Troubleshooting
Engine fails to start
Check the fuel level, ensure the ignition switch is in the 'on' position, and verify the spark plug is clean and properly connected.
Chain is not cutting effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Fuel Mixing: Use a proper two-stroke oil and petrol mixture as specified in the manual. Do not use plain fuel, as this will damage the engine.
- Chain Tensioning: Before operation, ensure the chain tension is correct. It should be snug against the bar but still pull freely by hand.
- Lubrication: Always keep the chain oil reservoir filled with high-quality bar and chain oil to prevent premature wear on the blade.
- Storage: Empty the fuel tank if the tool will be stored for more than a few weeks. Keep the blade guard on when not in use.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean sawdust from around the sprocket and sharpen the chain teeth to maintain cutting efficiency.
