Help in case of malfunction

7.3 Tensioning and slackening the saw
chain (14)
1. Tension the saw chain using the Phillips
head on the angle screwdriver (14/1):
■
Tensioning the saw chain: Turn chain
tensioning screw (14/2) in clockwise di-
rection (14/a).
■
Slackening the saw chain: Turn the chain
tensioning screw in anti-clockwise direc-
tion (14/b).
2. Check the chain tension (see chapter 7.2
"Checking the saw chain tension", page 38).
Repeat the previous step, if necessary.
7.4 Installing saw chain and chain bar (15 –
19)
If the cutting performance decreases, the saw
chain and possibly the chain bar must be re-
placed. The chain bar must be replaced if there
are clear signs of wear on the guide groove for
the saw chain.
Use only OEM spare parts for the saw chain and
guide rail (see chapter 12 "Technical data",
page 43).
CAUTION! Risk of injury on the saw
chain. The cutting edges of the saw chain are
very sharp so that cutting injuries can occur when
handling the saw chain. Before all work with the
saw chain, heed the following:
■
Switch off the appliance and remove the re-
chargeable battery.
■
Wear protective gloves.
Remove saw chain and chain bar (15)
1. If the battery is plugged in: Pull out the bat-

pruning saw.
2. Open the fastening ring (15/1) for the sprock-
et cover (15/2).
3. Turn the fastening ring anti-clockwise.
4. Remove the sprocket cover (15/a).
5. Remove saw chain (15/3) and chain bar
(15/4).
6. Remove the saw chain from the chain bar.
Cleaning
1. Clean all removed components of wood chips
and oil deposits.
2. Clean all exposed parts, in particular the
sprocket and oil entry hole.

Install the saw chain and chain bar (16 - 18)
1. Turn chain tensioning screw (16/1) using the
Philips head of the angled screwdriver until
the chain tensioning pin (16/2) is at the rear
thread end (16/a), see chapter 7.3 "Tension-
ing and slackening the saw chain (14)",
page 39.
2. Place the saw chain on the chain bar:
■
Align (17/a) cutting teeth (17/1) of saw
chain (17/2) that are to lie on the top of
the chain bar with the tip of chain bar
(17/3).
Note: Ensure that the chain is fitted cor-

■
Place the saw chain in the groove (17/4)
of the chain bar and guide completely

3. Place the chain bar together with the fitted
saw chain into the open housing:
■
Lay the saw chain (18/1) around the
sprocket (18/2).
■
Align the chain bar (18/3) in such a way
that the guide pin (18/4) engages in the
slotted hole of the chain bar.
■
Align the chain bar so that chain tension-
ing pin (18/5) engages in the chain ten-
sioning hole.
■
Align the saw chain so that it is in the
groove of the chain bar and on the drive
sprocket.
4. Close the housing:
■
Put the sprocket cover (19/1) in position
(19/a).
■
Turn the fastening ring (19/2) clock-wise.
