedly during the tasks that follow.

7. Start the felling cut (C) from the opposite side to

the guiding cut and at a slightly higher level (3cm) than the bottom of the guiding cut (B).

8. When you have cut a quarter of the tree, stop the

tool and introduce a felling wedge (A) in order to avoid the tree leaning backwards and trapping the tool or causing the tree to fall in an unwanted direction.

9. Continue with the felling cut (C) until you are within

3 cm of the guiding cut. This part of the wood is left uncut, so it can act as a hinge and direct the trunk towards the desired place. 10.The tree will fall in the direction of the guiding cut “E”. If it does not fall, use the wedge in order to force the tree to fall. As soon as the tree starts to fall, back away diagonally from the tree, in order to be at a safe distance when the tree touches the ground. It is important to keep away because when it touches the ground, you could be hurt by branches and splinters flying around or by roots from the ground.English 40/148 English 41/148 When you fell a tree, make sure you warn everyone who is near the danger. Watch out the trunk does not roll away when it falls. Ensure your feet are firmly stabilised. Do not stand on the trunk which is being cut. Especially when working on a slope, stand on the highest part of the slope to ensure the trunk will never roll towards you. Follow the instructions in the safety instructions in order to avoid the possible kickback of the tool. 7.4. CUTTING A TRUNK WHICH IS SUPPORTED ON THE GROUND When the tree trunk is totally supported on the ground, saw downwards until you get halfway then roll the trunk round and cut from the opposite side. If the tree trunk we are going to cut is supported at each end (saw the drawing) we should first make a cut on the top third of the trunk (1) and then cut the rest of the trunk from underneath (2). This way, we will avoid the internal tension blocking the chain and the chain bar. If we are going to make a cut on a tree trunk that is supported at one end with the other end in the air (Section B of the drawing) we should proceed in the opposite way. We will cut a third from underneath (1) and we will then finish the cut from above (2). 7.5. CUTTING THE BRANCHES OFF A FALLEN TREE It is important to check whether the branch is bent and under tension or if it is in the air. A bent branch will have internal tension and it could spring up when you cut it. To cut a bent branch, make a cut through a ¼ of the branch towards the direction where it is bent and then cut the part that remains from the other side. This way, you will avoid the tension closing the cut and blocking the chain.

7.6. CUTTING A BRANCH OFF A TREE

To cut one that is not touching the ground or that is on a vertical tree always proceed by first cutting a ¼ of the width of the branch from below (1) and then the remaining ¾ from above (2).English 40/148 English 41/148 This way will ease the opening of the cut for the tool and it will avoid the branch tearing and harming the tree.

8.1. CARE AND MAINTENANCE AFTER USE

Carry out the following operations when you have finished the cutting procedure to ensure that the machine is kept in a perfect condition.

8.1.1. CHAIN OIL LUBRICATION HOLE

Unassembled the guide bar and check that the oil hole (1) is not blocked.

8.1.2. SHARPENING OF THE CHAIN TEETH

WARNING! : An improperly sharpened chain increases the risk of rebound and vibrations increasing the risk of injury! To ensure a smooth and safe cut keep the teeth on the chain sharpened. The cutting teeth need to be sharpened when:

• Oncutting,sawdustappearsinsteadofsplinters.

• Whensawing,extraeffortisnecessary.

• Thecuttingpathisnotstraight.

• Thereisanincreaseinfuelconsumption. When you sharpen the teeth, make sure you are wearing heavy duty gloves. Make sure the tool chain is safely attached. Make sure the engine is stopped. Use a special rounded chainsaw file of the correct size for the chain. Place the file on the cutting tooth between the cutting edge (A) and the depth gauge (B); and apply light pressure forwards keeping an angle of 30º filing the cutting edge of the tooth. First file the teeth on one side, always using outward movements and maintaining the 30º angle, and then file teeth on the other side. Check the height of the safety gauge (C), which should be around 0.6 mm. If the height of “C” is too low, it will mean the chain will not cut well and if it is too high, it will mean the chain will “bite” the wood too much, causing the engine to overwork. Check the length of the cutting teeth. All the teeth must be of the same length. If necessary, file the long teeth until they are all of the same length.

8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICEEnglish

42/148 English 43/148 8.2. OTHERS Carry out periodical inspections with the aim of ensuring a safe and efficient performance from the tool. For a complete inspection of the tool, please contact your distributor. Keep the machine clean, especially the areas near the gas tank and air filter. Before adjusting or repairing the machine, make sure the engine is stopped and the cover of the spark plug has been removed. Use the appropriate parts in order to obtain a safe and adequate performance from the product. These parts can be obtained from your distributor. The use of other accessories could can cause potential risks, injuries to the operator or damage to the machine.

The obstruction of the air filter will cause the performance of the engine to decrease. If necessary, inspect and clean this element. If any damage or alteration is observed, replace it with a new one. To clean the dirt on the filter open the cover unscrew the lid and remove the filter. The dust on the surface of the filter can be removed by hitting a corner of the filter against a hard surface. To clean the dirt inside, separate both parts of the filter by using a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing, and brush them with petrol. If compressed air is used always blow from the inside, to ensure better cleaning. To assemble the two halves of the cleaner, place one part against the other and press the edges until they click.

8.2.2. ADJUSTMENT OF THE CARBURETOR

Carburetor regulation is complicated and we recommend it is done by a person with experience or by the customer service. Do not adjust the carburetor unless it is necessary. If any problems with the carburetor are observed, see your distributor. The incorrect adjustment of the element could damage the engine, as well as causing the warranty to be cancelled.

The fuel tank is provided with a filter (1). This element is located at the extreme end of the fuel hose and it can be removed fuel opening with the help of a piece of wire bent into a hook or similar device. Inspect the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter the fuel tank. The obstruction of the filter will make it difficult to start the engine or it will produce abnormalities in the performance of the engine. Inspect the fuel filter and if it is dirty, replace it with a new one. If the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing out with petrol.English 42/148 English 43/148

The oil tank is provided with a filter (2). This element is located at the extreme end of the oil hose and it can be removed oil opening with the help of a piece of wire bent into a hook or similar device. Inspect the oil filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter the oil tank. The obstruction of the filter will make it difficult to start the engine or it will produce abnormalities in the performance of the engine. Inspect the oil filter and if it is dirty, replace it with a new one. If the inside of the oil tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing out with petrol.

8.2.5. CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG

Starting up or ignition failures are frequently caused by a dirty spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that the spark plug light is within the correct interval. (0.6-0.7mm).

8.2.6. CLEANING THE CYLINDER REFRIGERATION

VENTS The cylinder refrigeration vents are responsible for cooling the piston and the cylinder by means of the entry of air. The vents must always be kept clean, free from material that could block air from entering. Dirty vents mean that the engine will overheat, causing it to seize. Check and clean the cylinder vents periodically.

8.2.7. BAR CHAIN MAINTENANCE

Invert the bar periodically, in order to avoid it wearing out unevenly. The edges of the bar rail must always be kept square. Check the wear and the shape of the edges. If you observe that the edges have lost their shape, or a side wing is deformed, replace the bar. When unassembling the chain bar, remove the sawdust from the bar (2) and the oil hole (1). Oil the chain sprocket.English 44/148 English 45/148 If the engine does not start, check the engine compression and whether the spark plug gives sparks. Depending on the symptoms, we provide you with a series of probable causes and the solutions: Compression pressure is normal Yes Yes Lack of compression pressure The engine stops The spark from the spark plug is normal Yes
