Changing saw rail and saw chain
WARNING:
The teeth on the saw chain are very sharp!
Wear protective gloves when performing any work on
the chain.
Risk of injury:
An incorrectly attached saw chain will
cause the power tool to cut in an uncontrolled manner!
When attaching the chain, observe the specified running
direction!
•
Place the pole saw on any suitable flat surface.
•
Unscrew the handwheel counterclockwise until the
saw rail can be moved by hand (1).
•
Turn the chain tensioning wheel clockwise to push
the saw rail as far as possible onto the chain wheel
(2).
•
Detach the handwheel (3) and remove the chain
cover (4).
•
Place saw chain around the saw rail starting on the
upper part of the rail. Slide the chain in the slot
around the saw rail.
When attaching the chain,
ensure that it is in the correct running direction.
•
Place the saw chain around the chain wheel (5).
•
Place elongated hole of the saw rail on the stud
bolt and the guide bolt (6).
•
Attach the chain guard (7). Tighten the handwheel
slightly (8).
•
Tighten the chain tensioning wheel anticlockwise to
tension the chain (9). The saw chain must not sag,
but it should be possible to pull it 2-3 millimeters off
the saw rail in the middle of the saw rail.
•
Tighten the handwheel to attach the rail and the
cover (10).
•
Turn the saw chain by hand to check that it runs
perfectly. It must slide freely in the rail.
NOTE:
Check and re-adjust the tension of a new chain
after working for a few minutes. Switch the motor off,
remove the battery and actuate the chain brake.
