4. Setup
4.1 Disimballaġġ
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage during transit. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present.
4.2 Taħlita ta' Fjuwil u Żejt
This chainsaw operates on a mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. Use 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 (50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil) or 25:1. Mix fuel in a separate, approved fuel container. Always add oil to gasoline, not the other way around, and shake well before filling the fuel tank.
- Fill the fuel tank with the prepared fuel mixture.
- Fill the chain oil tank with high-quality bar and chain lubricant. Do not use waste oil or motor oil.
4.3 Installazzjoni tal-Bar u l-Katina
- Ensure the engine is off and the chain brake is engaged.
- Neħħi l-ġewż tal-għatu tal-katina u l-għatu tal-katina.
- Place the guide bar onto the studs, ensuring the chain tension pin engages with the hole in the guide bar.
- Carefully fit the saw chain around the sprocket and into the guide bar groove. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain are facing forward on the top of the guide bar.
- Replace the chain cover and loosely tighten the nuts.
4.4 Aġġustament tat-Tensjoni tal-Katina
Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The chain should be snug against the guide bar, but still able to be pulled around by hand with light effort. There should be no sag on the underside of the guide bar.
- With the chain cover nuts slightly loose, use the tensioning screw (usually located on the side of the chainsaw) to adjust the chain tension.
- Lift the tip of the guide bar slightly while tightening the chain cover nuts firmly.
- Check the tension again. The chain should not bind and should move freely.
5. Operazzjoni
5.1 Tibda tal-Magna
Always start the chainsaw on a firm, flat surface, ensuring the chain brake is engaged.
Bidu Kiesaħ:
- Iqabbad il-brejk tal-katina.
- Issettja l-lieva taċ-ċowk għall-pożizzjoni FULL CHOKE.
- Agħfas il-bozza tal-primer diversi drabi sakemm il-fjuwil ikun viżibbli fil-linja tar-ritorn.
- Iġbed il-manku tal-istarter sew u bla xkiel sakemm il-magna taqbad (ġeneralment ftit ġbid).
- Once the engine fires, immediately push the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE or RUN position.

5.2 Tekniki tat-Tqattigħ
Always use both hands to operate the chainsaw. Maintain a firm grip and stable footing.
- Tqattigħ: For felling small trees, plan your escape route and ensure no one is in the fall zone. Make a directional notch first, then a felling cut from the opposite side.
- Limbing: Remove branches from a felled tree. Work from the base towards the top, supporting the branch if it's under tension.
