Tensioning the saw chain
P. 5, item 6
– To tighten the chain, turn the chain adjustment ring (4) clockwise. To loosen the tension, the chain
adjustment ring (4) anti-clockwise.
– Tighten the fastening bolt (5) again.
Letting the saw chain run in
During the run-in time, re-tension the saw chain and rail after a maximum of 5 cuts.
Checking the tensioning of the saw chain
The saw chain is tensioned correctly if it lies close against the underside of the saw rail and can be
moved easily by hand.
Readjust tension of the saw chain when nec- essary (Re-tensioning the saw chain p. 16).
If there is sufficient chain greasing, the oil spraying off of the saw chain will form a slight trail.
Checking the chain greasing
– Check the oil quantity in the tank.
– Start the device.
– Hold the running saw chain approx. 15 cm over a suitable surface for a time (15 s).
Filling up saw chain oil
P. 5, item 6
– Lay device securely with the tank cover (10) upwards.
– Before opening, clean the tank cover and the filler neck if necessary.
– Slowly open and remove the tank cover.
– Carefully fill up the saw chain oil. Do not spill!
– Read the oil level at the inspection glass (6). .
– Tighten the tank cover by hand.
– If you have spilled any saw chain oil, be sure to wipe it up.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
A new saw chain must be re-tensioned after a maximum of five cuts. This is normal during
the run-in time; the intervals between subsequent re- tensionings will get larger.
NOTICE!
Device damage!
The device may not be used without sufficient chain greasing. Insufficient greasing reduces
the service life of the device.
NOTICE!
Environmental damage!
Since the saw chain oil can penetrate the environment during operation, biologically degra-
dable special vegetable based saw chain oils should be used.
