12. Mount the air filter (45) and air filter cover
(44) again.
Adjusting the carburettor
The carburettor has been preconfigured for
ideal performance at the factory. If any re-
adjustments are necessary, have the adjust-
ments made by a specialist workshop.
Mounting the saw chain and blade bar
CAUTION! Cutting injuries! Wear cut-
resistant gloves when working with the saw
chain or with the blade bar.
Tools and aids required
• Combination tool
Procedure
1. Switch off the device, disconnect the
spark plug connector (46) (Fig. O) and
allow the device to cool down.
2. Place the device on a level surface.
3. Pull the chain brake lever (13) to the front
handle (1).
4. Turn the chain tensioner screw (16) with
the combination tool (25) ⭯ in order to
release tension from the saw chain (10).
5. Unscrew the two nuts (17) on the sprock-
et cover (15) using the combination tool
(25).
6. Remove the sprocket cover (15).
7. Push the blade bar (11) towards the chain
sprocket (34) and remove the saw chain
(10) and then the blade bar (11).
Changing the saw chain and blade bar
Prior to changing the saw chain, the groove
of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt be-
cause dirt deposits available can cause the
saw chain to break out of the rail. The de-
posits can also absorb the chain oil. So the
consequence would be that the chain oil
would not or only a small part of it would
reach the underside of the rail and the lubric-
ation would be reduced.
Requirements
• Mounting the saw chain and blade bar,
p. 21
Procedure
1. Replace the blade bar (11) and the saw
chain (10).
2. Fit the blade bar (11) and saw chain (10)
as described under Installing the saw
chain and blade bar, p. 21.
Installing the saw chain and blade bar
CAUTION! Always carry out mainten-
ance and adjustment work with the engine
switched off and the spark plug connector
(46) disconnected.
CAUTION! Cutting injuries! Wear cut-
resistant gloves when working with the saw
chain or with the blade bar.
Notes
• Before fitting a new saw chain: Check the
blade bar and chain sprocket for damage.
Tools and aids required
• Combination tool
Procedure (Fig. C)
1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Deactivate the chain brake: Pull the chain
brake lever (13) back towards the front
handle (1).
You can only refit the sprocket cover (15)
when the chain brake band has been re-
leased.
3. Place the blade bar (11) on the blade
bar bolts (33) and slide it onto the chain
sprocket (34).
4. Thread the saw chain (10) over the chain
sprocket (34).
5. Place the saw chain (10) on the top of the
blade bar (11) in the blade bar groove.
Start at the chain sprocket (34). It is nor-
mal for the saw chain (10) to sag.
6. Pull the blade bar (11) forwards to ten-
sion the saw chain (10).
7. Put the sprocket cover (15) back in posi-
tion. Ensure that the chain tensioner pin
(38) engages in the receptacle (35).
8. Tighten the two nuts (17) on the sprock-
et cover (15) hand-tight. The blade bar
should still be able to move.
9. Tension the saw chain: Turn the chain
tensioner screw (16) with the combination
tool (25) ⭮.
10. Tighten the nuts (17) of the sprocket cov-
er (15) using the combination tool (25).
Tensioning the saw chain
NOTICE! Do not re-tension or change the
saw chain when it is hot because it shrinks
slightly once it has cooled down. If this is not
observed it can lead to damage on the guide
rail or the engine because the saw chain is
now too taut on the blade bar.
Regularly tightening the saw chain provides
safety for the user and reduces and/or pre-
