• Lift the bar and tighten the nuts.

• Turn the chain around the bar. If you feel you are too tense, please loosen the regulator. Sword Tensor Chain Central hole Sprocket 3-4 mm46 MOWER LUBRICATION

• Good lubrication can reduce the frictional force between the saw and the bar and thus extend the service life of your machine.

• Use a high quality professional lubricating oil.

• Do not use old or unknown oil to avoid causing a malfunction.

• In case of emergency, allow dynamo to be used to replace.

• Use Sae30 in summer.

• Use Sae10 in winter or when using the pruner to prune trees with a lot of resin. PRODUCT USE START UP Before starting operation, the battery must be installed in the machine. To start the machine:

1. Press the trigger release button with your thumb.

2. Pull the throttle trigger.

Once the throttle trigger is pulled, the trigger release is xed and you can release it. MAINTENANCE Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly. 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 qualied 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, please contact the Ofcial Technical Service.

• Before any maintenance or adjustment, deactivate the machine by removing the battery.

• 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.47

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 difculty in making straight cuts. Insufcient 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.

3. 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.48 TROUBLESHOOTING The table includes some common problems, their causes and solution.
