WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only
original parts. Pull out the power plug before doing any work on the chainsaw itself-injury
hazards!
1. Remove all parts of the electric chainsaw from the box and carefully remove all packaging. Take
care not to lose any instructions which may be affixed to the parts. These provide important
information which will be required while assembling the electric chainsaw.
2. The tool is completely assembled on delivery. Before you start up the electric chainsaw, adjust
the chain, fill up with chain oil and check the automatic lubrication and chain brake function.
NOTE!
Always recycle the packaging in accordance with local recycling schemes.
Preparing to assemble the Electric Chainsaw
Assembly
Step 1 - Tensioning the saw chain
WARNING!
An incorrectly tensioned chain may break or spring off, leading to danger or injury.
Test the electric saw before every start and the chain tension after every hour of sawing.
1. Ensure that the chain brake has been released, that is, that the chain brake lever is pulled up
against the front handle (7).
2. Loosen the clamp knob (13) so the chain bar move.
3. Adjust the SDS chain tension knob (11) in the “+”direction to increase tension or in the
“—”direction to slacken the chain. Adjust the chain so an entire drive link is just visible.
4. Ensure the chain rotates smoothly on the bar, then fully tighten the SDS knob and lock in place
with the clamp knob (13).
5. When the saw chain is tensioned with 9N (approx.1kg), the gap between the saw chain and the
guide rail may not be more than 2mm.
NOTE!
Do not over tension the chain as this will reduce life of chain bar and motor.
NOTE!
With a correctly tensioned chain you will get good cutting performance and a longer life.
NOTE!
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not sag at the rail underside and can be rotated
completely around with the gloved hand.
