6.4.3. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Release the throttle lever and leave the engine running 

idle for thirty seconds.

Stop the engine by moving 

the ignition switch (1) to the 

STOP position (0).

6.4.4. CHECKING THE CLUTCH

 After starting up and the engine is hot, the 

chain must not be moved if the engine is idle. If the 

chain turns with the engine running and without 

accelerating, it will be necessary to regulate the idling 

regime of the engine. To do this, turn the carburetor 

nut “T” until the engine stops. If you are unable to 

regulate the idling regime to stop the chain, because 

the engine stalls, please contact the customer service 

for help.

 The regulation of the screws (H) and (L) must only 

be carried out by an official technical service.

6.4.5. CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY

After starting the engine, 

accelerate in order to move the 

chain at an average speed and 

check that the oil is dispersed as 

shown in the diagram.

The chain oil flow can be 

regulated by using the oil 

regulation nut (1). This is to 

be found next to the clutch 

under the machine.

In order to regulate the oil flow use a screwdriver and 

turn the screw either left or right to increase the flow 

“MAX” or diminish it “MIN”. The words “MAX” and 

“MIN” are to be found under the tool.

Ensure the oil reservoir is topped up every time fuel 

is added.

6.4.6. PROTECTION AGAINST KICKBACK

Kickback is the most important danger of 

these tools.

This tool is equipped with an automatic brake which 

stops the chain turning if there is kickback while the 

work is being carried out.

6.4.7. CHECKING THE SAFETY BRAKE

Put the engine at full power during 1-2 seconds and 

push the brake lever forwards. The chain should 

immediately stop while the engine is still running.

If the chain delays in stopping or it does not stop, 

please see the customer service.

Check the chain brake before each use and make 

sure it is sharp.

There is a greater risk of personal injury if the safety 

devices are not used, maintenance is inadequate or 

the bar or chain are not placed in the correct position.

 7. USING THE MACHINE

 The machine must only be used for the purpose 

for which it has been designed. Any other purpose 

could be dangerous, causing damage to the machine.

Keep body away from the chain of the chainsaw when 

the engine is running.
