3. Justering av kjedestramming
Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and effective operation. The chainsaw features tool-free chain tensioning. Use the convenient dial on the side of the tool to adjust the chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar, allowing you to lift it slightly with your fingers but not pull it away from the bar. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included manual for precise tensioning specifications.

- Kjedebrems: A chain brake is located on the front handle. Pushing this lever forward engages the brake, stopping the chain immediately. Ensure the brake is disengaged (pulled back) before attempting to start the chainsaw.
2. Starte motorsagen

- Verify the chain brake is disengaged (pulled back towards the operator).
- Grip motorsagen godt med begge hender.
- Engasjer de totage safety lever/button.
- Press the trigger to start the chain. Release the trigger to stop.
3. Skjæreteknikker
Always maintain a stable stance and clear understanding of the cutting path. For optimal performance and safety, use the chainsaw for its intended purpose, such as trimming and pruning limbs. The 1/4-inch pitch chain is designed for smooth, precise cuts.

Vedlikehold
Regelmessig vedlikehold sikrer lang levetid og sikker drift av motorsagen din.
- Bar & Chain Oil: Regularly check the oil level in the reservoir and refill as needed. Never operate the chainsaw without sufficient bar and chain oil.
- Kjedespenning: Periodically check and adjust the chain tension. A loose chain can derail, and an overly tight chain can cause premature wear.
- Kjedesliping/-utskifting: A dull chain requires more effort to cut and can be dangerous. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when necessary. Refer to the product manual for specific chain sharpening guidelines.
- Rengjøring: Etter hver bruk, fjern sagflis og rusk fra motorsagen, spesielt rundt sverdet, kjedet og motorhuset.
- Lagring: Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Always remove the battery before storing the tool for extended periods.
