Limbing (fi g. Q)
Removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing,
leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches under tension
should be cut from the bottom of the branch towards the top
to avoid binding the chain saw. Trim limbs from opposite side
keeping tree stem between you and saw. Never make cuts
with saw between your legs or straddle the limb to be cut.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for the tool.
We recommend you make the following checks on a regular
basis.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on power tools:
Switch off and disconnect the tool from the mains supply.
Oil level
The level in the reservoir should not be allowed to fall below
a quarter full.
Saw chain and guide bar (fi g. F)
After every few hours of use and before storage, remove
the guide bar (4) and the saw chain (5) and clean them
thoroughly.
Make sure that the guard is clean and free from debris.
Warning! Do not overtighten.
Oil sprocket nose via the sprocket lubriation hole, this
ensure an even distribution of wear around the guide bar

is important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp.
