•  Check that the chain is tensioned correctly, sharp and 

there are no signs of any damage;

•  Check that hand grips and protection devices are 

 

clean and dry, correctly mounted and securely fastened  

to the machine;

•  Check that the chain brake is working efficiently;
•  Check that the trigger switch and the safety lock switch 

move freely without forcing and return automatically and 

rapidly back to their neutral positions;

•  Check that the trigger switch remains locked until the 

safety lock switch is slided back;

•  Make sure the cooling air vents are not clogged with 

sawdust or debris;

•  Check that the chain’s oil level is not below the bottom 

level mark; if necessary, top up the oil to 1 cm from the 

rim of the filler.

 NOTE: 

You must fill the chain oil tank with bar and chain 

oil before using your chain saw.

Adjusting the Chain Tension

m

WARNING!

 

Use protective gloves when handling the 

bar and chain.

1.  Make sure the front hand brake is not engaged. Loosen 

the sprocket/chain end cover a little by turn the end cover 

nuts counterclockwise with the included hex key wrench/

blade screwdriver (Fig. 4).   

2. 

Lift up the guide bar tip slightly. Use the other end 

of the hex key wrench/blade screwdriver to turn the 

chain adjusting screw clockwise to tighten, turn it 

counterclockwise to loosen. A cold chain will be correctly 

tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the 

guide bar; the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand 

without binding (Fig. 5).

3. 

Retighten the end cover nuts. Using a screwdriver, run the 

chain along the guide to check that it moves smoothly.

Chain Lubricant

IMPORTANT! Only use a good quality bar and chain oil 

designed specifically for use with chain saws to ensure optimal 

lubrication of the cutting parts. Do not use oil containing 

impurities to avoid clogging the tank filter and permanently 

damaging the oiler.
IMPORTANT! The chain lubricating oil is bio-degradable. The 

use of mineral oil or engine oil can have a serious impact on 

the environment. It is essential that you use good quality oil to 

lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or poor quality oil 

does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan 

of the chain and bar. 
IMPORTANT!

 Before each use, the oil level should be checked 

and topped up to 1 cm from the rim of the filler. To fill the oil 

tank, remove the oil tank cap and add the recommended bar 

and chain oil. The oil level must not drop below the bottom 

level mark, as indicated beside the oil tank (Fig. 6).
