Assembling the chain bar
and saw chain
1. Remove the plastic shield
2. Place the chain around the nose wheel of the bar
Place the bar onto the engine unit and fit the chain around the
bar
3. Make sure that the chain is turned the right way (forward).
4. Mount the plastic shield
5. Tighten the shield nut with your fingers.
6. Lift the tip of the bar and tighten the chain using the yellow ring
around the shield nut.
The chain shall be tightened so that you can just lift the driving
link free of the trace of the bar.
7. Fastened the bar and shield cover securely.

Tensioning the saw chain
Always pull the plug out of the power socket beforedoing
any work on the machine! Wear safety gloves!
Check the chain tension regularly. Do not tension the chain too
tightly. When cold, it should be possible to lift the chain in the
middle of the chain bar approx. 5mm. Tighten the hand wheel
securely. When warm, the saw chain will expand and slacken and
there is a danger of it jumping off the rail altogether.
Re-tension if necessary. If the saw chain is re-tensioned when
hot, it may need loosening again when the sawing work has been
completed. Otherwise, the contraction that takes place, as the
chain cools might result in an excessively high tension. A new
saw chain requires a running-in period of approx 5 minutes. Chain
lubrication is very important at this stage. After running in, check
chain tension and re-tension if necessary.
Maintaining the chain
Adding chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil tank cap before
opening. Check the contents of the oil tank duringsawing work by
checking the oil gauge. Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe away
any spills.
Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and chain bar must be
evenly lubricated during operation. Lubrication is automatic. Never
work without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the chain bar
and chain will quickly beseverely damaged. It is therefore important
to check the chain lubrication before every use. Never use the saw
when the oil level is below the “Minimum” mark.
•
Minimum - When only approx 5mm oil is visible at the lower rim
of the oil gauge, you must top up with oil.
•
Maximum - Top up with oil until the window is full.
