Setting
1. Undo the lock nut.
2. Turn the screw clockwise.
3. Tighten the lock nut when the chain is
correctly tensioned.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not overtension the chain. If the
chain is overtensioned this results in
excessive wear and reduces the life span
of both the chain and bar.
• A new chain stretches when being run in
– check the tension at regular intervals.
INCREASING THE LENGTH OF THE
HANDLE
The reach of the product can be increased by
fitting an extension tube between the machine
head and the handle.
1. Align the slots on the outside of the
coupling on the handle and on the inside
of the coupling on the extension tube
with each other.
2. Push the extension tube onto the handle.
3. Push up the coupling sleeve and turn it
clockwise until it is firmly tightened.
4. Align the slots on the outside of the
coupling on the extension tube and on
the inside of the coupling on the machine
head with each other.
5. Push the machine head onto the
extension tube.
6. Push down the coupling sleeve and turn it
clockwise until it is firmly tightened.
WARNING!
Check at regular intervals that the extension
couplings are well tightened and have not
begun to unscrew.
