Mounting the guide bar and saw chain
Warning!
Adjust the guide bar and chain only when the engine is not running.
1 Loosen the nut and remove the sprocket cover.
2 Turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the tensioning nut (2) stops at the left.
The chain is very sharp. Wear work gloves to avoid cutting yourself.
4
Place the chain on the guide bar, starting at the bar/sword tip.
4 Insert the guide bar into the attachment bolt. Insert the pin on the tensioner into the
hole (4) and place the chain on the sprocket at the same time.
5 Replace the sprocket cover and tighten the nut by hand.
6 Now turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the chain hangs only minimally on
the underside of the rail, and the tang of the chain links is in the running groove of
the rail.
Tensioning the saw chain
Restore tension during the cutting operation:
•
Switch off the engine and loosen the nut a little.
•
Hold the rail tip upwards.
•
Use a screwdriver to tighten the tensioning screw
(1) clockwise until the chain is again tight against
the bottom of the bar.
•
Tighten the nut well again.
A new chain must be re-tensioned more often than an older one. Check the chain
tension regularly (see section "Operating instructions / During operation")
