use a soft brush to remove debris from the
guide bar, saw chain, sprocket and chain
sprocket cover.
- Keep the ventilation slits clean and free of
dust.
Caution! Do not use water or liquid
detergents.
Tensioning the saw chain
The saw chain must not sag, but it should be
possible to pull it 2-4 millimetres off the guide
bar in the middle of the guide bar.
- Turn sprocket protection 6 towards the left
to loosen it.
- Turn the chain tensioning wheel 5 clockwise
to tension the chain.
- Turn the saw chain by hand to check that
it runs perfectly. It must slide freely in the
guide bar.
- Tighten the sprocket protection 6 to secure
the guide rail and chain tensioning wheel 5 .
Note: Check and re-adjust the tension of a
new chain after working for a few minutes.
Switch the motor off, remove the battery and
actuate the chain brake.
Cleaning oil guide groove in the guide bar
- Remove guide bar.
- Remove dirt from the oil guide groove using
a suitable tool. Use a plastic spatula, not a
steel tool!
- Re-attach guide bar.
Regrinding saw chain
Special tools are required to sharpen the saw
chain and guarantee that the blades of the
chain are sharpened at the correct angle and
to the correct depth. We recommend having
the saw chain reground by specialist.
