Working with the tool
CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly with both
hands when the motor is running.
CAUTION: Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
CAUTION: When cutting through branches,
be careful not to lose your balance due to the weight of the tool head.
CAUTION: Always keep escape route in case
a cut branch falls towards the operator.
CAUTION: Never use the tip of the guide bar
for cutting. Otherwise, dangerous kickback may occur, and it may result in personal injury.

1. 60° or less Start the tool, and then press the saw chain onto the branch lightly. When cutting long branches, in order to control the drop position of cut branches, divide the branch in sections and cut the branch from the tip. Pay attention to the falling branches since they may bounce in the direction of the operator after hitting the ground. When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow undercut and then make the finish cut from the top. If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.
Carrying tool
Before carrying the tool, always remove the battery cartridges from the tool, and then attach the guide bar cover.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when perform-
ing any inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Cedrus Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Cedrus replacement parts.
Sharpening the saw chain

1. Cutter length 2. Distance between cutting edge and depth gauge 3. Minimum cutter length (3 mm)

— All cutter length must be equal. Different cutter lengths prevent the saw chain from running smoothly and may cause the saw chain to break.

—

Do not sharpen the chain when the cutter length has reached 3 mm or shorter. The chain must be

replaced with new one.

—

The chip thickness is determined by the distance between the depth gauge (round nose) and the

cutting edge.

—

The best cutting results are obtained with following distance between cutting edge and depth gauge.

Sharpen the saw chain when: · Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is · cut; The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty,
even · when heavy pressure is applied; · The cutting edge is obviously damaged;
The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood. (caused by uneven sharpening of the saw chain or Sharpdeanmthaegesatowocnheasinidfereoqnuley)ntly but a little each time. Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been resharpened sev- eral times, have it sharpened in our authorized service center. Sharpening criteria:
WARNING: An excessive distance between
the cutting edge and depth gauge increases the risk of kickback.

2 1

— The sharpening angle of 30° must be the same on

all cutters. Different cutter angles cause the chain

to run roughly and unevenly, accelerate wear, and

lead to chain breaks.

—

Use a suitable round file so that the proper sharpening angle is kept against the teeth.

· Chain blade 90PX : 55° · Chain blade 91PX : 55°
File and file guiding — Use a special round file (optional accessory) for
saw chains to sharpen the chain. Normal round files are not suitable. — Diameter of the round file for each saw chain is as follows:

· Chain blade 90PX : 4.5 mm (3/16) · Chain blade 91PX : 4.0 mm (5/32) — The file should only engage the cutter on the for-
ward stroke. Lift the file off the cutter on the return stroke. — Sharpen the shortest cutter first. Then the length of this shortest cutter becomes the standard for all other cutters on the saw chain. — Guide the file as shown in the figure.

Cleaning the sprocket cover
Chips and saw dust will accumulate inside of the sprocket cover. Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from the tool then clean the chips and saw dust.

1. File holder — After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional accessory).

Cleaning the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil discharge hole during operation. These dust or particles may impair the oil to flow and cause an insufficient lubrication on the whole saw chain. When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of guide bar, clean the oil discharge hole as follows. 1.Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from the tool. 2.Remove the small dust or particles using a slotted screwdriver with a slender shaft or the like. 3.Insert the battery cartridge into the tool. Pull the switch trigger to flow built-up dust or particles off the oil discharge hole by discharging chain oil. 4.Remove the battery cartridge from the tool. Reinstall the sprocket cover and saw chain on the tool.
