Before operating your chainsaw, proper assembly and fueling are crucial.

4.1 Prepararea amestecului de combustibil

The Toolcraft TC3417 uses a 2-stroke gasoline engine. It requires a specific mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil. The recommended mixture ratio is 20ml of 2-stroke oil per 1 liter of gasoline. Use a high-quality 2-stroke engine oil designed for air-cooled engines.

• Always use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher.
• Carefully measure the oil and gasoline using the provided mixing bottle or a suitable measuring container.
• Mix thoroughly before pouring into the fuel tank.

4.2 Umplerea rezervorului de combustibil

• Asigurați-vă că motorul este oprit și răcit.
• Așezați ferăstrăul cu lanț pe o suprafață plană și stabilă.
• Unscrew the fuel tank cap slowly to release any pressure.
• Carefully pour the prepared fuel mixture into the fuel tank, avoiding overfilling. The tank capacity is 550ml.
• Puneți la loc în siguranță capacul rezervorului de combustibil.

4.3 Chain and Bar Installation (if not pre-installed)

Refer to the detailed diagrams in your physical manual for precise steps. Generally:

• Scoateți capacul lanțului.

• Mount the guide bar onto the studs.
• Replace the chain cover and hand-tighten the nuts.
• Adjust chain tension: The chain should be snug against the bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand. There should be no slack on the underside of the bar.

The chainsaw requires bar and chain oil for lubrication. This is separate from the fuel mixture.

• Fill the tank with bar and chain oil.
• Puneți capacul la loc în siguranță.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Toolcraft TC3417 chainsaw.

6.1 Ascuțirea lanțului

A sharp chain is essential for efficient and safe cutting. A dull chain can cause the chainsaw to work harder, leading to poor performance and increased risk of kickback.
