TENSIONING THE CHAIN
1. Unscrew the nuts about 1 turn.
2. Lift the tip of the bar a little.
3. Tension the chain with the screw until the
chain is ush with the underside of the bar.
FIG. 15
4. Tighten the nut.
CHECKING THE CHAIN LUBRICATION
Do not use the chain saw without adequate
lubrication of the chain, this will wear out the
chain quicker.
1. Check the oil level in the tank.
2. Start the chain saw.
3. Run the chain when holding the bar
about 15 cm over a suitable surface for
15 seconds. If the chain lubrication is
working properly there should be
splashing of oil on the surface.
LUBRICATING THE SPROCKET
IMPORTANT:
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
• Switch o the saw, pull out the plug and
wait until all moving parts have
completely stopped before lubricating it.
The bar sprocket should be lubricated at intervals
of 25 working hours, or once a week during
intensive use.
1. Clean the sprocket.
2. Press grease from the nozzle of the grease
gun into the lubrication hole until it comes
out by the edge of the bar. A grease gun
with a slim nozzle simplies eective
lubrication.
FIG. 16
3. Pull round the chain by hand. Repeat until
all the sprocket has been lubricated.
FILLING CHAIN OIL
NOTE:
Preferably use biodegradable, vegetable chain
oil to minimise the environmental impact.
1. Place the chain saw on a stable surface
with the ller cap facing up.
2. Clean the cap are the area around it,
if necessary.
3. Open the ller cap slowly and take it o.
4. Carefully ll with chain oil. Avoid spilling.
5. Check the oil level in the sight glass. The oil
level should be between the MAX and MIN
markings.
FIG. 17
6. Tighten the ller cap by hand.
7. Wipe up any spilled oil.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
WARNING!
• A worn or incorrectly led chain can cause
kickback, which can result in fatal and/or
serious personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
• The ling should be done with a special
tool to ensure that the chain has the right
angles and height.
• All the drive links should have the same
height. Dierent heights of the drive links
will cause the chain to run out of balance
and damage it.
• The minimum height of the drive links is 4
mm. Discard the chain if they are less. The
angles of the cutting edges must be
maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes from
inside and out.
• File the chain with a round le. Always le
the cutting edges from inside and out. Pay
attention to the values given in the
diagrams. After ling all the drive links
should have the same width and height.
