Checking the tensioning of the saw
chain
WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY!
A new saw chain must be re-tensioned after a
maximum of ve cuts. This is normal during the
run-in time; the intervals between subsequent re-
tensionings will get larger.
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 necessary
( ► Re-tensioning the saw chain –p. 14). If there is
sucient chain greasing, the oil spraying o of the
saw chain will form a slight trail.
