4.2 Kraftstoff-Öl-Gemisch

This chainsaw operates on a 2-cycle engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher, mixed with a high-quality 2-cycle engine oil at a Verhältnis 50:1 (2.6 oz of oil per 1 gallon of gasoline). Do not use E85 fuel or automotive oil.

• Kraftstoff immer in einem separaten, zugelassenen Kraftstoffbehälter mischen.
• Shake the mixture thoroughly before pouring into the chainsaw's fuel tank.
• Fill the bar and chain oil reservoir with high-quality bar and chain lubricant. Do not use used oil or motor oil.

4.3 Bar and Chain Installation (if not pre-assembled)

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Kettenbremse gelöst ist.
2. Remove the side cover by loosening the two captive bar nuts.
3. Place the chain around the clutch drum, ensuring the cutting edges face forward on the top of the bar.
4. Fit the guide bar onto the bar studs, aligning the chain drive links with the groove in the guide bar.
5. Replace the side cover, ensuring the chain tensioner pin engages with the hole in the guide bar. Lightly tighten the bar nuts.
6. Adjust chain tension using the side-access adjustment screw. The chain should be snug against the bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.
7. Fully tighten the bar nuts securely.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1 Starten der Kettensäge

Always start the chainsaw on a flat, stable surface, clear of obstructions. Ensure the chain brake is engaged before starting.

Kaltstartverfahren:

1. Aktivieren Sie die Kettenbremse.
2. Press the primer bulb 5-7 times until fuel is visible. Do not over-prime.
3. Pull the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position.
4. Place your right foot through the rear handle and hold the front handle firmly with your left hand.
5. Pull the starter cord with your right hand using short, sharp pulls until the engine briefly fires (usually 1-3 pulls).
6. Push the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
7. Continue pulling the starter cord until the engine starts and runs.
8. Once running, quickly disengage the choke by blipping the throttle. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before disengaging the chain brake and beginning work.

Warm Start Procedure:

1. Aktivieren Sie die Kettenbremse.
2. If the engine is warm, do not use the choke. If it has cooled slightly, use the half-choke position.
3. Am Starterseil ziehen, bis der Motor anspringt.
4. Blipping the throttle will disengage the choke if used.

5.2 Schneidetechniken

Always plan your cuts and be aware of falling timber and kickback zones.

• Fällen: Requires careful planning of the felling direction, escape routes, and proper notching techniques. Only attempt if properly trained.
• Gliedmaßen: Remove branches from a fallen tree. Work from the base towards the top, supporting the log to prevent pinching.
• Ruckeln: Cutting a fallen log into shorter sections. Be mindful of tension and compression in the wood to avoid pinching the bar.
• Always use the bucking spikes for leverage when possible.
• Maintain full throttle during cutting to ensure proper chain speed and lubrication.

5.3 Die Kettensäge anhalten

To stop the engine, simply move the ignition switch to the OFF position. Engage the chain brake immediately after stopping the engine.
