12 STARTING AND STOPPING THE CHAIN SAW (FIG. A)
WARNING: Keep body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the saw or
chain, or lean over past the chain line.
12.1
Starting the chain saw
▪
Make sure chain tension is at desired setting.
▪
Make sure the sprocket cover lock bolt (4) is tight to the chain cover.
▪
Make sure no objects or obstructions are in immediate vicinity which could come in
contact with the bar and chain. Fit the battery pack (9) into the chain saw.
▪
Depress the lock-off button (6) and pull the trigger switch (5).
▪
Press and hold the trigger switch (5), release the lock-off button (6) and continue to
squeeze the trigger switch for continued operation.
12.2
Stopping the chain saw
NOTE: It is normal for the chain to coast to a stop once the trigger switch is
released.
▪
Release the trigger switch (5) to stop the chain saw.
▪
Upon release of the trigger switch (5), the lock-off button (6) will be automatically reset to
the lock position.
13 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
13.1
Guide bar maintenance
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with chain that is too tight will contribute
to rapid bar wear. To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance procedures
are recommended:
▪
Thoroughly clean the guide bar and the guide groove with a brush and solvent.
▪
Replace the guide bar if the guide groove is damaged or worn and the saw chain has too
much lateral space.
▪
Tighten all accessible screws, if necessary.
Warning: Always wear protective gloves during maintenance operations. Do
not carry out maintenance when the engine is hot.
13.2
Chain sharpening
For the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be professionally
sharpened by the nearest professional service centre.
WARNING: Proper adjustment of the depth gauge is as important as proper
sharpening of the chain.
Warning: Never mount a new chain on a worn sprocket or self-aligning ring.
13.3
Chain maintenance
Chain tension (also see paragraph 10.1):
A slack chain may jump off the bar and cause serious or even fatal injury.
