2. Pengaturan dan Perakitan
2.1 Pembongkaran dan Pemeriksaan
Carefully remove the chain saw and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. If any damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact your dealer.
2.2 Pemasangan Batang dan Rantai
- Pastikan rem rantai dilepas.
- Remove the chain cover nuts and chain cover.
- Place the chain around the clutch drum and guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges face forward on the top of the bar.
- Mount the guide bar onto the studs, aligning the chain tensioner pin with the hole in the guide bar.
- Pasang kembali penutup rantai dan kencangkan mur dengan tangan.
- Adjust chain tension using the side access chain tensioner until the chain is snug but can still be pulled freely by hand.
- Kencangkan sepenuhnya mur penutup rantai.
2.3 Bahan Bakar dan Oli Rantai
This chain saw requires a specific fuel mixture and chain lubricant.
- Campuran Bahan Bakar: Use a 50:1 ratio of high-quality 2-stroke engine oil to unleaded gasoline (minimum 89 octane). Mix thoroughly in a separate, approved fuel container.
- Minyak rantai: Use a high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use waste oil or motor oil, as this can damage the chain and bar.
Fill the fuel tank and chain oil reservoir, ensuring not to overfill. Wipe up any spills immediately.

3. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
3.1 Menghidupkan Mesin (Start Dingin)
- Letakkan gergaji mesin di permukaan yang kokoh dan rata. Pastikan rem rantai terpasang.
- Press the purge bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
- Pindahkan tuas choke ke posisi FULL CHOKE.
- Pull the starter handle firmly and quickly until the engine fires (usually 1-3 pulls). Do not pull the rope to its full extension.
- Once the engine fires, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
- Tarik kembali tuas starter hingga mesin menyala dan berjalan.
- Once the engine is running, move the choke lever to the RUN position. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments.
- Nonaktifkan rem rantai sebelum memulai operasi pemotongan.
3.2 Menghidupkan Mesin (Penghidupan Awal Setelah Mesin Panas)
- Pastikan rem rantai diaktifkan.
- Pindahkan tuas choke ke posisi RUN.
- Pull the starter handle firmly and quickly until the engine starts.
- Nonaktifkan rem rantai sebelum memulai operasi pemotongan.
3.3 Teknik Pemotongan
Always maintain a firm grip with both hands on the chain saw handles. Stand with your feet apart for balance. Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide bar to prevent kickback.
- limbung: Remove branches from a fallen tree. Work from the bottom up, supporting the branch if necessary to prevent pinching.
- melawan: Cut a fallen log into sections. Be aware of tension and compression in the wood to avoid pinching the bar.
4. Pemeliharaan
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your chain saw.
4.1 Pemeriksaan Harian
- Periksa ketegangan rantai.
- Verify chain sharpness.
- Periksa batang pemandu untuk melihat adanya keausan atau kerusakan.
- Check chain oil flow.
- Bersihkan saringan udara.
4.2 Penajaman Rantai
Rantai yang tajam sangat penting untuk pemotongan yang aman dan efisien. Gunakan rantai bulat file of the correct diameter (refer to chain specifications) and a filing guide. File all cutters to the same length and angle.
4.3 Pembersihan Filter Udara
Remove the air filter cover and clean the filter element. Wash foam filters with warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry completely before reinstallation. Replace damaged filters.
4.4 Pemeriksaan Busi
Remove the spark plug and inspect for fouling or wear. Clean or replace as necessary. Ensure the correct gap is set.
