2. Set the on/off switch (18) to On (the I position). Make sure the brake is ON when starting for safety, by pushing the front guard forward. 3. When the machine is cold first pull out the choke control (18) to the CHOKE position. (Fully withdrawn). Note. Once the choke control has been pulled out, it cannot be pushed back to the run position. 4. Depress the priming bulb (29) 6 times or when the bulb is full of fuel. Note. This is not required if engine is warm or is being restarted. It returns automatically when the trigger switch is operated. 5. Hold the chainsaw securely on the ground and pull vigorously on the recoil starter (13). Repeat (at least 15 times) until the engine “kicks” (attempts to start). 6. With the lock off switch (20) held depressed slightly pull on the trigger switch (19) and then release it. The choke control will click back one position. 7. Pull the recoil starter (13) again and restart the engine. Allow the engine to warm up. 8. When the engine is warm first depress the lock off switch then pull fully on the trigger switch for a short burst. The choke control will fully retract to the RUN position, your chainsaw is now ready for use. 9. When restarting the engine when it is still warm, set the choke control to the START position. Hold the chainsaw securely on the ground and pull vigorously on the recoil starter (13). Allow the engine to run for a few moments with the trigger switch pulled slightly. 10. When the engine is fully warm, pull on the trigger switch. The choke control will fully retract to the RUN position. 11. When ready to start cutting, release the brake, by pulling the front guard back. Stopping the chainsaw 1. Release the trigger switch. 2. Set the on/off switch (18) to Off (the O position). Checking the oil supply Run the engine at medium speed and check that the chain splatters a thin line of oil which can be seen on the ground when the bar is pointed downwards. This is normal. If there is no line of chain oil, stop the motor immediately and investigate the cause. The oil tank could be empty or the oil supply to the chain blocked. This may require removal of the bar and checking that the upper oil hole in the bar is clear of any blockages. Adjusting the carburettor The carburettor is factory set and should not require adjustment. Changes in operating conditions may require fine tuning of the carburettor. Proceed as follows. 1. Stop the engine and screw in both the H and L needles (15) using screwdriver (28). Do not force. 2. Turn the H screw (15) back 3/4 of a turn. 3. Turn the L screw (16) back 1-1/2 turns. 4. Start the engine and let it warm up with the trigger switch half pulled in. When the engine is warm, release the trigger switch. 5. Turn the L screw (17) slowly clockwise until the idling speed is at its maximum then turn the screw back (anticlockwise) 1/4 of a turn. 6. Turn the idling adjusting screw (T) (14) anticlockwise until the chain does not turn. 7. If the idling speed is too slow, turn screw (T) clockwise. 8. Make a test cut and adjust screw (15) for best cutting power, not for maximum speed. Chain brake The chain brake operates automatically in the event of kickback. As the guide bar (1) kicks up, the wrist of the operator’s hand on the top handle knocks against the front guard (8) causing the front guard to move forward and activating the chain brake. 1. The chain brake can be operated manually by moving the front guard forward. 2. To release the chain brake, pull the front guard towards the top handle until a “click” is heard. CAUTION. Check that the chain brake is operating correctly each time the chainsaw is used. Bucking spikes The Chainsaw has bucking spikes (6) to assist with cutting and reduce the chance of kickback, use them as follows: H L T Operation WARNINGS. • Always follow the safety instructions given at the front of this manual. This chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It must not be used for cutting other types of material. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. • Do not attach the chainsaw to a fixed stand. • Do not attach any devices to the chainsaw other than those specified by the manufacturer. Helpful hints • Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running the engine at full throttle. • If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting the guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so that the saw chain is freed. While cutting, always: • Run the chainsaw motor at full revs. This makes the job safer, as there is less chance of pull-in or kick-back. • Position your body to the left of the chainsaw so if it kicks back uncontrollably, it goes over your right shoulder, never stand in the cutting line of the saw. • Keep a firm grip with your left hand on the front handle, with your thumb securely below the handle. • The swivel of your wrist in a kick-back situation will activate the chain brake. • Make sure th...
