Replacing and tensioning the saw chain
The standard equipment of the Hakki Pilke 38 Pro firewood processor includes an AC10 automatic chain
tensioner. Using a pressure spring, the AC10 maintains optimal saw chain tension at all times (the spring load
pushes the saw motor backwards at an optimal power).
Replace the saw chain as follows:
1.
Turn off the machine and disconnect it from its
power source.
2.
Open the guard.
3.
Lower the saw bar about halfway down, as in
Figure 27. Note! Use gloves!
4.
Using a 17 mm wrench, turn locking part A (in
Figure 27) about 90 degrees in the open direction
to release the saw chain locking mechanism.
5.
Pull the saw chain down to move the saw motor
forwards and to loosen the chain, as shown in
Figure 27a.
6.
First release the saw chain from the drive pulley,
then from the bar, then remove the chain.
7.
Install the new cutting chain (first on the drive
pulley, then on the bar) and ensure that the
cutting teeth face the rotating direction.
8.
Also ensure that the chain is properly placed on
the groove of the bar, and then tighten the chain
by turning locking part A (in Figure 27) about
90 degrees to the close direction using a 17 mm
wrench.
9.
Finally, ensure that the chain is at the correct
tension and properly in place.
