Mounting the chain bar
1. Place the chainsaw with the
motor on a cover to avoid
any mess from the oil.
2. Place the chain (5) in the
grove of the bar (6). Pay
attention to the correct
running direction. As shown
by the running direction
symbol.
3. Place the chain links around
the chain wheel (9) and put
the bar on such that the two
locating pegs fit into the
slotted hole of the bar.
4. Prior to fitting the cover (11)
it is important to set the
chain adjusting cam. To do
this fully depress the chain
clamp/lock knob and rotate
until the cam is aligned with
the arrow as pictures in Fig 1.
5. To fit the cover (15) insert
the back locating hook into
the slot provided near the oil
indicator and lower the cover
over the bar ensuring the
clamp bolt of the cover passes
through the centre of the bar
adjustment block (10) and
rotate the clamp/lock knob
until it just starts to become
tight.
Note.
Do not push the clamp/lock knob while rotating.
Proceed as detailed below to set the chain tension.
6. Screw in the chain clamp/lock knob tightly.
Setting the chain saw tension
1. Loosen the chain clamp/lock
knob by turning it anti-clockwise
approximately 1-2 turns.
2. Press the chain clamp/lock
knob inwards and turn it in a
clockwise direction until the
correct chain tension is reached.
3. The correct tension is reached
when the chain in the middle
of the bar can only be raised
by approximately 3-4mm.
4. Release the chain clamp/lock
knob and ensure it springs
away from the housing
slightly.
5. Tighten the chain clamp/lock
knob by turning it clockwise without pressing it inwards.
6. Check whether all chain links lie correctly in the guide
tracks of the bar.
Oil filling
Note.
The chain saw is shipped
without oil in it. The chain saw
must never be used without
oil or with an oil level that is
below the indicator.
Warning.
Always ensure that
the chainsaw is switched off
and the plug is removed from
the power point before making
any adjustments.
1. Remove oil tank cap (3) and fill the tank with chain
oil. Replace the oil tank cap and tighten well.
2. Lubrication is activated only when the machine is working.
3. Check the oil level periodically, through the oil level
indicator (16).
