ASSEMBLY
This chain saw does not require assembly, but user should
know how to assemble the guide bar and saw chain.
Check the chain tensioning and add oil as described later
in this manual before each operation.
ASSEMBLING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
See gure 2 - 7
Make sure remove the battery pack from the unit. Wear
protective gloves.
Unscrew the sprocket cover tighten knob (item 15) and
remove the sprocket cover.
The saw chain should face in the direction of chain
rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of
the bar.
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the
loop around the sprocket and make sure it is correctly
mounted. Make sure the bar hole fits well with bolt
(item 16) for saw chain tension.
Replace the sprocket cover, turn the chain tension
adjust knob (item 13) clockwise until the saw chain
is properly tensioned. The guide bar must then be
pushed upwards, check chain tension again, do not
tension the chain too tight.
After the chain is well-tensioned, tighten the knob
(item 15) again.
Note:
The saw chain is properly tensioned if, in the middle
of the guide bar, it can be lifted 3mm to 4mm from the
edge of the guide bar. Start the saw again with a new saw
chain, allowing it to run-in for 2~3 minutes.
WARNING
After the run-in time, check the chain tension and re-
tighten the chain if necessary.
