Direction of travel of the
saw chain
4. Slide the saw chain (7) into the bar
guide groove. To mount the guide
bar, raise it to an angle of approx.
45 degrees. This will make it easier
to replace the saw chain (7) onto the
sprocket (20).
5. Place the chain bar (8) and saw
chain (7) on the bar bolts (19). When
the pin (19a) to the right of the coach
screw (19) sits in the slotted recess
on the blade, the blade is placed cor-
rectly.It is normal that the saw chain (7)
is slack.
6. Position the sprocket chain wheel cover-
ing (12). The chain tensioner pin (21)
on the inside of the sprocket cover (12)
must be guided into the chain tension
pin holder (22).
7. Pre-tension the saw chain (7) by turning
the screw for the chain quick-tensioning
system (11) in clockwise direction.
8. Tighten the fastening bolt (10) ( ).
Note that the saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after use
and oil may leak out if it is stored on its
side or on the head. This is a normal
process due to the necessary ventilation
opening on the upper edge of the tank and
does not constitute a reason for complaint.
As each saw is checked during production
and tested with oil, a small residue may
be in the tank despite draining, which may
slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit.
Please clean the housing with a cloth.
Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the
guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because
dirt deposits available can cause the chain
to break out of the rail. The deposits can
also absorb the chain oil. So the conse-
quence would be that the chain oil would
not or only a small part of it would reach
the underside of the rail and the lubrication
would be reduced.
Tensioning the saw chain
Regularly tightening the saw chain pro-
vides safety for the user and reduces and/
or prevents wear and chain damages.
Before the start of work and in approx. 10
minute intervals, we recommend the user to
examine the chain tension and correct it, if
necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
“expansions” can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the
chain when it is hot because it
shrinks slightly once it has cooled
down. In case of non-observance,
this can lead to damages on the
guide rail or the engine because
now the chain is too taut on the
blade. Chain tension and chain lu-
brication have a signifi cant impact
on the service life of the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand. 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.
