carter (11).
n
Put the bar (5) on the locking pin (14) and
push it to the sprocket (15).
n
Put the chain (6) on the bar, beginning
from the top, ensure cutter teeth are fac-
ing direction of chain rotation.
n
Ensure chain fits around sprocket (15)
and check that small end of chain tension
lever (16) fits into bottom hole of bar.
n
Position the carter chain and clamp the
nut (12) finger tight.
n
Adjust chain tension screw (13) so that
when lifting the chain, an entire drive link
is just visible. Ensure chain rotates
smoothly on bar. Fully tighten nut.

Do not over tension the chain as this will
reduce life of chain, bar and motor.
n
Do not under tension the chain as this will
make it fall down while working.

UBRIFICATION
SYSTEM
n
An automatic pump allows the chain lubri-
cation.
n
Use only new oil for chains. The choice
of the oil viscosity depends on the air
temperature. Never use waste oil or sec-
ond rate oil that could damage the pump,
the bar and the chain.
n
Contact an authorised service centre in
order to choose good oil.
n
Never use the chainsaw without oil.
Check oil level regularly, refill if less than
¼ full.
n
If the lubrication system doesn’t work
properly, check that the oil filter is clean,
eventually contact an authorised service
centre.
