5. Bedryfsinstruksies

Before operating, ensure all safety checks are complete and you are wearing appropriate PPE.

5.1 Begin die kettingsaag

1. Plaas 'n volgelaaide battery in die kettingsaag totdat dit in plek klik.
2. Gryp die kettingsaag stewig met albei hande vas.
3. Press the lock-off button (safety switch) with one hand, then squeeze the trigger with the other hand to start the chainsaw. Release the lock-off button once the chainsaw is running.

5.2 Snytegnieke

• Always maintain a stable and balanced stance.
• Allow the chainsaw to reach full speed before engaging the material.
• Apply light, consistent pressure. Let the saw do the work.
• For branches, cut from the top down to avoid pinching the blade. For larger logs, make a relief cut on the underside first.
• Avoid cutting into the ground, as this can dull the chain quickly.

6. Onderhoud

Gereelde onderhoud verseker die lang lewensduur en veilige werking van jou kettingsaag.

6.1 Kettingversorging

• Skerp: The 8660 alloy steel chain is designed for durability. Sharpen the chain regularly with a suitable file to maintain cutting efficiency.
• Spanning: Check chain tension frequently. A properly tensioned chain should be snug against the guide bar but still allow you to pull it around by hand. Adjust using the tool-free knob.
• Vervanging: Vervang die ketting wanneer dit dof word om nie meer geslyp te word nie of tekens van skade toon.

6.2 Skoonmaak en berging

• After each use, remove the battery and clean the chainsaw. Use a brush to remove sawdust and debris from the guide bar, chain, and motor vents.
• Vee die buitekant af met advertensieamp lap. Moenie harde chemikalieë gebruik nie.
• Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Always use the guide bar cover during storage.
• For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and stored separately in a cool, dry place.
