ASSEMBLY

1

ATTENTION: Do not tighten the lock without the accessory shaft inserted. Otherwise, the locking lever may overtighten the drive shaft input and damage it.

INSTALLATION OF THE BAR CHAIN / GUIDE SAW

ATTENTION: When handling the saw chain, always wear work gloves to protect yourself from sharp edges.

1. Remove the retaining nuts from the bar and screw in. Then remove the sprocket cover. (Fig. 3A)
2. Prepare the chain and bar.
3. Pass the saw chain over the drive wheel with the cutting edges of the chain pointing in the direction of rotation (Figure 3B).
4. Adjust the tension adjustment screw to allow for insertion of the bar (Fig. 3C). Make sure it follows the groove in the guide bar and adjusts the tension adjustment screw (Fig. 3D) so that the chain is tightened.
5. Install the sprocket cover and tighten the bar retaining nuts and screw (Fig. 3A).

SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Proper saw chain tension is extremely important! and should be checked before starting and during any cutting operation. Taking the time to make the necessary adjustments to the saw chain will result in better cutting performance and extend the life of the chain.

ATTENTION: A new chain and bar must be readjusted after only 5 cuts. This is normal during the running-in period, and the interval between future adjustments will be quickly extended.

TO ADJUST THE TENSION OF THE SAW CHAIN

1. Loosen the retaining nuts on the bar so that they are tightened by hand.
2. Hold the tip of the bar upwards, use the screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw on the guide bar clockwise (to the left) to tighten the chain. Turning the screw counterclockwise (clockwise) loosens the chain on the guide bar.
3. After you have made the adjustment, move the saw by chaining the chain back and forth on the guide bar to ensure that the chain moves freely and is in the proper sprocket/wheel mesh. Never move the chain with unprotected hands or without gloves.

ATTENTION: If the chain is difficult to turn or if it is attached to the guide bar, there is too much tension and has to be readjusted. To decrease the tension, slowly turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise (clockwise). Move the chain back and forth until it moves freely.

1. Hold the nose up, tighten the bar retaining nuts firmly.

OIL THE CHAIN

The saw chain is self-lubricating. The oil is spread over the chain as it is used. Make sure that there is an adequate amount of oil in the oil tank. Always use chain and sprocket oil or similar saw chain oil.

PRODUCTUSE

START UP

TRIM / PRUNE A TREE

Do not operate the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or other unstable work surface, or in any uncomfortable position. You may lose control of the tool that can cause serious injury. Do not extend your arms above your shoulders when using the saw. Seek professional help if you are facing conditions beyond your ability.

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting branches from a living tree. Make sure you are in a stable and secure position. Keep your feet apart. Divide your weight evenly across both feet.

TO TRIM A BRANCH (PRUNE)

1. Make the first cut six inches from the trunk of the tree at the bottom of the branch. Use the top of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut a third of the diameter of the branch.
2. Then place it two to four inches (50-100mm) further away from the branch and make the second cut above the branch. Continue cutting until the branch is cut.
3. Make the third cut as close as possible to the trunk of the tree at the bottom of the heel/end of the branch. Use the top of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut one third through the heel diameter.
4. Make the fourth cut directly over the third cut. Heels to reach the third cut, which will eliminate the heel of the branch.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORKING POSITION. Maintain proper position and balance, and do not overextend yourself. Wear safety goggles, non-slip shoes and rubber gloves when cutting. Hold the tool firmly with both hands and turn on the tool. Always hold the tool as shown in the pictures, with one hand on the handle of the tool body and the other on the front handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
2. PRUNE NEW SHOOTS. Make a wide brushing/sweeping motion, using the blade through the twigs is more effective. A slight downward inclination of the blade in the direction of movement gives the best cut.
3. LEVELED / LEVELED HEDGES. To obtain exceptionally even hedges, you can stretch a piece of string along the extension of the hedges as a guide.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Use only original parts, accessories and manufacturer's couplings. Failure to do so may result in injury, tool malfunction and may void the warranty.

ATTENTION: Repairs require extreme care and knowledge and should only be carried out by a qualified technician. For repairs, we suggest that you return the product to the nearest authorized service center for repair. When carrying out repairs, only use identical spare parts.

ATTENTION: Make sure the engine is completely shut down before performing any maintenance or repair. This will eliminate any potential risk.

• You can make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, contact your authorized repair agent.
• Before any maintenance or adjustment, deactivate the machine by removing the power supply.
  After extending the new cutting line or cleaning, checking the blade, always return the product to its normal operating position before starting any operation.
  After each use, clean the product with a soft, dry cloth.
• Check all nuts, bolts and screws at frequent intervals to ensure that the product is in good working condition. Any damaged parts must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

MAINTENANCE OF THE GUIDE BAR

ATTENTION: Proper maintenance of the guide bar is essential for the good performance of your tool.

Incorrect placement and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge adjustments cause most guide bar problems, resulting in uneven wear of the bar. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which can cause the chain to make noise and difficulty in making straight cuts. Insufficient lubrication of the guide bar and operation of the saw with a chain that is too tight will contribute to rapid wear of the bar. To help minimize bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar is recommended.

BAR WEAR

Rotate the guide bar frequently at regular intervals (such as after 5 hours of use) to ensure even wear on the top and bottom of the bar.

BAR GROOVES

The bar grooves (or the rails that support and transport the chain) should be cleaned if the tool has been heavily used or if the saw chain appears dirty. The rails should be cleaned each time the chain is removed from the saw.

TO CLEAN THE GUIDE BAR RAILS

1. Remove the sprocket cover, bar and chain. See Replacing / Installing the Saw Chain.
2. Use a screwdriver, spatula, wire brush, or similar instrument to clean debris from the rails on the guide bar. This will keep the oil lines open to provide proper lubrication to the bar and chain.

1. Reinstall the bar, chain and bar bolt retaining nuts. See Replace saw chain / Installation.

OIL LINES

The oil lines in the bar pad must be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. This can be done using a soft wire small enough to be inserted into the oil drain hole.
