Important Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before use and retain for future reference.

General Precautions:

• Do not allow children to play with the power tool/machine.
• If the power tool/machine is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid, do not use it. Contact DOMU Brands Customer Services.
• Do not use if any parts appear faulty, missing, or damaged. Ensure all parts are securely attached before use.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
• Prevent unintentional starting: Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to the power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres (flammable liquids, gases, dust). Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
• Always wear eye protection (safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1).
• Do not expose to rain or wet conditions.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection as appropriate.
• Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning the power tool/machine on.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Dress appropriately: Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
• Ensure dust extraction and collection facilities are connected and properly used if provided.

Work Area Safety:

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating.

General Power Tool Use and Care:

• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application.
• Do not use if the switch does not turn the tool on and off.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing.
• Store out of reach of children and persons unfamiliar with the tool or instructions.
• Maintain the tool: Check for misalignment, binding of moving parts, breakage, or any other condition that may affect operation. Have damaged tools repaired before use.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
• Use accessories and tool bits in accordance with instructions, considering working conditions.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

• Never soak or immerse electrical components.
• Disconnect the plug before any adjustments, accessory changes, or storage.
• Ensure the motor has fully stopped before cleaning or maintenance.
• Maintain the tool, checking for proper alignment and parts. Have damaged tools repaired by a qualified person.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
• Regularly check external nuts and fixings for looseness.
• Store in a dry place.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service technician.
• Keep ventilation slots and motor housing free of dirt and dust.
• Clean with a damp cloth and low-pressure compressed air.

Assembly

Ensure all parts are present before assembly. Refer to the component list and diagrams for correct assembly procedures.

Chain Tensioning and Adjustment Check:

• Correct chain tension is crucial for operation and safety. Check before starting and during use.
• Turning the screw counter-clockwise decreases tension. Ensure the chain fits snugly around the guide bar.
• New chains stretch and require adjustment after as few as 5 cuts.
• Incorrect tension (too loose or too tight) can lead to rapid wear of the sprocket, bar, chain, crankshaft, and bearings.
• Always wear protective gloves during maintenance. Do not perform maintenance when the motor unit is hot.

Guide Bar Maintenance:

• Proper guide bar lubrication and avoiding a chain that is too tight contribute to preventing rapid bar wear.

Chain Sharpening:

• For inexperienced users, professional sharpening is recommended.
• If sharpening yourself, use suitable tools: a 4mm round hand file, a chain measuring gauge, or an electric chain sharpener.
• All cutting teeth must be of similar length. Different lengths can cause rough running and damage.
• Minimum tooth length is 4mm. If shorter, remove the chain.
• Follow correct sharpening angles. Make 2-3 file pulls from the inside out.
• After 3-4 sharpenings, have the chain professionally sharpened for longevity.

Sprocket Tips Lubrication:

• Lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip after 25 hours of use or once a week.
• Clean the sprocket tip thoroughly before lubrication.
• Failure to lubricate will result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the warranty.

Chain Lubrication:

• Ensure the automatic oiler system is working properly.
• Keep the oil tank filled with Bar and Chain or Sprocket Oil.
• Fill the oil tank to approximately the halfway mark, maintaining this level.
• Adequate lubrication is essential to minimize friction.
• Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Running dry will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten chain life, and cause excessive wear due to overheating.
• Signs of insufficient oil include smoke or bar discolouration.
