Fitting the saw chain

E
1. Lay out saw chain 1 such that the bevelled
cutting edges of the chain links point in
a clockwise direction. See the detailed il-
lustration.
2. Place saw chain 1 in blade groove 2 and on
chain wheel 18.
3. Replace chain wheel cover 6 and screw on
blade fixing 4. Blade fixing screw 4 is sim-
ply to be tightened lightly by hand.
Hole 20 on the blade is the holder for chain
tensioning pin 21.
Thread 19 is the holder for blade fixing screw
4.
Ensure that chain tensioning pin 21
is positioned in hole 20 on the blade.
The pin must be completely inserted
into the hole.
Tensioning the saw chain
The tension of saw chain 1 is important both
for your safety and for the function of the high
pruning saw. A correctly tensioned saw chain
will increase the lifetime of your equipment.
Saw chain 1 is correctly tensioned if it can
be pulled around blade 2 by hand (wearing
gloves) without sagging.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw
chain and the guide rail may not be more than
2 mm.
