• Use the flat-head screwdriver (31) to turn the chain-tensioner
screw (21) clockwise until the lower part of the saw chain
(17) slides into the guide rail (16). The saw chain (17) must
lie against the underside of the rail. When the chain brake is
released, you should be able to pull the saw chain (17) over
the guide rail (16) by hand.
NOTE
A new saw chain (17) stretches and must be tightened more
regularly.
• Tighten the two locking nuts (20) with the spark plug wrench
(31).
Sharpening and caring for the saw chain
m WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw chain
(17). There is a danger of injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
NOTE
A properly maintained and sharpened saw chain reduces the
amount of bodily effort and level of wear and produces a bet-
ter result.
Clean, maintain and sharpen the saw chain regularly.
Maintenance intervals
The figures given here are based on normal operating conditions. In the event of more difficult conditions, such as strong dust generation and
longer daily working hours, the given intervals are to be reduced correspondingly.
