Retensioning during cutting work:
Ÿ
Stopping the engine.
Ÿ
Loosen the nut.
Ÿ
Hold the bar nose up.
Ÿ
Use a screwdriver to turn the tensioning screw (1)
clockwise until the chain fits snugly against the
underside of the bar.
Ÿ
While still holding the bar nose up, tighten down the nut firmly.
Ÿ
A new chain has to be retensioned more often than one that has been in use for some
time.
Ÿ
Check chain tension frequently.
Checking Chain Tension
Ÿ
Shut off the engine.
Ÿ
Wear work gloves to protect hands.
Ÿ
The chain must fit snugly against the underside of the
bar and it must still be possible to pull the chain along
the bar by hand.
Fitting The Chain
Adjusting the Throttle Cable
Ÿ
A properly adjusted throttle cable is the
precondition for correct operation in the full
throttle, starting throttle and idle positions.
Ÿ
Adjust the throttle cable only when the unit is
completely and properly assembled.
Ÿ
Press down the throttle trigger lockout (1) and
squeeze the throttle trigger (2) (full throttle) – this
sets the throttle cable correctly.
Chain Lubricant
Only use recommended lubricant. A full chain oil tank is sufficient for only half a tankful of
fuel. Check the oil level regularly during cutting work. Never allow the oil tank to run dry.
Preparations
Ÿ
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area
around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.
Ÿ
Position the machine so that the filler cap is facing up.
