This chain saw may cause serious injury. [. . . ] Thoroughly clean the trunk foot ­ sand, stones and other foreign objects make the saw chain edgeless or may damage it. Consider the state of health of the tree ­ be careful with trunks with damages or deadwood (droughty, rotten or dead wood). Stop the engine and wear protective gloves whenever working on the guide bar and on the saw chain!Slightly lift the guide bar tip and turn the chain stretching screw (15) clock wisely until the correct chain tension is reached. The saw chain is correctly stretched when it can be lifted in the centre of the chain guide by appr. Turn the chain stretching screw anti-clockwise when the saw chain is stretched too much. Cut a kerf with the saw of approximately one third of the tree diameter into the trunk. First of all place the horizontal cut and then as secondly a cut from top in an angle of 45°. Shout the warning "Caution" or "Tree is falling" before starting the fell cut. now saw on the opposite side of the trunk a horizontal chopping cut. This cut should be placed a bit higher (appr. 4 cm) than the horizontal cut of the kerf. If the tree starts falling ahead of time pull out the chain saw immediately out of the cut and step back or to the side. Check the saw chain tension: before start of work after the first steps during sawing regularly all 10 minutes Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient lubrication you can influence the durability. Please observe the following: a new saw chain must be rest retched more frequently. in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it expands and needs to be reclamped. After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge in the saw chain. If chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again immediately. Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike in direction of a carton or paper on the ground. Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain. If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil automatic works faultless. If there is no oil track despite full oil tank: Clean the oil flow channel (19). [. . . ] In the cases below the carburetor (idle speed) has to be corrected: - Speed too high (saw chain continues to move in idle speed) - Erratic running or lack of acceleration (idle speed too low) - Adjustment to weather conditions and temperatures Contact a specialist workshop and have the carburetor adjustment done. Clean the chain saw thouroughly after each application so that the faultless function is kept. Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth. water , solvents and polishing agents shall not be applied. [. . . ]
