Connecting the Chain Saw Head
1) Insert the end of the long drive shaft into the end of the branch
cutter ( ensuring the locking screw locates into the locating hole
to ensure the correct cutting position ) and tighten the screw
securely. Fill up the chain oil reservoir with chainsaw oil.
2) Fit the Chain if not already pre-fitted by loosening off the
Locking Bolt ( found on the outside of the side plastic cover of
the head ), then loosening off the Chain Tensioner Screw ( turn
anticlockwise ). Locate the chain over the sprocket in the head
and around the chain blade holder. Adjust the tightness of the
blade by tightening up the Tensioner Screw. The chain must
turn freely, but must not be too loose as this would cause the
chain to slip off. If the chain is too tight it will wear out the chain
prematurely. Once adjusted tighten the Locking Bolt securely.
3) Apply a little chain oil to the chain prior to use.
Chain Oil Reservoir
Locking Bolt
Ensure the reservoir is fully filled with proper chain oil. Do not use
engine oil as this will damage the chain and will generate
excessive heat and smoke.
