  • Page 11 1 Cutting equipment designed to minimise kickback Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination of bar and chain increases the risk of kickback. Use only the bar and chain combinations recommended in the ”Technical data” section. The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the kick- back zone of the bar never touches anything.
  • Page 12 2 Sharpening your chain and adjusting raker clearance The risk of kickback is increased with a badly sharpened chain! A General information on sharpening cutting teeth • Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood and the cuttings will be very small.

  • Page 13: Tensioning The Chain

    C General advice on setting raker clearance • When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the RAKER CLEARANCE (cutting depth). To maintain cutting performance you must file back the raker teeth to the recommended height. See the ”Technical data” section to find the raker clearance for your saw chain.

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 4 Lubricating cutting equipment A Chain oil • Chainsaw chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flow caracteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather. • As a chainsaw manufacturer we have developed an optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable.
  • Page 15 C Checking chain lubrication • Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim the tip of the saw at a light coloured surface about 20 cm away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
