of approx. 45 degrees upward, and guide the
sawing chain around the chain wheel .

Tightening and checking the saw
chain
WARNING!
► Wear protective gloves! There is a risk of
injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
♦ Using the assembly tool , turn the chain-
tensioner screw in a clockwise direction to
increase the tension.
♦ The saw chain must lie against the underside
of the blade. Check whether the saw chain can
be drawn by hand over the blade .
NOTE
► A new saw chain stretches and must be
tightened more regularly.
Lubricating the chain
♦ Remove the oil filler cap .
♦ Fill the oil tank with approx. 65 ml of organic
chain oil .
WARNING!
► Never work without chain lubrication!
If the saw chain runs dry, the cutting equip-
ment may become irreparably damaged
within a short time. Always check chain
lubrication and oil level in the tank before
starting work.
NOTE
► Use only saw chain oil. Preferably biodegrad-
able. Do not use waste oil, motor oil, etc.
► While working, check whether the automatic
chain lubrication is working correctly. Check
the chain lubricator before and during work.
Sharpening the saw chain
NOTE
► You will find detailed information on
sharpening in the sharpening set, e.g. from
Oregon.
► Alternatively, you can use an electrical saw
chain sharpening device and follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
► If you have any doubts about implementing
the work, the saw chain should be replaced.
