(Original instructions)
Fitting the guide bar and chain. (fig. A - L)
Always wear protective gloves when installing
or removing the saw chain (6). The saw chain is
sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
Place the chainsaw onto a stable surface (fig. A).
u
Fully loosen the chain adjust locking knob (9) (fig. B).
u
Remove the chain cover assembly (10) (fig. C).
u
Turn the tension adjust ring (5) anti-clockwise as far as it
u
will go so the arrow on the tension adjust ring (5) lines up
with the marker on the chain cover assembly (13) (fig. D).
Place the chain (6) over the guide bar (7) making sure that
u
the saw chain cutters on the upper part of the guide bar
(7) face towards the front (fig. E).
Guide the chain (6) around the guide bar (7) and pull it to
u
create a loop to one side at the rear end of the guide bar
(7).
Guide the chain (6) around the drive sprocket (14). Place
u
the guide bar (7) onto the bar location studs (15) (fig. F &
G).
Place the chain cover assembly (10) onto the chainsaw
u
(fig. H) making sure the arrows are aligned (fig. I).
Turn the chain adjust locking knob (9) clockwise to attach
u
the chain cover assembly (10) and lightly tighten (fig. I). to
release the tension (fig J).
Turn the chain adjust locking knob (9) 180 degrees
u
anticlockwise to release the tension (fig J).
Turn the chain tension adjust ring (5) clockwise until the
u
chain (6) is tight. Make sure that the chain (6) is snug
around the guide bar (7) (fig. K).
Check the tension as described below. Do not overtighten.
u
Tighten the chain adjust locking knob (9) (L).
u
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. K)
Before use and after every 10 minutes of use, you must check
the chain tension.
Remove the battery (12).
u
Lightly pull on the chain (6) as shown (inset fig. K). The
u
tension is correct when the chain (6) snaps back after
being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar (7). There
should be no "sag" between the guide bar (7) and the
chain (6) on the underside.
Note: Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and
the chain.
Note: When the chain is new, check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting from the mains) during the first 2 hours of
use because a new chain stretches slightly.
To increase the tension (fig. J, K & L)
Turn the chain adjust locking knob (9) 180 degrees
u
anticlockwise to release the tension. (fig. J).
