Chain Tension
WARNING! Do not install the battery pack before make the
adjustment. Always use gloves when handling the chain.
1. Loosen the lock knob B before adjusting the chain.
2. Turn the chain tension knob until slack is out of chain.
3. Whilst wearing protective gloves, pull down on the chain to check
the chain tension.
4. Do not use excessive tension on the chain. Doing this will cause
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain.
Using excessive tension will also reduce the amount of cuts per
battery charge.
5. Only when the tension on the chain is right, then tighten the
tension wheel firmly.
Important!
It is very important to adjust the chain tension if the chain is loose.
Check if the chain is loose every 10mins.
NOTE! When tensioned correctly it should be possible to pull one
full chain link free of the bar channel with ease.
- A new chain will expand its length during the first period of use.
Check and re-adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can
easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar.
