E. START-UP AND STOPPING 1,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13
Start-up: grip both handles firmly, release
the chain brake lever whilst ensuring hand
is still on front handle, press and maintain
the switch block (fig E1) pressed in, then
press the switch (fig E2) (at this point the
switch block can be released).
Stopping: The machine will stop whenever
the switch is released. In the case where
the machine does not stop, activate the
chain brake, disconnect the cable from the
main line socket and take the machine to
the Authorised Service Centre.
F. BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION 3,6,7,8,9,12
ATTENTION! Insufficient lubrication will
provoke chain breaking and can cause
serious and even fatal injury.
Bar and chain lubrication is performed by
an automatic pump.
Refer to “Maintenance” for indications on
ensuring that the chain oil is sufficiently
distributed.
Choice of chain oil
Always use new oil only (special type for
chains) with adequate viscosity: the oil
must adhere well and guarantee good
running properties in both winter and
summer. If chain oil is not available, EP 90
transmission oil can be used.
Never use waste oil because this is this
harmful to health, the machine and the
environment. Make sure that the oil is
suitable for the temperature of the
environment where the tool will be used:
For temperatures under 0°C certain oils
become thicker, overloading the pump and
causing damage. Contact your Authorised
Service Centre for advice on oil choice.
Filling oil tank
Unscrew the oil tank cap, and fill the tank
taking care not to spill any oil (if this occurs
clean the machine carefully) and then
screw the cap back on tightly.
G. MAINTENANCE 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13
ATTENTION! In cases where work
environments are particularly dirty or dusty,
the operations described must be
performed more frequently than mentioned
in the instructions.
Before each use
Check that the chain oil pump functions
correctly: direct the bar towards a clear
surface at a distance of about 20
centimetres; after the machine has run for
about a minute, the surface should show
clear traces of oil (fig.1).
Check that excessive strength is not
needed for activating and deactivating the
chain brake. Also check that it is not
activated too easily and that it is not
blocked. Then check chain brake function
as follows: release the chain brake, grip the
machine correctly and start up the machine,
activate the chain brake by pushing the
front hand guard forward with the left wrist
or arm but without removing the hand from
the handle (fig.2). If the chain brake is
working correctly, the chain should be
stopped immediately.
Check that the chain is sharpened correctly,
in good working condition and that the
tension is correct. If the chain is irregularly
worn, or if the cutting teeth are only 3 mm
long, the chain must be replaced (fig.3).
Clean the air vents regularly to prevent
motor overheating (fig 4).
Check that the switch and switch block
function correctly (to be performed with the
chain brake released): press the switch and
the switch block and ensure that they return
to idle position as soon as they are
released; check that it is impossible to
press the switch without activating the
switch block.
Check that the chain catcher and the right
hand guard are in correct condition without
any visible faults such as damaged
material.
