4. Configuració
4.1 Guide Bar and Chain Assembly
The guide bar and chain are designed for tool-free assembly. Open the sprocket cover by loosening the side-mounted wing screw. Carefully place the chain around the sprocket and guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are oriented correctly. Then, position the guide bar onto the mounting studs and replace the sprocket cover, securing it with the wing screw.
4.2 Tensió de la cadena
Adjust the chain tension using the integrated tensioning ring located on the outside of the sprocket cover. Turn the ring until the chain is snug against the guide bar but can still be pulled freely by hand. Proper tension is crucial for safe and efficient cutting. The chain should not sag on the underside of the guide bar.

4.3 Ompliment d'oli
The chainsaw features an automatic chain lubrication system. Before first use and regularly during operation, ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chain oil. It is recommended to use organic chain oil. The oil level indicator (sight glass) allows you to monitor the oil level conveniently. Refill the oil through the screw cap on top of the unit. Never operate the chainsaw without sufficient chain oil.
4.4 Connexió a l'alimentació
Connect the chainsaw to a suitable power outlet using an appropriate extension cord. Utilize the cable strain relief feature on the rear handle to secure the connection, preventing accidental disconnection during operation. To do this, form a tight loop in the extension cord and push it through the designated opening on the rear handle.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Engegada de la motoserra
To start the chainsaw, simultaneously press the safety switches on the rear handle and then engage the main power switch. Release the safety switches once the chainsaw is running. The mechanical run-out brake will stop the chain automatically when the main power switch is released.
5.2 Tècniques de tall
Always maintain a firm grip on both handles. The front handle assists in making horizontal and vertical cuts safely and precisely. Use the felling claw to stabilize the chainsaw against the wood, providing leverage and allowing for controlled, effortless cuts. Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide bar to prevent kickback.

6. Manteniment
6.1 Automatic Chain Lubrication
The automatic chain lubrication system ensures continuous oil supply to the chain and guide bar. Regularly check the oil level using the sight glass and refill as needed. Adequate lubrication is vital for the longevity and performance of the chain and guide bar.
6.2 Neteja
After each use, disconnect the chainsaw from the power supply and clean it thoroughly. Remove sawdust, wood chips, and debris from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing. Ensure ventilation openings are clear. Do not use water to clean electrical components.
6.3 Emmagatzematge
When not in use, store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Always apply the provided guide bar protection cover to prevent accidental contact with the sharp chain and protect the guide bar from damage.
