5. Oppsett
5.1 Forberedelse av drivstoff og kjedeolje
This chainsaw requires a mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. Always use fresh, high-quality unleaded gasoline and a premium 2-stroke engine oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines. Refer to the engine oil manufacturer's instructions for the correct mixing ratio (typically 50:1 or 25:1).
- Drivstoffblanding: Mix gasoline and 2-stroke oil in a separate, approved fuel container. Shake well before filling the chainsaw's fuel tank.
- Kjede olje: Fill the chain oil tank with high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use waste oil or motor oil, as this can damage the pump and chain.
5.2 Montering av sverd og kjede
- Sørg for at kjedebremsen er frakoblet.
- Fjern kjededekselet ved å løsne de to mutterne.
- Fit the chain onto the sprocket and around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges face the correct direction.
- Monter sverdet på tappene, og juster kjedestrammerpinnen med hullet i sverdet.
- Sett på kjededekselet igjen og stram mutterne for hånd.
- Adjust the chain tension using the tensioning screw. The chain should be snug against the bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand. Lift the tip of the guide bar slightly while tightening the nuts to ensure proper tension.
- Stram mutterne på kjededekselet helt.
6. Bruksanvisning
6.1 Starte motoren (kaldstart)
- Plasser motorsagen på en fast, flat overflate.
- Aktiver kjedebremsen.
- Trykk på primerpumpen flere ganger til drivstoffet er synlig i returledningen.
- Pull the choke lever to the "FULL CHOKE" position.
- Hold the chainsaw firmly with one hand on the front handle and pull the starter rope handle briskly until the engine "pops" or attempts to start (usually 1-3 pulls).
- Push the choke lever to the "HALF CHOKE" or "RUN" position (depending on model).
- Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts and runs.
- Once the engine is running, blip the throttle to disengage the choke completely.

6.2 Starte motoren (varmstart)
If the engine is warm, the choke may not be necessary. Simply pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
