[. . . ] Turn the chain stretching screw anti-clockwise when the saw chain is stretched too much. Cut a kerf with the saw of approximately one third of the tree diameter into the trunk. First of all place the horizontal cut and then as secondly a cut from top in an angle of 45°. Shout the warning "Caution" or "Tree is falling" before starting the fell cut. If the tree starts falling ahead of time pull out the chain saw immediately out of the cut and step back or to the side. Check the saw chain tension: before start of work after the first steps during sawing regularly all 10 minutes Only with a correct clamped saw chain and a sufficient lubrication you can influence the durability. Please observe the following: a new saw chain must be rest retched more frequently. in case of heating of chain to operating temperature it expands and needs to be reclamped. After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge in the saw chain. If chain flackers or comes out of the guide clamp it again immediately. Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike in direction of a carton or paper on the ground. If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil automatic works faultless. If there is no oil track despite full oil tank: Clean the oil flow channel (19). This product is operated by a mixture from regular petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke engine oil. Petrol: Octane number at least 91 ROZ unleaded Do not fill in leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved fuels. This may lead to severe engine damages due to increased engine temperatures. If you frequently operate the product at high speeds, you should use petrol with a higher octane number. To JASO FC or ISO EGD specifications Do only use two-stroke engine oil for air-cooled engines. Fill the saw chain as described under "Chain lubrication" and "Fuelling". Any use without chain saw oil may result in damage of the chain saw and guide bar. The durability and cutting power of the chain depends on the optimal lubrication. Filling up saw chain oil Stop the engine and wear protective gloves. [. . . ] dispose of remainders of fuel/saw chain oil according to relevant regulations (environmentally compatible). For this reason the oil system should be flushed before a longer storing with a commercial chain saw cleaner. Operate the chain saw without installed guide bar and chain until all of the cleaner came out of the oil outlet of the chain saw. After cleaning, immerse the saw chain in an oil bath for a short time and wrap it then with oiled paper. [. . . ]
