3. Nastavitev

3.1 Fueling the Chainsaw

The TB4218 uses a 2-cycle engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Use fresh unleaded gasoline mixed with the provided 2-cycle engine oil at the ratio specified in the engine manual (typically 50:1 or 40:1). Always mix fuel in a separate, approved fuel container.

1. Prepričajte se, da je motor izklopljen in ohlajen.
2. Clean the area around the fuel cap to prevent dirt from entering the fuel tank.
3. Previdno odstranite pokrov rezervoarja za gorivo.
4. Pour the pre-mixed fuel into the fuel tank, filling it to approximately 80% capacity. Do not overfill.
5. Varno namestite pokrovček rezervoarja za gorivo.

3.2 Polnjenje rezervoarja za verižno olje

The chainsaw features an adjustable, automatic bar and chain oiler. It is crucial to keep the oil reservoir filled with appropriate bar and chain oil to ensure proper lubrication and extend the life of the bar and chain.

1. Prepričajte se, da je motor izklopljen in ohlajen.
2. Clean the area around the oil cap.
3. Carefully remove the oil cap.
4. Fill the oil reservoir with quality bar and chain oil.
5. Varno namestite pokrovček olja.

3.3 Nastavitev napetosti verige

Correct chain tension is vital for safe and efficient operation. A new chain will stretch during the first few minutes of use and will require re-tensioning.

Figure 3.1: Close-up of the chainsaw bar, showing a label indicating to "Adjust new chain after 15 minutes of use."

1. Prepričajte se, da je motor ugasnjen in da je zavora verige aktivirana.
2. Loosen the bar nuts slightly.
3. Adjust the tensioning screw until the chain fits snugly against the guide bar, but can still be pulled around by hand without binding.
4. Tighten the bar nuts securely.
5. Pomembno: Recheck chain tension after the first 15 minutes of operation with a new chain, and periodically thereafter.

3. Set the choke to the FULL CHOKE position.
4. Večkrat pritisnite na vžigalno pumpico, dokler ni vidno gorivo.
5. Pull the starter rope firmly and smoothly until the engine attempts to start (usually a few pulls).
6. Once the engine "pops" or attempts to start, move the choke to the HALF CHOKE position.
7. Ponovno povlecite vrvico zaganjalnika, dokler se motor ne zažene.

4.2 Tehnike rezanja

Always maintain a stable stance and firm grip with both hands. Plan your cuts to avoid kickback and ensure the tree or limb falls safely.

• Podiranje: For felling trees, always make a notch cut first, followed by a felling cut from the opposite side.
• Udiranje: Remove smaller branches first, working from the bottom up. Be aware of spring-loaded branches.
• Preboj: Cut logs into shorter sections. Support the log to prevent pinching the bar.

5. Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your chainsaw. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.
