Adjusting the chain tension
The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,
tensioning chainsaw.
• Switch off the device and remove the
battery from the device
• Check the chain tension regularly and
re-adjust this as often as possible.
When the saw chain is tensioned with
9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between
the saw chain and the guide rail may
not be more than 2 mm.
Starting up a new saw chain
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore
you must re-tension the chain after the first
5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.
Never attach a new chain to a
worn drive pinion or place onto
a damaged or worn chain bar.
The chain could spring back or
break, potentially leading to se -
rious injury.
Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when
handling the chain or the chain bar.
The chain bar must be turned round every
10 working hours, in order to guarantee
uniform wear.
1. Switch off the saw and remove the
battery from the device
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15), the saw chain (5) and
the chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re -
move burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages (
I
26) of the
chain bar, in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and
sprocket chain wheel covering (15)
and tighten the chainsaw.
Turning over the bar (4) requires you to
move the tensioning screw (
F
22) to the
other side of the bar. Unscrew the retain-
ing bolt attaching the bar to the tensioning
screw. Move the tensioning screw over
to the other side of the bar and screw the
retaining bolt back in.
With the oil nozzles in good condi-
tion and the oil regulator set cor-
rectly, the saw chain will spray a
little oil off after starting.
Turning the blade
The blade (4) must be inverted every 8-10
working hours in order to guarantee even
wear.
If the blade (4) is turned around, the ten -
sioning screw (23) must be re-fitted to the
other side of the blade:
1. Remove the chain wheel cover
(15), the sawing chain (5) and
the blade (4).
2. Release the fixing screw (23a),
which connects the blade (4) to
the tensioning screw (23).
3. Position the tensioning screw
(23) on the other side of the
