Q
Assembly
WARNING!
Always switch the product off and
remove the battery pack before
performing inspections, installing
accessories, making adjustments,
refilling fluids or lubricating!
WARNING!
u
The product must be fully assembled before
operation! Do not use a product that is
only partly assembled or assembled with
damaged parts!
u
Follow the assembly instructions step-by-step
and use the pictures provided as a visual
guide to easily assemble the product!
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION
The cutting edges of the saw chain are
sharp! Always wear protective gloves
when handling chain!
Guide bar and saw chain
WARNING!
u
Always use a saw chain designed as “low-
kickback” or a saw chain which meets the
low-kickback requirements! A standard saw
chain (a chain which does not have the
kickback reducing guard links) should only
be used by an experienced professional
operator!
u
Nevertheless, a low-kickback saw chain
does not completely eliminated kickback! A
low-kickback or “safety” chain should never
be regarded as complete protection against
injury! Therefore always use a low-kickback
saw chain in conjunction with other kickback
protection devices such as the front guard /
chain brake!
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY
u
Never attach a new saw chain to a worn
sprocket or place onto a damaged or worn
guide bar. The chain could spring back or
break, potentially leading to serious injury.
Assemble the guide bar
4
and saw chain
5
before operation.
Use only a guide bar
4
and saw chain
5
according to the technical data of the product
(see “Technical data”).
1. Place the product on a suitable flat surface.
2. Loosen the lock knob
6 anticlockwise and
remove together with the drive cover 7 .
3. Fit the chain links into the groove around the
guide bar 4 . Make sure the cutters of the saw
chain 5 are facing away from the product
along the top edge of the guide bar 4 .
4. Fit the chain links around the sprocket
26
.
Place the slotted end of the guide bar
4
over the guide bar bolt 24 . Accommodate
the guide bar 4 so the chain tension pin 25
inserts into the lower hole in the guide bar
4
.
Adjusting the position of chain tension pin
25
is
necessary if the chain tension pin 25 could not
be fitted into the lower hole in the guide
bar
4 .Tension the chain by adjusting the
tension knob 8 so the saw chain 5 does not
slip off the sprocket 26 .
5. Place the drive cover
7
and tighten the lock
knob 6 so that the cover is snug, but not tight.
Tension the saw chain 5 (see “Tensioning the
saw chain”).
Tensioning the saw chain
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY
u
Always maintain proper chain tension! A
loose chain will increase the risk of kickback!
A loose chain may jump out of the guide
bar groove! This may injure operator and
damage the chain! A loose chain will cause
rapid wear to chain, guide bar and sprocket!
u
Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload
the motor and cause damage; insufficient
tension can provoke chain derailing, whereas
a correctly tightened chain provides the best
cutting characteristics and prolonged work
life! The chain life depends mainly upon
sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning!
