5. Устаўце на месца вечка ланцуга і зацягніце гайкі ўручную.

2.4 Нацяжэнне ланцуга

The quick-adjust chain tensioning system allows for easy adjustment. 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 freely by hand. There should be no sag on the underside of the guide bar.

1. Злёгку аслабце гайкі вечка ланцуга.
2. Turn the tensioning screw (typically located on the side of the chainsaw) clockwise to tighten the chain or counter-clockwise to loosen it.
3. Once the desired tension is achieved, firmly tighten the chain cover nuts.

3. Аперацыя

3.1 Запуск бензапілы

1. Пераканайцеся, што акумулятар цалкам зараджаны і надзейна ўстаўлены ў бензапілу.
2. Моцна трымайце бензапілу абедзвюма рукамі.
3. Engage the electronic chain brake (if not already engaged) and then disengage it by pulling the front hand guard back towards the front handle.
4. Press and hold the safety lock-out button, then squeeze the trigger switch to start the chain. Release the safety lock-out button once the chain is running.

3.2 Тэхніка рэзкі

• Высечка: For felling small trees, plan your escape route and ensure the area is clear. Make a notch cut on the side of the tree in the direction of the fall, then make a felling cut from the opposite side, slightly above the notch.
• Абрэзка канечнасцяў: Выдаляйце галіны з паваленага дрэва. Працуйце ад асновы да верхавіны, спачатку зразаючы меншыя галіны. Будзьце ўважлівыя да галін, якія знаходзяцца пад нацяжэннем.
• Расцяжка: Cut a fallen log into smaller sections. Support the log to prevent pinching the chain. If cutting a log on the ground, avoid cutting into the soil, which dulls the chain quickly.
• Пазбягайце аддачы: Never cut with the tip of the guide bar. Always maintain a firm grip and stable footing.

3.3 Функцыі бяспекі

• Low-Kickback Bar and Chain: Designed to reduce the force and frequency of kickback. However, proper cutting technique is still essential.
• Electronic Chain Brake: This safety mechanism stops the chain almost instantly when activated, either manually by pushing the front hand guard forward or automatically in certain kickback situations.

4. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

• Рэгулярна тачыце ланцуг, выкарыстоўваючы круглы file of the correct diameter (refer to chain specifications).
• If the chain is severely damaged, stretched, or cannot be sharpened effectively, replace it with a new, compatible chain.
