• Wearing gloves locate the guide bar onto the chainsaw making sure that the
hole on either side of the slot locates over the adjuster pin.
A new chain will stretch during its first use. Turn off the engine then check
and readjust the chain frequently. Maintaining chain tension is important,
incorrect tension can cause the bar to wear and the chain to come off.
FUEL
Petrol is very flammable. Do not smoke while using the chainsaw or refuel
near a flame or spark. Allow the engine the cool before refuelling. Refuel
the engine at least 3m away from your work area.
• Use a ratio of 25:1 unleaded petrol to 2-stroke mineral oil. For semi-synthetic
or synthetic use the manufacturer’s ratio. Mix in an appropriate mixing
bottle.
• Unscrew the fuel cap, and fuel the machine to 80% capacity (248ml). Fasten
the fuel cap tightly and wipe up any spillage.
• Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture (2-stroke) is clearly marked in a
separate can and only stored for 4-6 weeks. If the chainsaw is not going to
be used for a long period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, then start the
engine to use up any remaining fuel.
CHAIN OIL
Use Handy chain oil HP-177.
Your chainsaw package contains: a Power Unit and separate Side Cover,
Guide Bar, Saw Chain, Scabbard, Plug Wrench and Screwdriver for
carburettor adjustment.
• Tighten the nuts securely with the bar tip held up. Using gloves, check the
chain for smooth rotation and correct tension while moving by hand. You
should be able to pull the chain 5-6mm off the guide bar. If necessary
re-adjust by loosening the side cover nuts.

Switch on the saw and hold it with the guide bar and chain above some light
coloured paper as shown in the image. A steadily increasing stain caused by oil
spray indicates that the lubricating system is working correctly. Running the saw
without chain lubrication will quickly damage the chain and guide bar.
You can alter the rate at which the oil flows by adjusting the lubrication screw,
located on the underside of the machine. It is only necessary to make small
adjustments to change the amount of the oil that is applied to lubricate the chain.
