I and anti-piercing insert.

Wear protective helmet in places where there can be falling objects.

Wear protective goggles or face screens!

Use protections against noises; for example

noise reduction ear guards or earplugs.

The use of protections for the ear requests much more attention and caution, because the perception of danger audio signals (screamings, alarms, etc.) is limited.

Wear anti-cut gloves.

Oleo-Mac offers a complete range of safety equipments.

Chain tensioning

Always check the chain tension before using the chainsaw and after making the first few cuts. Regularly check the chain tension when using the tool. After starting to use the tool, new chains may stretch considerably; this is to be considered normal during the running-in period.

WARNING - Always maintain the correct

chain tension. An excessively slack chain increases the risk of kickback and the chain may ride out of the bar channel; these events can cause injury the operator and damage to the chain. An excessively slack chain will result in rapid wear of chain, bar and sprocket. On the contrary, an over tensioned chain will tend to overload the motor with resulting damage. A correctly tensioned chain provides the best cutting characteristics, optimal safety, and

long working life of the chain. The working life of the chain depends on correct tensioning and correct lubrication.

WARNING - Unplug the power cord from the mains socket outlet before

performing maintenance work. Always wear work gloves during assembly procedures. Use only bars and chains recommended by the manufacturer (page 33).

- Pull the cover (Fig.4) towards the front grip to check that the chain brake is not engaged.

- Turn the knob (A, Fig.5) anti-clockwise and remove the guard (B).

- Ensure chain tensioner disk (C) on bar (E) is set to the correct position; turn it anticlockwise if necessary (Fig.6).

- Fit the chain (D, Fig.7) with the cutting edges facing the direction of run and insert it into the channel on the bar.

- To assemble the bar (E, Fig.8) and chain (D), align them with sprocket (F) and stud (G).

Wrap the chain around the sprocket and then fit the bar over the stud. Turn disk (C) clockwise to pre-tension the chain.

- Refit the guard (B, Fig.10) inserting the guide

(L, Fig.9) into its location and lightly tightening the knob (A, Fig.10). Do not tighten the knob fully; first, you must tension the chain. While tightening the knob rotate ring (H) back and forth to cause it to engage correctly with disk (C) on the bar. NOTE: chain (D) is not yet tensioned.

- Turn the ring (H, Fig.10) until chain (D) nearly touches the lower edge of bar (E).

- Check chain tension by lifting it with your hand (Fig.11). Chain tension is correct when it can be lifted approximately 2-4 mm clear of the guide bar. The chain must be adjusted so that can be moved freely by hand.

WARNING - The throttle lever must be pressed before the chain can be rotated.

Check that the power cord is NOT plugged into the mains socket outlet.

- Fully tighten the chain guard fixing knob

(A, Fig.12) while keeping the tip of the bar raised.

5. STARTING

OIL FILLING AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The saw chain is automatically lubricated during use by a pump which normally requires no maintenance. The oil flow is pre-regulated by the manufacturer to ensure a sufficient oil delivery even under heavy working conditions.

During cutting of thin timber a possible oil dripping is normal.

- Always wipe off around the filler hole before unscrewing the cap (A, Fig. 13) so that no dirt enters the oil reservoir.

- During work watch the oil level (B).

- Add oil whenever the oil level in the reservoir drops to the notch of the minimum.

- After the filling, operate the motor 2 or 3 times to restore correct oil delivery.

- In case of faults do not try to repair the machine yourself, but apply to your authorized dealer.

Correct chain lubrication during the cutting phase reduces wear to a minimum between the chain and bar thus prolonging life. Always use a good quality oil.

WARNING - Never use waste oil.

Always use biodegradable lubrificant

(eco-lube Oleo-Mac p.n. 001001548 (5ℓ) -

001001549 (1ℓ)) which is specific for bar and chain and also respectful towards nature, operator health and electric saw’s parts.

WARNING - Remove the plug for connection to the mains before carrying out any operation on the cutting equipment.

Before starting make sure the chain is not obstructed.

When the chainsaw is running, grip the front handle firmly with your left hand and the back handle with your right hand

(Fig. 14).

- Stop the motor before setting the chain saw down.

- Do not lean forward and do not cut above shoulder height; gripping the saw at the top of the handle makes it difficult to control and counteract kickback.

- Do not use in trees or on steps, this is extremely dangerous.

- Ensure that the cable does not snag on parts of the tree when the machine is in operation.

- Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair or replace parts as necessary.

- Lef t-handers should follow these instructions too. Keep a proper cutting stance.

Over exposure to vibrations can result in blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons suffering with blood circulation problems.

Seek medical attention if you experience physical symptoms such numbness, lack of feeling, reduction in normal strength, changes in the colour of the skin. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.

CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK

WARNING - Before connecting the plug to the network check that the voltage corresponds to the technical data shown below.

Verify that the dimensions of the extension cable are according to the specifications, otherwise a drop in tension may occur causing a consequent irreparable damage to the motor.

The earth plate is not necessary since the electric saw motor is double insulated.
