• Allow the chain to reach full operating speed before beginning a cut.
• Do not force the chain through wood; let the chain do the work.

• Afilat: The 22LPX chain features full chisel cutters. Use a 3/16" round file for sharpening. Follow the Top-Plate Filing Indicators for correct angles. Sharpen all cutters evenly to maintain balance. A sharp chain cuts efficiently and reduces strain on the chainsaw.
• Depth Gauge Adjustment: After several sharpenings, check and file the depth gauges if necessary. Refer to a depth gauge tool for proper settings.
• Lubricació: Always use quality bar and chain oil. The LubriTec™ system helps, but consistent oil flow from the chainsaw is vital.
• Neteja: Regularly clean the chain, guide bar groove, and sprocket area to remove sawdust, sap, and debris. This prevents buildup that can impede chain movement and lubrication.
• Inspecció: Before each use, inspect the chain for damaged, cracked, or excessively worn cutters, drive links, and rivets. Replace the chain if any damage is found.

Resolució de problemes

Addressing common issues promptly can prevent further damage and ensure safe operation.

• Chain Does Not Cut Efficiently / Produces Fine Dust: The chain is likely dull. Sharpen the chain using a 3/16" file. Ensure depth gauges are set correctly.
• Vibració excessiva: Can be caused by improper chain tension (too loose), damaged chain components, or a worn drive sprocket. Check tension, inspect chain for damage, and examine the sprocket.
• Chain Derails: Usually due to incorrect chain tension (too loose) or a worn guide bar groove. Adjust tension or replace the guide bar if worn.
• Chain Overheats / Smokes: Insufficient lubrication or improper chain tension (too tight). Check bar and chain oil level and flow, and adjust chain tension.
