4 INSTALLATION
WARNING! Danger of serious injury. If an
incompletely mounted chain saw is used, serious
injury can be caused.
■
Only use the chain saw when it has been ful-
ly mounted.
■
Before each use, perform a visual inspection
in order to check that the chain saw is com-
plete and does not contain damaged or worn
components. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
CAUTION! Danger of laceration injuries.
The sharp edges of the saw chain can cause lac-
eration injuries when assembling.
■
Before installation, remove the rechargeable
battery.
■
Wear safety gloves when installing the saw
chain and the guide rail.
4.1 Installing the guide rail (03– 06)
EKS 2000/35 (03, 04)
1. Place the chain saw on a stable base.
2. Pull chain brake bracket (03/1) in the direc-
tion of bow handle (03/A) in order to release
the chain brake.
3. Loosen mounting screw (03/2).
4. Remove sprocket cover (03/3).
5. Turn chain tensioning screw (03/4) to the left
as far as the stop. Tensioning hook (03/5) is
then located at the end of the stop, in the di-
rection of chain sprocket (04/3).
6. Place guide rail (04/1) on guide pin (04/2)
and push towards chain sprocket (04/3) until
tensioning hook (03/5) fits into hole (04/4) of
the guide rail.
EKI 2200/40, EKS 2400/40 (05, 06)
1. Pull chain brake bracket (05/1) in the direc-
tion of bow handle (05/A) in order to release
the chain brake.
2. Loosen quick-tensioner (05/2).
3. Remove sprocket cover (05/3).
4. Turn chain tensioning disc (06/1) on loose
guide rail (06/2) fully to the right.
5. Place the guide rail onto guide pin (06/3).
6. Turn the chain tensioning disc as far as pos-
sible to the left so that the guide rail is moved
in the direction of chain sprocket (06/4).
4.2 Installing the saw chain (03– 07)
EKS 2000/35
1. Place the saw chain on chain sprocket (04/3)
and in the groove of guide rail (04/4).
Note: Note the running direction of the saw
chain! The cutters (04/5) of the saw teeth on
the upper side of the guide rail point forwards
towards the tip of the rail (04/6).
2. Guide the saw chain around the reversing
sprocket of the guide rail. The saw chain
must hang down slightly on the underside of
the guide rail.
3. Turn chain tensioning screw (07/1) a little to
the right until the saw chain makes contact
with the underside of the guide rail.
Note: When tightening the chain tensioning
screw, ensure that tensioning hook (03/5)
does not slip out of hole (04/4) in the guide
rail.
4. Fit sprocket cover (03/3) and tighten fasten-
ing nut (03/2) finger-tight.

1. Place the saw chain on chain sprocket (06/4)
and in the groove of guide rail (06/2).
Note: Note the running direction of the saw
chain! The cutters (06/5) of the saw teeth on
the upper side of the guide rail point forwards
towards the tip of the rail (06/6).
2. Guide the saw chain around the reversing
sprocket of the guide rail. The saw chain
must hang down slightly on the underside of
the guide rail.
3. Fit sprocket cover (05/3) and tighten quick-
tensioner (05/2) slightly.
