a growing oil stain then chain lubrication is working properly. If there are no oil stains on the ground, adjust 
the lubrication strength on the underside of the chain saw (Fig. 9) 

  If even then, the chain is not suffi ciently lubricated, clean out the oil outlet (under the sprocket cover), the top 

chain tensioning hole and the oil lines, or contact an authorised service centre if necessary. 

9. ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

 

ATTENTION!

 Due to the effect of higher temperatures, during operation the saw chain has a tendency to 

lengthen. A longer chain becomes loose and could slide off the guide bar.

  Loosen the sprocket cover fastening nuts.
  Make sure that the chain is seated in the guiding groove of the guide bar.
  Use a screwdriver to turn the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 5). Turn the tensioning screw until the required 

tension is achieved (you should lift the chain in the middle of the guide bar in the horizontal position to 
a height of 3 to 4 mm).

  Firmly tighten the guide bar fastening nuts.

 

ATTENTION!

 Do not tension the chain excessively. Excessive tension of a warm chain may result in 

excessively tension when it cools down.

10. CUTTING

 

ATTENTION!

 Before proceeding, please read the chapter "Safety instructions". We recommend that you 

gain experience by cutting smaller logs. In this way you will also get to know the chain saw.

  Always adhere to safety instructions. The chain saw may only be used for cutting wood.

It is forbidden to cut any other materials. Vibrations and kickback differ for various materials. Do not use the 
chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting material. It is forbidden to attach any parts or jigs other 
than those specifi ed in the technical documentation.

  It is not necessary to push the chain saw into the cut. When the engine is running at full speed, push the 

chain saw down lightly.

  If the chain jams in the cut, do not attempt to free it by pulling, rather stretch open the cut using a wedge or 

crowbar.

Safety brake (protection against kickback)

  This chain saw is equipped with an automatic chain brake that, if it works correctly, immediately stops the 

chain in the event of kickback. It is necessary to check the working order of the chain brake before every use 
of the chain saw. Run the chainsaw at full speed for 1 - -2 seconds and then tilt the front protective cover. 
The chain must stop immediately even when the engine is running at high speed. If the chain stops slowly or 
does not stop at all, please contact an authorised service centre.
