[. . . ] Mount the bar on the bar retaining screw pushing pushing it as far backward towards the pinion it as far backward towards the pinion as possible. Oil the chain, then position it over the pinion, making it slide into the bar guide groove, beginning with the upper part. Control that the sharp side of the cutting teeth face in a frontward direction on the upper part of the bar; Set the chain tensioner pin in the chain tensioner pin housing. Mount the chain cover making sure that the drive teeth of the chain are engaged in the pinion and in the guide groove. Close the bar retaining nuts, screwing by 5b. Screw the bar retaining knob loosely tightened. To spread the chain screw the chain tensioner tensioner screws in a clockwise direction, to knob in a clockwise direction, to loosen tension, screw loosen tension, screw in an anti-clockwise in an anti-clockwise direction (when performing this direction (when performing this operation operation maintain the bar nose raised upwards) maintain the bar nose raised upwards) 7 Spread the chain until the tension is correct; that is, when the chain is pulled upwards, the drive tooth rise to the same level as the bar. (the chain must never droop on the underside of the bar) 8a. Tighten the bar retaining nuts using an 8b. Tighten the bar retaining knob strongly. Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload the motor and cause damage, insufficient tension can provoke chain derailing, whereas a chain tightened correctly provides the best cutting characteristics and prolonged work life. Check the tension regularly because the chain length tends to stretch with use (especially when the chain is new; after the first assembly, the chain tension must be controlled after 5 minutes machine operation); in any ENGLISH - 6 case do not tighten the chain immediately after use, but wait until it cools down. In cases where the loosened chain needs to be adjusted, always unscrew the bar retaining nuts / knob before adjusting the chain tensioning screw/knob ; adjust the tension and tighten the bar retaining nuts /knob accordingly. START-UP AND ARREST Start-up: grip both handles firmly, release the chain brake lever, press and maintain the switch block pressed in, then press the switch (at this point the switch block can be released). 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 Arrest: 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. Insufficient lubrication will provoke chain breaking and can cause serious and even mortal injury. Bar and chain lubrication is performed by an automatic pump. If your machine is equipped with an oil pump adjustment knob (optional) the chain lubrication can be adjusted as shown in the illustration (fig. 1), according to the type of cutting operation in hand (dry wood ­ more oil, green wood less oil, long bar- more oil, short bar - less oil). Take great care to ensure that the chain is always sufficiently lubricated by never closing the pump completely. 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 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 adequate viscosity: the oil must adhere well and guarantee good running properties in both winter and summer. [. . . ] The felling cut that provokes the tree fall, is performed at 3 to 5 cm above the lower part of the directional felling cut line, finishing at a distance of 1/10 of the trunk from the notch. Remain on the left hand side of the tree and cut using the chain pulling method and the spiked bumper. Check that the tree does not move in a direction other than that predicted for the fall. As soon as possible insert a felling lever or wedge into the cut. [. . . ]
