4. Assemblea

Follow these steps to correctly assemble your VEVOR 62cc Gas Chainsaw.

Image 4.1: Chainsaw Assembly Steps. This image illustrates the six key steps for assembling the chainsaw: opening the side cover, installing the wood tooth, installing the guide bar, installing the chain with correct tooth direction, closing the side cover and adjusting chain tension, and finally locking the side cover.

1. Apertura di u coperchiu laterale: Locate and open the side cover of the chainsaw to access the sprocket and guide bar mounting area.
2. Install the Wood Tooth (Bumper Spike): Attach the metal bumper spike (also known as a felling dog or wood tooth) to the chainsaw body using the provided screws. This helps stabilize the chainsaw during cutting.
3. Installate a barra di guida: Position the guide bar onto the mounting studs, ensuring the holes align with the studs.
4. Installate a catena: Carefully place the saw chain around the sprocket and into the groove of the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain teeth are facing the correct direction (forward, away from the engine).
5. Adjust Chain Tension and Close Side Cover: While holding the guide bar up, adjust the chain tensioner screw until the chain is snug but can still be pulled freely by hand. There should be a small gap (2-4 mm) between the bottom of the chain and the guide bar when lifted. Close the side cover.
6. Chjude u coperchiu laterale: Securely tighten the nuts or bolts on the side cover to lock it in place. Re-check chain tension after tightening.

5. Fuel and Oil Mixture

This chainsaw operates on a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. Using the correct mixture ratio is vital for engine longevity and performance.

• Ratio di mistura di carburante: The recommended fuel-to-oil mixing ratio is 40: 1 (40 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke engine oil).
• benzina: Aduprate benzina fresca senza piombu cù un indice di ottanu di 89 o più.
• 2-Stroke Oil: Use high-quality 2-stroke engine oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines.
• Mixing: Mix the fuel and oil in a separate, approved fuel container. Shake the container thoroughly before pouring the mixture into the chainsaw's fuel tank.
• Oliu di catena: Fill the separate oil tank with high-quality chain lubricant oil. This oil automatically lubricates the guide bar and chain during operation, reducing wear. The chain oil tank capacity is 260 ml (0.07 gallons).
• Capacità: The fuel tank capacity is 550 ml (0.14 gallons).

CAUTION: Never use pure gasoline or automotive engine oil in the fuel tank. This will cause severe engine damage and void the warranty.
