Adjustment of the chain tension:
1 First, undo the fastening screw of the chain wheel cover by a few turns.
2 Below the chain sword is located at the front side of the apparatus, the
screw head of the clamping device (g). Turn it with the supplied spark
plug socket (29) in the appropriate direction to increase or loosen the
tension of the chain.
Turning the screw clockwise increases the chain tension, turning it
counterclockwise decreases the chain tension.
3 If the chain is adjusted correctly, tighten the fastening screw firmly
back in the chain wheel cover. New chains expand. Check the new chain
after a few minutes of operation. Let it cool and then check if the chain
can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the guide bar.
Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of
the guide bar.
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When
you have finished working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten
when it cools down. This will help to prevent damage to the chain.
Add oil:
The prerequisite for proper operation and long life of the product is

regular lubrication. Therefore check before each use of this equipment
to the oil tank and add oil if necessary. Proceed as follows:
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface. Clean the area around the oil tank
cap (21) and then clean the oil tank cap.
Fill the tank (21) with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt
enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
Close the oil tank cap.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain
oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below
the „min" mark will damage the chainsaw.
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
Different lubricants with completely different viscosities are required at
different ambient temperatures.
At lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve
a sufficient lubricating film. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used
during the summer it will become even thinner due to the ambient
temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating film could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition,
the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Never use waste oil for chain lubrication.
Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating property, is
environmentally harmful and caused, prolonged and repeated skin
Contact Skin cancer. Use only lubricating oil, which has a sufficient
resistance to aging, so it does not harden and solid deposits form, which
could damage the device.
Keep always to the specified oil intervals. This device must for a working
time of max. 15 minutes with new oil.
