5. Before starting the equipment
Caution! Do not fit the battery until the equipment has been fully assembled and
all the settings have been actuated. Always wear protective gloves when working
on the equipment to protect yourself against injury. Carefully unpack all parts and
check that they are complete (Fig. 1).

5.2 Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for use as a pole-operated pruner)
5.2.a Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain
•
Undo the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 5).
•
Take off the chain wheel cover.
•
Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs around the cutter rail (Fig.
6/Item E).
•
Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the mounting in the chainsaw (Fig.
7). At the same time guide the chain around the chain wheel (Fig. 7/Item K).
•
Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8/Item C) and fasten it hand-tight with the
fastening screw.
Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted
the chain tension (see section 5.2.b).
5.2.b Tensioning the saw chain
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and
adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to
protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 5).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 9/Item D).
Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, turning it counter-
clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it
can be lifted approx. 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 10).
•
Secure the fixing screw (C) of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 8).
Notice: All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.
