2. Seadistamine ja kokkupanek
2.1 Lahtipakkimine ja ülevaatus
Carefully remove the chain saw and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. If any damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact your dealer.
2.2 Lati ja keti paigaldamine
- Veenduge, et ketipidur on vabastatud.
- Remove the chain cover nuts and chain cover.
- Asetage kett siduritrumli ja juhtplaadi ümber, veendudes, et lõiketerad on suunatud juhtplaadi ülaosas ettepoole.
- Paigaldage juhtplaat naastudele, joondades ketipinguti tihvti juhtplaadi auguga.
- Pange keti kate tagasi ja keerake mutrid käsitsi kinni.
- Adjust chain tension using the side access chain tensioner until the chain is snug but can still be pulled freely by hand.
- Pingutage keti katte mutrid täielikult.
2.3 Kütus ja ketiõli
This chain saw requires a specific fuel mixture and chain lubricant.
- Kütuse segu: Use a 50:1 ratio of high-quality 2-stroke engine oil to unleaded gasoline (minimum 89 octane). Mix thoroughly in a separate, approved fuel container.
- Ketiõli: Use a high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use waste oil or motor oil, as this can damage the chain and bar.
Fill the fuel tank and chain oil reservoir, ensuring not to overfill. Wipe up any spills immediately.

3. Kasutusjuhised
3.1 Mootori käivitamine (külmkäivitus)
- Place the chain saw on a firm, flat surface. Ensure the chain brake is engaged.
- Press the purge bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
- Liigutage õhuklapi hoob asendisse FULL CHOKE.
- Pull the starter handle firmly and quickly until the engine fires (usually 1-3 pulls). Do not pull the rope to its full extension.
- Once the engine fires, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
- Pull the starter handle again until the engine starts and runs.
- Once the engine is running, move the choke lever to the RUN position. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments.
- Enne lõikamistööde alustamist lülitage ketipidur välja.
3.2 Starting the Engine (Warm Start)
- Veenduge, et ketipidur oleks sisse lülitatud.
- Viige õhuklapi hoob RUN asendisse.
- Pull the starter handle firmly and quickly until the engine starts.
- Enne lõikamistööde alustamist lülitage ketipidur välja.
3.3 Lõikamistehnikad
Always maintain a firm grip with both hands on the chain saw handles. Stand with your feet apart for balance. Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide bar to prevent kickback.
- Jäsestamine: Remove branches from a fallen tree. Work from the bottom up, supporting the branch if necessary to prevent pinching.
- Tagastamine: Cut a fallen log into sections. Be aware of tension and compression in the wood to avoid pinching the bar.
4. Hooldus
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your chain saw.
4.1 Igapäevane kontroll
- Kontrollige keti pinget.
- Kontrollige keti teravust.
- Inspect the guide bar for wear or damage.
- Check chain oil flow.
- Puhastage õhufilter.
4.2 Keti teritamine
Terav kett on ohutu ja tõhusa lõikamise jaoks ülioluline. Kasutage ümmargust ketti file of the correct diameter (refer to chain specifications) and a filing guide. File all cutters to the same length and angle.
4.3 Õhufiltri puhastamine
Remove the air filter cover and clean the filter element. Wash foam filters with warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry completely before reinstallation. Replace damaged filters.
4.4 Süüteküünla ülevaatus
Remove the spark plug and inspect for fouling or wear. Clean or replace as necessary. Ensure the correct gap is set.
