N Loosen nuts
N Raise the guide bar at the nose
N Use the screwdriver to turn the
screw (1) to the right until the

abrasive chain".
N Raise the guide bar further and
tighten the nuts securely

A new diamond abrasive chain must be
retensioned more frequently than one

N Diamond abrasive chain can sag a
maximum of a = 15 mm

increased wear of the cutting
attachment.

extended period.
