ing (9).
• Insert the telescopic tube (6) into the casing's hold-
ing fixture.

Attaching the shoulder strap (Fig. 3)
Assembly and use:
• Fix the shoulder strap on the flap (4)
• By changing the adjuster, the length of the shoul-
der strap can be altered. Adjust the length of the
shoulder strap in such a way that it ensures a com-
fortable working posture.
• Put the shoulder strap over your right shoulder.
• Carry the tool's motor on the right side of your
body.
Never put the shoulder strap over your shoulder
and across your chest, but put it on one shoul-
der. In this way, you will be able to quickly re-
move the tool from your body in case of emer-
gency.
m Warning! Use only original manufacturer's re-
placement parts, accessories and attachments. Fail-
ure to do so can cause poor performance, possible
injury and may void your warranty. Never use the
machine without the guard assembled!

both sides and rotate the head to the required po-
sition (from 0° to 120°). Make sure that the motor
head clicks into place again.
Fitting the cutter bar and the chain (Fig. 7-12)
Remove the chain wheel cover (pos 7/ Item J) by
undoing the fastening nut (14). Lay the chain (Item
F) as shown into the groove which runs around the
cutter bar (Item E).
Note the alignment of the chain teeth (pos 11). Insert
the cutter bar as shown in Fig. 10 into the mount at
the gear unit.
Place the chain round the chain wheel (Item H).
Make sure that the teeth of the chain engage se-
curely in the chain wheel. The cutter bar must be
hooked into the chain tensioning bolt (Item G).
Fit the chain wheel cover Important! Do not fully
tighten the fastening screw until after you have ad-
justed the chain tension (see section 7.1).
Tensioning the chain (Fig. 7-12)
Undo the fastening screw (pos. 14) of the chain
wheel cover by a few turns .
Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning
screw ( pos 20). Turning the screw clockwise in-
creases the chain tension, turning it counterclock-
wise decreases the chain tension. The chain is cor-
rectly tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm
in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 11).
Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover.
Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the
guide groove of the cutter bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised
by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you
know that the chain tension is ideal.
