cutting characteristics and prolonged working
life! The chain life mainly depends upon sufficient
lubrication and correct tensioning!
1)
Loosen the locking nut. Lift the tip of the guide bar and
keep it there as you adjust the tension.
2)
Turn the tension screw clockwise until the chain "tie
straps"
are just touching the bottom edge of the guide bar.
3)
Check the chain tension using one hand to lift the saw
chain against the weight of the product. The correct
chain
tension is achieved when the saw chain can be lifted by
approx. 2-4mm from the guide bar in the centre.
4)
Turn the locking nut to tighten the cover completely.
h. Chain lubrication
WARNING! The product is not filled with chain
oil. It is essential to fill the product with chain
oil before using it! Never operate the product
without chain oil as this will result in extensive
damage to the product!!
Operating the saw chain dry or with too little
chain oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten
the product life span and cause rapid wear to
the saw chain and guide bar from overheating!
Insufficient chain oil is evident by smoke or bar
discoloration!
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain during
cutting operations is essential to minimise
friction with the guide bar!
1)
Set the product on any suitable surface with the chain oil
tank cap facing upwards.
2)
Unscrew and remove the tank cap, then add the
lubricant
into the tank. We recommend using environmentally-
