Mount the saw chain

1. Spread the chain (5) out into a
G
loop with the cutting edges run-
ning clockwise .
2. Relax the tensioning screw (24)
against the clockwise
direction.
3. Slide the saw chain (5) into the
bar guide groove. To mount the
guide bar (4), raise it to an angle
of approx. 45 degrees. This will
make it easier to replace the saw
chain (5) onto the sprocket (25).
It is normal that the saw chain (5)
is slack. Sagging in the chain is
normal.
4. Pre-tighten the chain (5) by turn-
ing the tensioning plate (24)
clockwise.
5. Position the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15). First place the tab
(26) on the cover into the corre-
sponding notch on the plate (15).
Only lightly tighten the fastening
bolt (14), as you will still have to
tension the saw.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after use
and oil may leak out if it is stored on its
side or on the head. This is a normal
process due to the necessary ventilation
opening on the upper edge of the tank and
does not constitute a reason for complaint.
As each saw is checked during production
and tested with oil, a small residue may
be in the tank despite draining, which may
slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit.
Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the
guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because
dirt deposits available can cause the chain
to break out of the rail. The deposits can
also absorb the chain oil. So the conse-
quence would be that the chain oil would
not or only a small part of it would reach
the underside of the rail and the lubrication
would be reduced.

Mount the saw bar

1. Lay the saw on a flat surface.

2. Turn the fastening bolt (14) anti-
clockwise
the sprocket chain wheel cover-
ing (15).
3. To fit the new bar, place the bar
(4) onto the bar bolt (23) with
the tensioning plate pointing out-
wards (24).

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides
safety for the user and reduces and/or pre-
vents wear and chain damages. Before the
start of work and in approx. 10 minute inter-
vals, we recommend the user to examine the
chain tension and correct it, if necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
"expansions" can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the chain
when it is hot because it shrinks slight-
ly once it has cooled down. In case of
non-observance, this can lead to dam-
ages on the guide rail or the engine
because now the chain is too taut on
the blade. Chain tension and chain
lubrication have a significant im-
pact on the service life of the chain.
