ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION
Fitting the blade and chain
Pull the protective shield (1) in the di-
rection of the front handle (16) to ensure
the chain brake is not activated.
Remove the nuts (6) from the side plate
(8) over the chain wheel. Lift the side
plate off.
Move the chain tensioner bolt right
down towards the chain wheel by turn-
ing the chain tensioner screw (7).
Position the blade (3) on the chainsaw
so that the chain tensioner bolt fits in
the hole.
Place the chain (4) around the chain
wheel and into the groove in the blade.
Check that the chain will run in the
right direction.
Fit the side plate and blade by screwing
the lock nuts tight by hand while lifting
the end of the blade upwards.
Turn the chain tensioner screw until
the chain's drive link touches the un-
derside of the blade.
Tighten the nuts securely and tension
the chain fully while holding the end of
the blade upwards.
Tightening the chain
Adjust the chain tension by turning the
chain tensioner screw (7).
Turn the screw clockwise to tighten the
chain and anticlockwise to slacken it.
There should be a few millimetres of
play in the chain when lifted from the
centre of the blade.
The chain must not hang below the
blade.
Note! A new chain expands initially. It
is therefore important that the chain
tension is checked often during the
saw's first few hours of use. Manual-
ly lubricate the chain regularly using
chain oil.
Note! Loosen the lock nuts before ad-
justing the chain tensioner, otherwise
the parts may be damaged.
Store the key by clicking it securely into
the holder (9) on the chainsaw.
