SHUTTING OFF ENGINE<br />

Shut the engine off with the ignition switch (A) to „Off“ (position<br />

marked „Stop“ - „O“) (fig.35).<br />

The engine must definitely be shut off during:<br />

• Service, work breaks, refueling, transporting.<br />

• Sharpening chain.<br />

• When saw is not in use<br />

- Immediately shut off engine if a noticeable change in handling<br />

characteristics occur.<br />

- Remember never place hot chain saw on dry grass or other<br />

flammable objects. The muffler emits tremendous heat capable<br />

of ignition (danger of fire).<br />

TRANSPORTING (FIG. 36)<br />

- When transporting saw or changing work<br />

locations, shut off engine and/or put chain<br />

brake on to avoid accidental chain rotation.<br />

- Never carry or transport the chain saw with rotating saw chain.<br />

- In case chain saw is to be transported over a long<br />

distance, definitely slide cover over saw chain.<br />

- Carry chain saw only at front handlebar. The guide bar faces to<br />

the rear and muffler away from body. Avoid contact with the<br />

muffler to prevent serious burns.<br />

- When transporting in a vehicle make sure the chain<br />

saw is properly secured to avoid spilling fuel and bar oil.<br />

- For extended storage or shipment of the chain saw, run engine<br />

until tank is dry or empty tank of fuel and bar oil.<br />

CARE AND MAITENANCE OF BAR AND CHAIN<br />

SAW CHAIN<br />

As with any cutting tool, the saw chain too is subject to normal<br />

wear. A chain saw performs best with a correctly sharpened saw<br />

chain. Each chain design, cutting performance, and configuration<br />

is adapted to a specific chain saw model (fig.37).<br />

The most important distinguishing characteristics of a saw chain<br />

are:<br />

1. Cutter shape (A)<br />

2. Pitch (B) as well as<br />

3. Drive link gauge (C)<br />

1. The cutter design is distinguished as:<br />

a) Chisel cutter (squared chisel, professional type chain saws)<br />

(fig.37).<br />

b) Chipper cutter (rounded chisel, consumer and hobby chain<br />

saws) (fig.37b).<br />

2. The chain pitch determines the measurement of the chain. It is<br />

equal to the distance between 3 rivets divided by two. The pitch is<br />

stated in inches, the internationally accepted measurement<br />

standard. (fig.37b)<br />

Pitch Deriveline gauge<br />

inches = (mm) mm = (inches)<br />

3/8" 90 SG (9,32 mm) 1,1 mm (.042")<br />

3/8" S (9,32 mm) 1,3 mm (.050")<br />

.325" (8,25 mm) 1,5 mm (.058")<br />

3/8" (9,32 mm) 1,5 mm (.058")<br />

.404" (10,26 mm) 1,6 mm (0.63")<br />

3) The drive link „gauge“ or chain gauge is the thickness of the<br />

bottom section of the drive link which fits into chain saw bar<br />

groove (fig.37c).<br />

CAUTION! Use only SOLO approved and original<br />

SOLO replacement saw chains and guide bar.<br />

CHAIN TENSION<br />

The correct saw chain tension is very critical to the long service<br />

life of a saw chain. Check chain tension frequently after engine<br />

has been shut off and bar and chain have cooled off.<br />

Follow all instructions carefully on saw chain sharpening.<br />

Incorrectly sharpended chains lead to engine overload and bar<br />

wear and reduces the service life of bar and chain. Additionally,<br />

it causes increased risk of kick-back, which may also result from<br />

enlarged depth gauges.<br />

SHARPENING OF<br />

SAW CHAIN<br />

(Fig. 38/29/40)<br />

WARNING! You must shut off engine before<br />

performing any maintenance on the saw chain,<br />

disconnect spark plug cap (see section on spark plug<br />

replacement) and wear protective gloves!<br />

- For sharpening, use a special chain file with the correct file<br />

diameter. (see filing chart). Standard round files are not suitable.<br />

- File forward only (arrow), lift file up on backstroke (fig.38).<br />

- File the shortest cutter first. The length of this cutter is the<br />

guide for all other chain cutters. (fig.38). All cutters must be equal<br />

in length.<br />

- A file holder simplifies guiding the file since it has markings for<br />

correct file angle (align markings parallel to the saw chain) and<br />

limits the depth (4/5 of file diameter) (fig.39).<br />

General Instructions for Filing Cutters<br />

1. Support file holder on cutter top plate.<br />

2. File cutters on one side of the chain from inside out, then file<br />

the other side.<br />

3. Keep the marker line on the file holder parallel to the center<br />

of the chain.<br />

4. File enough to remove any damage to cutting edges (side plate<br />

and top plate).<br />

FOR YOUR SAFETY! When advancing the chain by<br />

hand while filing cutters, always pull chain forward<br />

toward bar tip. This avoids injury to your hand should<br />

you slip.<br />
